[Bent] Test Ride of New Folder from Butterfly Bicycles

[Old Pokey]

Today I went on a 10 mile ride with my new folding recumbent bike.  This was
the first production model of Butterfly Bicycles.

It had been two weeks since I took possession, so I was not sure that I
would remember how to fold and unfold it even though the manufacturer left
me a one page check list.  But I had no problems.

I wanted and easy ride for the maiden voyage, so I waited until my wife
wanted to ride with me.  She is a good rider, but a bit slower than me.  My
problem was that this new recumbent was not only smooth, but it also went
faster than I expected, causing me not to get much exercise on the ride as I
wanted to keep my bride in sight.  I took the hills, both up and down, very
well.  It also has a built in shock, so it was very smooth.

The components on the bike are first rate: Ultegra fork, etc.

The bike has beautiful fit and finish and is powder coated red.

It takes a minute to fold and 2 minutes to unfold.

I highly recommend it.
