    You don't have to spend hundreds to get a folding bike that you can use for an international cycle tour. Second hand folding bikes can be excellent value if you are prepared to do any repairs yourself! Small repairs and replacing any worn out parts can be done with simple tools and these light weight bikes can be stored easily in a cupboard or under a bed.

    I always buy secondhand folding bikes wherever possible, however if you are looking for a good value strong & compact folding bike to tour consider Zizzo forte they come highly recommended amzn.to/3tLE3wq

    Very nice bike ride. Enjoyable to watch and see more of your beautiful nz countryside. I doubt i'l get to nz (im gen not an international traveller) so good to see from a cyclist view! Good storytelling also...

    Very nice ride. It's a pity there aren't that many people enjoying those really nice roads.

    Big big dark cloud up there, it probably scares people away except the hero 😂.

    We Dutch may be more keen on cycling, but we don't have landscapes like that. Feels like we have a proper representative in NZ who does all the cycling for us over there. Keep on going because it may feel like you are on your own out there but we Dutch are following your adventures with great enthousiasm.

    • @hobocyclist

      Cheers mate! I've enjoyed cycling in your country, and there are many similarities - cows, farmland etc. however I do enjoy having the trails to myself sometimes!! Thanks for following my adventures

      @@hobocyclistI do agree, being out there on your own makes it more of an adventure.

    Folding bike is compact it shouldn't be light weight. The more a bike weighs the more it's durable. Let me know your opinion about that

    • @hobocyclist
      @hobocyclist  10 місяців тому +3

      Yes it should be tough. I have ridden steel frame folding bikes but they are very heavy, the good thing about them is they are strong. My aluminium frame bike i have now is also very strong but weighs about 4kg less (its abot 11kg) that makes it a better choice for me if i fly with it internationally, since the weight limit on luggage is 23kg - meaning i can carry extra camping gear etc

    Yes, as a Londoner I admit I was unaware that the Thames estuary stretched as far as Kiwiland. The weather looks fairly similar to here cloudwise, though it must be colder here right now as I’m wearing jumpers and jackets on my bike. Nice stripy shirt near the end. Great video.

    • @hobocyclist
      @hobocyclist  10 місяців тому

      Cheers Matt! We have a lot of places down here with old English names, its interesting to compare to the original. The big shirt is to keep me from getting sunburnt, that will happen in 10 mins in the Kiwi sun!!

    beautiful.....I'm sure this answer is in another video but how many gears does your folding bike have? I have a 2 speed Brompton....I want to use it for places I have to fly into instead of my full size bike.

    • @hobocyclist
      @hobocyclist  10 місяців тому +1

      I have 6 speed gears on my folding bike, it works well!

    Enjoyable video thanks Andy, you have inspired me. I have a Tern Verge P 10 , it has narrow tyres so I'm wondering how it would handle the gravel...Did you start in Paeroa?

    • @hobocyclist
      @hobocyclist  10 місяців тому +1

      Yeah that was the start point. I reckon you’d be fine on this trail with narrow tyres, but always a good idea to prepare for flats & carry a puncture repair kit! All the best for your adventure!! 🚲🏝👍☀️
