I've read many loving tributes to Sams, Hilsens, Hunqapillars and other Riv 
bikes over the last few years, but there is precious little writing out 
there about the joys of owning and riding a Betty Foy. I'm familiar with 
Lovely Bicycle's faint praise, and I've read and re-read the posts (and 
seen the videos) from the women of Let's Go Ride a Bike, but I've always 
found it odd that there isn't a lot out there about the history of the 
Betty Foy, the fun people have had in the saddle, or musings about what the 
Foy has meant to the lucky woman (or man) who owns one. Even Rivendell's 
site is scant when it comes to copy about the Foy, saying only that you can 
do equally well on a Betty Foy what you can do on a Sam. That's the 
equivalent of saying "Yeah, so's your sister." 

And now that Betty Foy (and her brother Yves) are nearing the end of their 
model lives, I fear that I'll never learn all there is to learn, or read 
all there is to read about this bike that I've come to love so much. Unless 
I write it myself, of course...

Feeling thinky on a Saturday night,
Cecily
