Tikit to Ride

Tikit Finnish for stitches. Hindi for ticket. Pali for arriving and going. Now, it is the latest thing from Bike Friday.

The Bike Friday Tikit

There is an new post about the Tikit here.

Bike Friday makes travel bikes. A better definition is that Bike Friday makes bikes that fold up and then can be put into a suitcase. There are also wheels for the suitcase so you can pull it behind your bike. The only problem is that this suitcase is large, and I mean large enough to be checked luggage, and possibly be considered oversized.

Until now, there was no issue with the folding of the Bike Friday bike. Yes, some required you to remove the wheels and pack them in the suitcase, but hell, this was still easier than trying to take a regular bike with you.

Now we have the Tikit. This bike not only folds, but folds like a mother fucker. You don’t believe me, watch the videos for folding and unfolding it.

Folding the Tikit

Unfolding the Tikit

In case you didn’t notice, the folding and unfolding was done in what, 15 seconds each?

Damn, I want one of those.
