I will never forget the lanky "folding biker" in New York City, who nearly 
ran me down while I was walking to Grand Central Station on my way home and 
he was crazily pedaling against traffic ... clearly on his way down to the 
Hudson, clearly so because the black backpack on his back sported the 
Feathercraft logo. To this day I'm wondering whether he'll have stowed the 
bike wheels under or on deck before switching from pedaling to paddling.

Best regards,
Ralph (no longer near NYC)
