Tikit Folding Bike Unsafe

Was Santa planning on leaving your child this hip Tikit folding bike under the Christmas tree this year? Not if he's on the "nice" list! The CPSC and Tikit are voluntarily recalling 3800 of these products after reports that the handlebar stem can easily break, causing the rider to lose control and crash. Several injuries have already been reported as a result of the faulty handlebars, so you'll need to put the brakes on riding this bicycle until you contact Bike Friday at 1-800-777-0258 about a repair.
