I recently traveled with my Bike Friday on United. I didn't volunteer that it was a Bike Friday, and nobody asked, so I didn't have to pay a bike fee. Now I'm trying to figure out which bike to bring to New Zealand for a loaded tour. I hate breaking down and building up bikes, but I nevertheless think the Atlantis will get the nod. I'm just not comfortable with the Friday on the steep downhills, of which, I have heard, there are many in New Zealand. -- -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
