Pavelka, Ed - Pocket Rocket, www.RoadBikeRider.com

'RIDES AS GOOD AS YOUR BEST BIKE' is the Friday-famous quote from former Bicycling executive editor Ed Pavelka, co-founder of authoritative roadie resource, RoadBikeRider.com. Ed was one of the first "serious roadies" to own a Bike Friday and he still loves it. RBR's link to Bike Friday says: "If you want to take a bike when you fly, you simply can't afford not to have one of these."
This photo was from one of the river crossings at El Tour de Tucson. As I recall, the course was 113 miles long that year and I managed to average 23 mph even while riding the last 60 miles solo. It was my first long ride on the Pocket Rocket and proved that it really was as good as my best bike. -- Ed
