Birdy (bicycle)
The Birdy is a folding bicycle designed by Riese und Müller in Germany and produced by Pacific Cycles in Taiwan. As of 2010 over 100,000 had been sold. Three distinct models have been marketed, in addition to some specialist variations, with the third (Mk3) introduced in July 2015. First released in 1995, it was the first fully suspended folding bike. The ride is regarded by some as more sporty than the Brompton, thanks in part to a stiff single-piece aluminium frame with road bike rider geometry and no hinge. Some prefer its stiff suspended ride and rapid acceleration to that of a full-sized bike. Specifications Markus Riese had the basic idea for the Birdy in 1992. The first prototype was quickly welded together from two old bicycles in his parents' garage (photos and German articlhere. After a year, Markus Riese and Heiko Muller built a prototype out of aluminium and won the “Hessian Innovation Prize”. The prototype was shown at two trade shows, Intercycle in Cologn ...

Birdie (given Name)
Birdie is a given name used in reference to an informal English diminutive word for a bird. Spelling variants include Birdee, Birdy, and Byrdie. It has been in use since at least the 1800s in the United States both as a nickname for various formal names such as Elizabeth and as a formal name. It was among the one thousand most popular names for American girls between 1880 and 1940. It then declined in popularity but has since increased in usage and has ranked among the one thousand most used names for newborn American girls since 2021. Some commentators note that the name has risen in use for girls along with other names of a similar style that all exude cuteness and promote enjoyment, perhaps in reaction to serious times.

It was such a refreshing change from working with megalomaniacs like Roger Waters. Peter’s record company were very difficult to begin with, and so I phoned them to ask if they’d mind if Peter took a little time to do this, and they said as long as it didn’t take more than a couple of months because Peter was already a year late or so ...
