<div style="font:10pt arial"><b>Subject:</b> [Bent] Test Ride of New Folder
from Butterfly Bicycles</div>
<div><br></div>Today I went on a 10 mile ride with my new folding recumbent
bike. This was the first production model of Butterfly Bicycles.
<div><br></div>
<div>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. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The components on the bike are first rate: Ultegra fork, etc.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The bike has beautiful fit and finish and is powder coated red.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It takes a minute to fold and 2 minutes to unfold.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I highly recommend it.</div>
