Here's my thoughts. If you can COMFORTABLY AFFORD a "big name" brand like Bikefriday, Brompton, Dahon or Tern...go for it, and don't feel guilty about it.

And if you can't afford one of those or unwilling to invest in a high end bike, that shouldn't prevent someone from enjoying the sights from the seat of a $250-$350 bike. A bike tour is what you make it of it. Heck, there is a guy with several videos on YouTube that is touring through his state on a 2012 Citizenbike Tokyo!

Have fun riding what you have!

Thanks, Edwong, good advice, too........ There's a couple of "pre-loved" New World Tourists on their home site...... both together would be about $2.5K total...... which, in the long run, wouldn't be impossible.....mulling......
