10. Nest Handlebar
Place the handlebar across
the top of the mono-tube
and seat mast, with the stem
portion on the right side of
the bike.

11. Strap Bike Together
Most Bike Friday bicy-
cles have a Velcro strap
attached to the seat mast for
use during the quick fold.
Unwrap the strap and then
thread it over the handle-
bar, around the mono-tube,
through the rear wheel, and
back up again to the buckle.
This will keep the bike from unfolding as you carry it. If you have a
TravelBag, place the bike in it now and zip it shut.

Quick Fold
12. Unfolding Your Bike Friday Bicycle
Unfolding your bike into riding condition is just the reverse of these
steps. Before you ride your bike again, double-check to make cer-
tain that all of the quick releases are secure, and that the alignment
snap button is properly engaged with the slot in the stem.
If you are a bicycle commuter who frequently folds your bicycle,
you might consider ordering a chain retainer. Sometimes when
folding and unfolding your bicycle the chain can fall off of the front
chain ring. The chain retainer attaches to your frame and serves as
a chain catcher to keep the chain in place.
