7. Unfold Your Bike
Lift out your bike
and unfold
it. The rear end of the bike
will swing around until the
rear end hinge tips engage
the quick release on the
frame (make certain the
frame quick release is open).
As you unfold your bike,
make certain the cable hous-
ing that goes around the bottom bracket does not get hung up on
the left crank arm or hinge.

Assembly: Unfolding
9. Secure Seat Mast
With the seat mast upright,
close the quick release. You
may be concerned about hav-
ing a folding bicycle secured
with one quick release; how-
ever your Bike Friday bicycle
has been carefully designed
so that your weight tightens
this joint. The quick release
simply makes the bike easier to carry.
Remove packing materials from frame.

8. Unfold Seat Mast
With the rear end engaged,
lift the seat mast from its
stowed position along the
mono-tube and pull it fully
upright. The small fork tips
on the seat mast hinge will
overlap the rear end hinge
tips.
