Hawaii Bicycling League

Just the tikit ^TM for the Handsomest Man in Cuba

The multicultural, inquisitive face of Cuba, where families are close and no child is left outside.

Aloha friends of the Friday fold ...

Just a last-minute reminder about the Hawaii Bicycling League Annual Membership dinner. Your friendly HBL managed to drag guest speaker The Galfromdownunder (Bike Friday Customer Evangelist Lynette Chiang - this is she) back from the freezing rain and snow, to entertain you with more multimedia travel tales.

The Handsomest Man in Cuba: A Bicycle Escapade: Coinciding with the 2007 USA publication of my travel memoir by Globe-Pequot press, I'll present a slide show of my solo, self-supported expedition showing what it's what it's like to eat, drink and be cautiously merry in a country everyone has a second hand opinion about. Americans can't legally go there, allow me offer you the next best thing - a glimpse from the saddle. "This is a book not just for bikies, not just for tourists, and not just for those with one of the usual axes to grind about Cuba. This is travel literature at its best." - Robert van der Plas, Cycle Publishing
Slideshow, website, some signed copies for sale, or ask at your local bookstore. Sample chapter, limited SIGNED copies available from the Bike Friday Online Store

Just the tikit ^TM: Recognizing that it's probably more prudent to divorce your car than gallivant around Italy, Bike Friday has come up with the "The World's fastest folder with the famous Friday ride" - the tikit ^TM.
I will demo its amazing 5-second (on a slow day) fold and show clips from my "Michael Mooreish" tikit On Trial experiment, in which I attempt to take past velophobic security guards in New York.

.. and she's for sale:
This size Small demo tikit, complete with fenders, front rack, special cover, valued at almost $1400, will be for sale at $999, tax and shipping free. There's also a new, hardshell Samsonite F'lite suitcase to go with it for a little extra. We're also talking with Hawaii bike shops who might be interested in stocking this unique commuter bike, and Bike Friday in general. Tell us your favorites!
