| Tikit first impressions, not so good. |

I ordered a fancy new folding bike to take with me when I travel, called a Tikit, from a company called Bike Friday. Quite excitingly, it is a custom-built bike, specifically for my measurements, and even better, built entirely in the US. As I waited the month for the bike to be built and shipped to me, I have to admit my expectations had risen quite high. That is probably why I really wish the company would have started off on a better foot. Unfortunately, my Tikit is here now, but things are off to a rocky start. There are some parts missing, they didn't configure it exactly like I wanted, and worse, one crucial part is the wrong part entirely, meaning I can't actually ride the bike I have been waiting for all this time, even now that it is in my hands. Here is to hoping the company steps up and gets this straightened out quickly, so that I can see what I think of the actual bike once I can ride it.
