I don't think it would be very difficult to thread a lead from the terminals on the front light to the rear rack - just so long as you went under the bottom backet - the direct route is no good as it separates when you fold the bike. More recent postings on my use of the bike are at <a href="http://www.combingmyhair.com" rel="nofollow">www.combingmyhair.com</a> Cheers Gareth Hi Alex

I cannot judge by the photos, is there a rear dynamo light attached? If not was there any issue in getting one as well? Hi Gareth, that is one sweet ride!

I have moved my blog to www.combingmyhair.com where you will see that safe riding is not quite what I was engaged in last week. My Alfine Tikit is on its way back to Eugene for therapy.

Am getting quite excited at the prospect of Folding Bike Challenge. Have done the majority of my training. The Tikit goes into the local bike shop for a thorough service next Saturday and then I'm set. Will do Charmaine. Am getting quite excited at the prospect of Folding Bike Challenge.

Let us know how it goes - - I have a Tikit also (and another model of Bike Friday) and I might be interested in going on next year's ride. :) :) Charmaine Ruppolt Hi – I came across your blog, and see that you’re signed up to do the London to Paris ride on your Tikit.

Going to get my Tracklogs mapping software out and compare gradients and total elevation :-) Of course, you have to get to the foot of Alpine Road, which can be tiring...
