We'll show you how to "quick-fold" a Bike Friday
Folding a monotube-style Bike Friday is easily learned and can take less than thirty seconds. Photos by Kurt Jensen; the customer is Dawnielle Anderson. The Bike Friday is the Metro.
Unlatch the quick-release at the base of the seat mast
The rear triangle will swing loose. You may need to shake the bike a little to encourage the rear of the bike to drop.
Lift the bike and swing the rear triangle under the main tube
Rotate the front wheel 180 degrees
The fork needs to point towards the back of the bike for the rear wheel to line up next to the front.
Unlatch the quick-release at the base of the handlebar stem
Pull the handlebars from the headset
Slide the handlebar stem between the wheels
The stem should fit snuggly between the wheels. Slide in until the handlebars rest on the rear wheel.
Rotate the seat mast forward
The saddle will nestle against the main tube. If you have your seatpost extended further, the saddle will stop against the headset. You may want to retract the seatpost into the seat mast to avoid getting grease on your saddle
Fit the Bike Friday into the TravelBag
Place the wheels and the latch on the rear triangle on the bottom of the open bag. Pull the bag over the seat mast and zip the front flap up.
You're ready to go
The TravelBag has both a shoulder strap and hand grips.
