I did the Black Friday store circuit twice--once on my bike. Neither time was worth the effort. I guess I didn't go early enough in the morning or shop for the right stuff.
It seems that bikes and books don't figure much into BF sales. A few online retailers had sales on one thing or another for today. I guess I've become jaded: I didn't bother to check them out.

I'll admit that, just for fun, I typed "Black Friday bicycles" into a search window. The first few entries featured Bike Friday machines. I've met a few owners; all of them raved about their bikes. If I were shopping for a high-end foldable bike, I might consider them--and, of course, Brompton.
