My Brompton Travels

As a boy, I used to bike everywhere, the distance was no object, but as I started work, the joy of this activity fell by the wayside, a car began to take the lead and I travelled all over Europe for business. But now as I enter retirement, biking is taking my interest again, and one cycle, in particular, a Brompton, I have one on loan, just to see if this is not just a fad, well I am pleased to say its not. So I am looking for my own, new or secondhand.

I have a few trips planned, but it's going to have to be a summer expedition, I have tried cycling in the wet and its not fun, so Fairweather cycling it is.

But why a Brompton, well it's simple, I intend to use trains as part of my travels, it's folding nature allows easy access and no problems, My first trip will be on the train to London and a meeting on the Euston road, then on to the Kings Cross area to look at the Google building, and I hope a small report.

I use a Pixel phone, so along with my Brompton, a  handlebar holder, to use the maps app, together with  I hope time-lapse photography.
