So, folks, as of today - this is official. I was shown out of the
station - and shown a directive, signed by Yossi Carmeli, "samankal
nos'im", stating that folding bikes are off limits - even when folded
and inside a bag.

But this is not over, by far. I will try to engage the media people,
and if need be - take "Rakevet Israel" to court - I don't think they
have the right to make such arbitrary decisions. I will keep you
posted. Wish me luck!

This comes at a worst of times - when I was actually almost ready to
announce, that Brompton service and import is about to resum.
Obviously, this poor decision by Rakevet Israel puts a large question
mark about all this.
