Hey Mark -- does your company make a decent (and affordable) folding bike
for pilots? I've thought about it many times, but haven't moved forward on it (yet). A folding titanium bike would be a very, very narrow niche market It's not just for pilots. I've often thought that the bike manufacturers have under-estimated the size of the folding bike market. As with LED spotlights, battery powered air compressors, and those "instant-jump-start" thingies, when a product becomes affordable, it suddenly becomes a "necessity" -- and the market simply explodes. Every one of the items I mentioned above were unaffordable -- or unavailable -- just a few years ago. Now, they have become "standard equipment" in each of my cars. If marketed as a convenience, or even as a safety device ("Never get stranded again!") I believe that an affordable folding bike could become the next "gotta have" thing for the general population -- not just pilots. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
