Uses
With its wide range of gearing options, stiff frame and basic suspension, the Birdy is suitable not only for commuting but also for touring.
The combination of smooth but stiff ride, fold, and quirky looks have created a fetish for the Birdy in Japan. It also has a large following in the UK, Europe, the US, and Australia. The Birdy's folded size is similar to the 20-inch Dahon folders: larger than a Brompton, but significantly smaller than a Bike Friday (including the Tikit).
This is one of the most versatile bikes on the market, offering high performance for fast group rides, comfort for century rides, and sturdiness and luggage capacity for loaded long-distance touring.
