While Dad was finished with his massage, and waiting for Mom's massage to wrap up, he sat at a local coffee shop to kill some time. During that time, he got his hands on a Eugene Weekly and read about the local bike shop, Bike Friday, which builds bikes that fold-up into the size of a briefcase. This also happens to be the same bike shop where our friends, Damon & Michael, work. Seeing that they give free tours, Dad was intrigued, so the next day he and Anne rode bikes over to check it out.
 |
| It was only a 15-20 minute bike ride from our apartment to the shop. |
 |
| This bike is about $1500, give or take some... |
 |
| This is how it looks folded up. Commuters can just fold it up and take it onto the bus, train, plane, etc. |
 |
| That's Kirk, the master salesman who did a great job giving info and answering questions. |
 |
| To travel by plane with your Bike Friday, here's a luggage case to take through the airport. |
 |
| Tandems! |
 |
| All that empty space on the rack means bikes have been built. To the bottom left, all those are "orders" waiting to be built. |

| There's Michael, hard at work! |
 |
| Time for a test ride... |
 |
| All in all, some cool Father-Daughter time :) |
