Sumei Toh Rides BF NWT, Llama, Tikit and Pocket Rocket

Sumei Toh was the first client to test-ride all four Bike Friday select models on Tuesday, May 22, 2012. Since I assembled them, no one had ever ridden the bikes until Sumei. So she was riding each bike for the first time. So here is the riding order and general reaction: 


1. She rode the 5 NWT InfinityTour Nuvinci first and said the shifting of the Nuvinci CVT hub was smooth.


 Then adding the trailer with Samsonite flight case, she found that the drag was very small, although noticeable. The New World Tourist model is what Sumei prefers. Although the 5.4 lb nuvinci made it a little too heavy for her.


 2. Pocket Llama select: we assembled it out of the second Samsonite flight case and had to change the Thudbuster suspension seatpost as it was too high for her.



 3. Pocket Rocket Select: being use to drop bars, Sumei really liked the ride and lightness of this bike but the Tiagra Shifters were an upgrade to her old school drop bar twisters.





 4. Future Tikit with delta C-drive belt. She liked the silence of the belt and the fold was as usual quite fascinating.



 Sumei wants to do more research on the nuvinci and belt drive. Hopefully she will be ordering a NWT soon. P

About Myfamily Cycles Services, Malaysia

IN THE BEGINNING
 Fresh from our Europe tour, instead of packing in new clothes, souvenirs & chocolates, we lugged 2 boxes of foldable bike and trike home. That was in February 2012. Gleefully taking out from the box, Andy assembled the trike in the kitchen and did his first test drive in the public park at 12 midnight with Kaydee & Sachiko ( our two doggies). I rode the bike and boy! what an unforgettable "wheeee whoosh !"  That early day and days ahead, were the beginning of sleepness nights over these incredible 2  (or 3) wheel machines. 


SHARE & MULTIPLY
Share good things in life. We can't stop talking. Friends and family test-drove the bikes.  Words cannot describe the bonds fostered. We were encouraged.
Devouring articles, write-ups, news, events, etc, every available time was spent going around looking for bicycle shops and meeting real bicycle people. They are intoxicated - for the love of bicycles. Tops for passion. The domino effect is unstoppable. In March,2012, myfamilycycles.com was born.

TALK TO US about Bike Friday ! Available in Tandem, Commute, Touring, Mountain & Road models.  Visit us at our showroom for a guided tour. See, touch & ride the bicycles that fly !
