Does Bike CAD come in a version that’s Mac compatible?
How much does it cost and how long does it take the average Joe to learn?
thanks,
Robert

Yes, BikeCAD runs on any operating system. See this link for some screen captures: http://www.bikeforest.com/CAD/linux_mac_windows.php
BikeCAD Pro costs $350 Canadian. If I had to describe its ease of use in terms of a common dessert, I would say that it is as easy as pie.
You can get a good sense of what BikeCAD Pro is like by trying the free version of BikeCAD.
