But was this really a case of hard shell vs. soft skin? Walt did stress that he values his K-Light for its particular strength, namely its portability ... At about 6:45 pm, crossing 5th Avenue last Friday, I was almost run over by a tall, athletic looking male pedaling a folding bicycle against traffic on 36th Street. As I turned for the double take, I noticed a large black pack on his back with a Feathercraft logo. Could it be that this lucky person was about to pedal his bike to the banks of the Hudson, unfold his boat, fold up his bike and stow it, then paddle a while before reversing the procedure and pedaling home happy and relaxed? What a way to start the weekend! Would the guilty party own up, please?
