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

11. Strap Bike Together
Most Bike Friday bicycles
have a Velcro strap attached
to the seat mast for use dur-
ing the quick fold. Unwrap
the strap and then thread it
over the handlebar, 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
pin in the stem is properly engaged to the fork.
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.
