Folding Bike on Burke-Gilman Trail

Cyclists, walkers and runners abound on the Burke-Gilman Trail on any Saturday morning. This is a section of the trail that cuts through the south end of the Ravenna neighborhood between the University and Bryant neighborhoods. I found it interesting to see a folding bike rider out on a weekend, as I tend to think of these as commute bikes. But I should know better, because I have friends that ride their Bromptons everywhere everyday (that's Norm folding one). Anyway, I hope this guy has the day off and is out for some fun. I believe his bike to be a Xooter Swift, which runs about $700 new.

I hope folks had a chance to sleep in or enjoy some recreation today. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and Lunar New Year, so rest up! :-)
