AND

FAST FOLD FOLLIES

Ride, Fold, Sit, Unfold, Ride! See who can fold and unfold
their folder bike the fastest at the FAST FOLD SHOWDOWN. Sat.,
June 7th, 2:30 p.m., Schuylkill River Park at Market Street.

If you have a folder bike, come down and see if you can fold
thisfast. WE ALSO NEED PEOPLE TO CHEER (AND JEER--it's a Philly
tradition) at this event. Refreshments will be served.

Also, stick around for folding bike demos and test rides.

Both events are part of the ROUND UP FOLDER BIKE FEST, June
6-7-8, a three-day look at those clever bikes that fold and
unfold in a trice. This FREE Festival is hosted by Trophy Bikes
in University City, 3131 Walnut St. Philadelphia PA 1910.
215.222.2020.

It brings together folder riders and makers from all over, to
ride and debate the design merits of "compact" bicycles that
collapse for storage or transport.
