Interesting, zebede. Maybe there's hope the stem can stay the same style. How long ago did you replace yours? Things may have changed since, who knows.

Any recent experience with Bike Friday Tikit stem fix?

I recently bought a used BF Tikit, fully aware of the recall that was issued for the handlebar stem. Seller said he didn't know if it had been fixed, as he had bought it used himself. Since I live...

What a great idea! Linberl, what brand of backpack do you use? And could you share a photo of the setup? I have a Sea To Summit packable nylon backpack but the "hang tab" looks too small to fit...

The stores where you shop are more relaxed. My local Trader Joe's and New Seasons (Portland alternative to Whole Foods) ask me to leave the Travoy at the front of the store where they keep an eye on...

Leisesturm, maybe we'll cross paths in Portland, as I live in NE myself :-) I'll keep a lookout for a bike with a BoB Yak locked up outside. Bob Yaks are cool (seen them often when touring), but...

FWIW here in Portland, OR, a trailer attached to one's bike outside the grocery store would be at risk of being stolen. That's a key reason I bought a Travoy, as it's easy to detach and take into...

The Andersen Royal Shopper Plus looks great! Doesn't look like it's available in the US though, alas. Burley Travoy looks to be similar concept. There are so many cool cycling products in other...

LongKayak, how is the market bag better than the storage bag, in your opinion? And is the storage bag the same as the 'tote'? I recently bought a Travoy (2020 version) and it seems the 'storage...

Ooh, good idea! I just ordered a Travoy from REI using the 20% off Labor Day coupon and my dividend, as a gift to myself. Looking forward to being able to carry 40lb bags of dog food, cases of...

Each Bike Friday comes with a 'plaque' glued onto the frame, listing the original owner's name. As I recall you can customize it, don't think it HAS to show your name. I'm a francophile so added one...
