- A video of the first 10 days of my 2024 EU folding bike tour. I did the first 10 days with a friend and we mostly spent the time in or around the city of Amsterdam. While I brought a bike from home he baught one here at a second hand shop. We walk around the city and visit some museums as well as get some rideing days in the country. All while I light my bank account on fire and dance in the light of the flames.
Thanks for the first update, we hope you continue to have lots of fun!
looks like a great time. enjoy
Its a fun place to ride bikes and has lots of great cultural activities ;)
Hey! you and Juice went together. Nice!
For sure, someone will watch. 😉
Hey brother. Long time no see. Drop me an email sometime I miss hearing from you.
The top row of bicycles, in the parking, are able to be pulled out for a better reach!
Yes they are. It's a fantastic system
You may know that an American, originally Army Folder: Montague, is also sold in a civil version, and with "ordinary size wheels" and gears! As I am an owner of a Top Brompton, the formerly named, Superlight Model, I know that the small wheels gives much more rolling resistance than larger wheels!
And if possible, I may advise You to visit Denmark, also with a brilliant system for people on bikes, also bridges only for those (and walkers), crossing the harbor in Cph. And even with a tallest point hardly 200m the Country is - far from flat😁, which is really felt on a bike! And if interested, we still have a 1.WW Fortress Wall round Copenhagen, mostly as built. It kept Denmark out of the war, as we had invited a German Officer up to look at the built, and from his Report we could, after the war, see that he expected it would be too costly to take Copenhagen. So though absurdly expensive, it was worth the money! Today most is a Park, but some areas are restored and now has buildings made as the originals, from their drawings.
You are able to ride a bike along most of its length round Copenhagen, to the large lakes to the North, intended to be floded, in case of war. Finn. Denmark
I'm very firmilure with Montague bikes. When I was looking at different folders a year or two ago they as well as Brompton came up. My first folding bike purchase for this project was an older montague frame. I do like there structure but I just could not get it to fold small enough to check on an airplane without additional fees. I think the Friday is a good middle ground between the Brompton and Montague, at least for my needs. My current plan is to head south from here but Denmark is already on my list of future plans. Maybe if it gets too hot in France I'll take a train north and check it out. Thanks for the advice.
@@mattmcconnell6870 I have honestly never been close to one, so I can't tell? But I could imagine that the US product quality is lacking a little? The not so well known, Danish invented, "Petersen bike", mostly made in British Dursley round the former, last century, also had a folding version for Army use, but I hardly think they are still being produced, as no one had heard of of airplanes by then. The ordinary bikes are still being produced, also in Denmark, intended for more modern parts/equipment to be used.
