American folding bicycle company

Bike Friday is a manufacturer of folding, small-wheeled bicycles that is headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, United States. The idea emerged when Hanz, traveling in Europe, rode a then-modern folding travel bike and found its performance unsatisfactory; he began experimenting with better designs, and together with brother Alan Scholz, they launched what became Bike Friday. By 2018, it employed 22 people and manufactured frames in Eugene and sold all over the world with dealers in 12 different countries.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
