I lived in Soest, Netherlands 3 years. I rode often. The paths and lanes are perfect . Returning to US, and its dangerous idea of narowing roads with painted lines and stupid green trafic light boxes gives riders a false sense of safety and entitlement. Often youll see white bicycles to memorialze spots were these same entitled riders were run over and died.

I know they make a telescopic seat posts for tall people. You will have to test out the various handle bars to see which one you like. According to the gazillions of articles written by Brompton users, the Brompton can handle just about anything. I can zip up the hill with no problem. I have 6 gears on my C-line but I would think you would need at least 3 gear for hills.Thank you for your interest! ...and Welcome to the fold!

I don't understand. Almost all bikes are designed where the rider is leaning forward and the head needs to be lifted. Doesn't this cause that same compression in the neck? So why don't all bike riders suffer from neck pain? Maybe they are using exercises or techniques that help the pain instead of just keeping their heads down, which they don't.
@RideandShineBicycling17 күн бұрын
It's a valid point! I want to know the answer. There are various factors at play, including bike fit, riding posture, and individual conditioning that can affect neck pain in cyclists. But you would have to ask a doctor, I just interviewed one. Thanks for the observation.

I’m pretty sure others have proven scientifically that tires really don’t need to be deflated. Also, you may find it easier to keep the pentaclip attached to the saddle and just loosen the pentaclip bolt just enough to remove the combined saddle/pentaclip from the seatpost. To make the bike even more compact, you can then drop the seatpost out the bottom of the seat tube and store it separately in the suitcase, likely padded by some clothes. You may also consider keeping your helmet out of the checked luggage to avoid unseen damage. Glad to see you made it all fit though!
@RideandShineBicycling20 күн бұрын
I appreciate your detailed advice. That is interesting about the tires, I have read it and tried it both ways. It does seem that they do not need to be deflated. One less step is always good. I like the idea to include the pentaclip on the saddle, next time I will try this. Thanks for the tips.
