[Bent] Test Ride of New Folder from Butterfly Bicycles

[Sfriedlander2 at aol.com]

So do you plan on taking it on any trips? Is it convenient to take on  
planes? I tried googling, but couldn't find their website.

Subject: [Bent] Test Ride of New Folder  from Butterfly Bicycles


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.
