Folding Bike Fly & Ride Program

riding the Bigfish folding bikeby Larry Lagarde

Planning a trip to Europe this year?

If you could buy, lease or rent a folding bike from a US retailer and have the bike ready & waiting for you at your destination (such as London), would you?

Recently, I had the pleasure of conducting a video interview with the head of Bigfish. After the interview, I asked R. Logie (a Bigfish rep from the UK) whether we could arrange a Fly n'Bike program for RideTHISbike.com customers visiting London that want to go cycling there via a Bigfish folding bike. Although the details have yet to be fleshed out, I was told it could be possible and we're working on this now.

Fantastic idea, Larry! What a great solution to all the hassles of carrying a bike overseas. Kindof reminds me of the bike-sharing programs that have been launched in Paris, & elsewhere -- so this seems like a thoroughly modern concept :-) Heck, when you get to most airports, there are racks of luggage-toting carts waiting to be rented -- why not racks of folding bikes, too!

(I bet some big-city airport director would like this idea ... and definitely San Francisco's mayor, Gavin Newsom, would have *lots* of fun announcing that HIS airport is extra "green," with folding bikes available for rent! )
