Dan Okenfuss tests out the Bantam Tourist, specially made for Little People. His Bantam Rocket is behind him. Dan joins the Seattle Club ride and finds it a doddle after doing the 110 mile El Tour de Tucson with his 6'5" brother Chuck and staying on his wheel. Hey! He's getting away! LPA Expo 2005: Walter, Bike Friday Fitting Expert for Little People, mans the booth. On the wall are posters of dwarf Dan Okenfuss on his Bantam Rocket. Dan displays his Pocket Rocket.

A bike that fits is one you'll ride, no matter what height you are. Little people need to be able to touch the ground while in the saddle for stability. The Gal meets people in her height range. Three Gals compete with an aggressive carpet for the camera. This guy wants to progress from his scooter to a real bike.

Angela van Etten, lawyer and author of 'Dwarfs Don't Live In Doll Houses'. New this year ... choppers for Little People. They don't give them the much needed exercise of a Bantam Friday, but they're clearly a blast! Motorized three wheel scooters are a way of life for many little people. Walter and I commute to and from our host's place to the LPA Expo each day with a small and medium BIke Friday tikit, respectively. This young man celebrated his 20th birthday sitting on the Bantam Friday. 'It's been 9 years since I last rode a bicycle.'
