A Folder is a Great Traveling Companion

Spent a few days in Maryland, USA. Hanging out by the beach, stand-up paddle board, etc. But was able to ride a bit also with my bike along some wild horses. The Brompton was packed in the middle of the mini van; took up less space than my suitcase. Some hotels don't like bikes in the rooms; no problem - my bike was disguised in a S & S backpack. One museum had a "no bikes" sign by their entrance. I put my helmet in my Demano messenger bag' folded the B and went in. No complaints; the cashier actually commented on how tiny my bike is.

Still breaking in a Brooks Team Professional Titanium; but so far not too impressed. Not as comfortable and heavier than the Cambium C17; also stained my khaki shorts. will give it a few hundred miles more before I decide to get rid of it or not.

Demano is a Spanish company that makes bags out advertising banners that
would otherwise go to the trash heap/landfill. This also means that no two bags
will be the same; while some companies may have 2,3,4 or 5 colors - Demano
has over 20 different colors/designs:
