...WAITING TO BE INSTALLED ON NEW SWIFT FOLDERS

This is my personal bike, and it's a favorite...light, fast, stiff, nimble and comfortable

Hannah Borgeson waits her turn while Richard Brause prepares to take a Swift Folder for a spin.

Hannah looks as though she had a fun time as she returns to the courtyard after her demonstration ride.

Throwing caution to the winds, Richard Brause test rides a Swift Folder with no helmet and returns unscathed with a big smile! Another successful Bike Summer event! (see upcoming Bike Summer events at: http://www.bikesummer.org/2003/ "Come ride with us!"

The Swift Folder's stock color is black, but 5 BBC's Danny Lieberman wanted blue to match his left eye. Peter Reich was only too happy to oblige.

Our host, Peter Reich, adjusts the seat height for Mike Gaughan, the next test rider. These bikes are just plain fun to ride and the smiling visitors kept the diminutive wheels spinning as they took each of the different models out onto to the street one by one. The folks in these photos were not prompted to smile, we all just had a great time. Where were YOU? Don't miss the other events!
