Thanks, as I've said before, if it rolls, someone will tour with it. My first long tour was with an old 28" first
world war ccm single speed when I was 14. I couldn't swing my leg over the seat then either but I was much
more agile and flexible so could make it work for hundreds of miles.
I don't think a brompton would suit my needs as I tour away from towns and cities so need extra gear
and provisions for wilderness camping.
