Touring on a Folding Bike

For all those interested in a Folding Bike Touring manual I have published "Touring on a Folding Bike"  It is meant as a guide on how to travel and explore the world using a Brompton but also any other reliable folding bike. Discover the advantages of touring with a small and easy to carry bicycle and the amazing opportunities it opens up for the keen cyclist. Hopefully you will find some good advice, fruit of several years of experience on a Brompton folding bike. 

While the book is mostly for the less experienced cyclists, maybe thinking to tour for the first time - at least on a folding bike - I hope that even the more experienced bike tourist will find some valuable and useful advice. For those that have followed my YouTube Channel, while some of the information has been covered in the videos, the book provides more insights into the process I follow before and during a bike tour, in what I hope is an easy to read and well structured way.

A Brompton and a Train in Devon

 

A Brompton folder combined with a train ticket can make it really easy to explore the best parts while skipping what is less interesting or places one has already seen. In this ride along the South Devon coast Andy makes the best of the ease with which our favourite folder can be easily transported.

Bike Packing South England on a Brompton

 

The combination of Covid 19 restrictions on all travel and the forecast of good and dry late April weather, spurred me to finally take a tour of England, what has been home away from home for many years. In this tour, started from central London, I followed mostly National Cycle Network routes available on www.sustrans.org.uk, moving South and the West to Land's End and returning to Bath, my final destination. 

Below you will find a link of the 15 sections which reflect the day stages I followed. To download the GPX files simply click on the links below:
