3/31 http://www.kinetics.org.uk/html/pacy.shtml Nice bike. \_ How useful are folding bikes? Do they make life easier for commuters? \_ You can take a folding bike on BART at any time, normal bikes you can't take on during commute hours. Other transit systems can be similar. They're also convenient for flying. A couple rode them most of the way around Tasmania on the trip I did there. -tom \_ Do a lot of people take them on BART? (Any commuters to SF here?) \_ There are always a few folks with bikes on BART at commute hour because the drivers *very* rarely enforce the rules but wow the one time one did on a standing room only shoulder to shoulder train the bike guy sure was pissed. There wasn't enough space for a small child much less an adult male with a non-folding bike and he tried to force his way on anyway. *Most* of the time it isn't a problem even during commute hours. (I'm talking about non-folding bikes here). \_ When I used to take my bike on BART, there was a rule that you had to use the very last car. Is that no longer true? \_ It's still technically true but it was never really followed anymore than the no bikes during commute hours rule. At least the drivers are more likely to yell at someone to move to the last car then they are to enforce the no bike hours rules. Bart sucks enough without someone's bike jammed against your knee for an hour. \_ It is no longer true that bikes have to use the last car; they can use any car except the first one. -tom \_ Along the same lines: http://www.militarybikes.com Though I think the military one is bigger/heavier. Personally I'd like one of these: http://kildall.apana.org.au/~cjb/wordpress/archives/10 But then again I am such a fan boi. \_ Does it come with an RPG or 50 cal or anything fun like that? Maybe some full plate side armor? And how about a GPS and a medkit. It should also have different camo for the woods, urban, desert and winter environments. And space for an extra bike in case the first one gets destroyed by a mine or IED. And cost $48,523. \_ We care why? |

| www.kinetics.org.uk/html/pacy.shtml Sitemap Search the site: Go Bild02-bearbeitet It looks like a full-size bike, it rides like a full-size bike - but it folds as quickly as a Brompton - 15 seconds with practice. The Pacy bikes are built with no compromises - a double-butted cromoly steel frame as well made as a high-end MTB, suspension if you want it, and a choice of components. Or you could even get just a bare frame and build a bike up from there. Folding is simple - pull a catch and the back swings underneath. To get into a smaller space, remove the quick-release front wheel. The small rear elastomer adds a bit of suspension - but a suspension seatpost and forks adds more.
