2. Shift Into Small Cog

Fig. 2 Shift into small cog
This is best accomplished when you are still riding and coming to a stop, anticipating a quick
fold. You will want the chain the small cog in the rear. If you have a front derailleur with
two or more chainrings in front, shift the chain into the small chainring.

4. Loosen Stem

Fig. 4 Loosen stem quick release
Loosen the stem's quick release or bolt, but leave the stem in the frame for now. If your stem
tends to be a bit sticky on removal, you might partially remove the stem so that it's loose,
but not out.

6. Lift Bike

Pick up the bike by the seat mast so that the rear end swings around and under the bike. New
bikes may be a bit stiff to fold. You might have to lightly shake the bike or push the rear 
wheel down to start the fold.

9. Fold Seat Mast

Fold the seat mast forward until it is next to the mono-tube. We use nylon water bottle cages
so that you can gently bend the cage to the side to accommodate the seat mast.

11. Strap Bike Together

Fig. 11 Seat mast strap
Most Bike Friday bicycles have a Velcro strap attached to the seat mast for use during 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.

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 certain 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 chainring. The chain retainer attaches to your frame and serves as a chain catcher 
to keep the chain in place.
