Now if a folding bike can get past here, it can go anywhere ... Success! Bike Friday rider Jonathan marvels at the stealth package that has somehow made it to his oak paneled door ...

Time to test another bastion of business .... Rhonda parks her Swift right where the tikit is sitting, so it'snot surprising I was let into the Thomson Financial building without a hassle - even if it did resemble the Acropolis inside. Does that look imposing? We shall see! Miki is a product marketer for Pfizer - she's never tried to take her Bike Friday inside - but her husband Jeff had no problems with his Air Glide, folded, and in the freight elevator, once he got permission.
