Factory Field Service. Peter Reich pre-flights one of his Swift folders.

A Bike Friday, "Air Friday" has nothing to fear from the sometimes-rough terrain of New York City's streets! Oooh! Matching gloves!

Population density! There are so many folders on the triangle that there's no room to walk!

The folders form up facing the start point, including one piloted by the youngest rider of the day!

The 2002, Time's-Up! Folds-Up! Ride crosses the East Side Drive in good order

The group stops along the East Side Bikeway in order to enjoy the view

Late afternoon's lengthening shadows, a warm summer breeze, and a great view of both the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges made this a nice spot for a break....
