THE PERFECT BIKE FOR A SMALL PLANE FLIGHT

Cambridge, MA – April 2012 – One challenge of flying a small plane can be transportation at the airstrip. While visiting remote locations is certainly one of the perks of being a pilot, it’s also nice to explore the surrounding areas and travel to nearby towns, without always having to go on foot. But with one of Montague’s full-size bikes that fold, small plane pilots and their passengers can bring bicycles along for the adventure.

For the past 25 years, Montague Corporation, a Cambridge, MA-based bicycle company, has been designing and manufacturing full-size bikes that fold, in less than 20 seconds, to a compact 36”x28”x12”.  Montague bikes fold quickly and easily, without tools, to fit in a closet, in a car trunk, or even the cockpit of a small plane.

And this spring, Montague is introducing the SwissBike™ X90 – a high-performance mountain bike that’s ready to take on even the roughest terrain. No road from the airstrip? With the X90, it’s no problem. This rugged off-road machine fits in the cockpit, but still brings a full-size ride and is made to take on the wilderness.

This ride quality is really what distinguishes Montague bikes.  It’s easy enough to insert a hinge into the middle of a frame and call it a folding bike, but Montague employs a patented folding system that doesn’t compromise the integrity of the frame.  Together with full-size wheels and industry standard components, Montague bikes ride as well as any non-folding bike.

It’s fitting bikes and planes should go so well together – after all, the Wright brothers were bicycle builders and repairmen before they began experimenting with flying machines. And now, thanks to Montague’s full-size bikes that fold, small plane and bicycle travel can be enjoyed as part of the same trip.

Montague offers complete lines of pavement and mountain bikes that fold, so there’s sure to be one to suit everyone’s riding style, lifestyle, and budget. Montague bikes start at an MSRP of $649; the MSRP for the SwissBike™ X90 is $2999. For more information, visit www.montaguebikes.com or contact Montague at 800-736-5348.
