Hello folks!

Greetings from Malaysia. Just want to share my latest folding bike adventure. Rode with my wife for 152km from our home to a small coastal town called "Tanjung Sepat", Southwest on the Malaysian Peninsula. It was an interesting ride as we cycled from Dawn till Dusk. This also puts our endurance to test and here are some of the highlights in pictures..

Stir-fried sweet potato leaves.. only so-so..

Wow! I'm impressed- over a hundred miles on a folder in a day! I'd be suffering at half that distance.
