    Day 27 40K on foldable Brompton bikes

    September 27, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    We’d seen several bikers on foldable Brompton bikes, so thought we should try them out. Peter asked for a manual, but there was only 1, so I lucked out and got an e-bike - same price.

    Took a moment to get used to it - small wheels, heavy battery - but then I loved it. Started out with no power, then decided that was silly - enjoy the « help ». I set it on 1 , which worked well until a big hill - didn’t gear down, couldn’t make it to the top, so quickly put it at 2. I was sailing 🤩

    I decided to use the All Trails app this time, but not set a path so we could do our own thing. After 2 weeks here, we know our way around quite well

    40K later, after rides to the north west & south, with lots of interesting sites along the way - plus a pause for lunch at our super healthy place, Baju - we were exhausted and headed home.
