*HOW TO TRAVEL WITH YOUR BICYCLE* Bragman wrote the book on it

We're delighted to be featured on the front of RoadBikeRider.com's lastest e-book "How To Travel With Your Bicycle" by Alan Bragman, D.C.

Bragman just happens to be a Bike Friday owner, and the book features a generous page on our little wheeled traveling companion.

Naturally we're sharing the limelight with even more cause for kudos - the picture shows Lon Haldeman, unpacking his Friday on the 2004 Peru trip, and was shot by yours truly (a DVD of the expedition is available from Bike Friday).

Finally, RBR itself is owned by Ed Pavelka and Fred Matheny.

Another round of Kool-Aid, folks?

And there's more ...

"I have been traveling with a bicycle since the 1970s when options were limited and it was very difficult. I bought my first bike Friday shortly after they started the company in the early 1990s; I currently ride a Pocket Rocket Pro. I own 5 bikes and the Bike Friday is my favorite. I am hoping they come out with either a titanium or carbon fiber road bike frame soon! (I sweat profusely while riding and this tears up the paint on my steel frame ...)

We travel a lot and I always bring my Bike Friday along. People are constantly shocked when I’m still there at the end of a long hard training ride on that "funny looking bike with the small wheels".

I wrote How to Travel With Your Bicycle so cyclists would realize how easy it has become to travel with a high quality machine. With all the high quality travel bikes currently available there is no reason why cyclists should miss out on their favorite activity while traveling."
