Folding Bikes are Great for Cruise Jobs
I know this blog isn’t about folding bikes, but I can’t resist talking about mine. It’s just perfect for a cruise ship job. I will give two examples.
- Thursday we were in Kauai, and my Dahon Vitesse and I got off the ship. I unfolded and biked into town. The main road through town looked too crowded, so I climbed up a side road that looked much less popular. Eventually I found myself at the commercial area, where the Kmart and mall are. Then it started pouring! I was soaked, and none too happy about riding back to the cruise ship. I remembered, though, that the free shuttle back to the cruise ship stops at Kmart. I relaxed – visited the book store, the coffee shop, the sandwich shop. Then, when I was ready, I folded my Dahon up and brought it with me onto the free shuttle, no questions asked.
- Today we were in Honolulu and I was to meet my friend S., who lives on Oahu, later in the morning. I got off the ship mid-morning, stopping briefly at the local bike shop, then pedaled on to Waikiki. I biked all along the boardwalk, past the beaches, stopping now and then for something to drink – then later something to eat. When traffic allowed, S. arrived in Honolulu and called. We met at a nearby intersection a few minutes later, and I folded Vitesse up and she fit perfectly in the truck. And we were off to the beach!
