Folding Bikes

I thought I had written about the folding bikes - but apparently not!

We keep two full-size folding bikes in the mini-van at New Bern so that we'll have bikes when we fly to the boat.

Here's how it works:

First off comes the seat - the seat-post actually holds the bike together.

Then the handle bars are turned 90 degrees.

Then the bike is just folded up.

And placed in an "engineered" plywood frame that holds them steady without any additional tiedown in the back of the mini-van.    From a ride-able bike to stowed takes about 1 minute!

And of course, we take them on the boat when we travel also.  Bulky but worth it!
