Sorry I don't get the notifications on my phone.. replying now..
Hey flippin , you've been shy, haven't heard a peep from you.
And staep, if I had 2 and a half grand to spend like it was nothing, I would love getting one of those replicas by the company in the vid.
It would be a hoot.
I just remember seeing it a year ago and ran across it again and thought it would be an interesting question for the professionals here.. after watching all the videos of the guy that actually has done a world tour on one.. and he's doing his second now.. it definitely doesn't seem easy.. but
#1 in cool factor imo.
neat. thanks for the info.
The fellow who asked about this hasnt responded at all, but lets face it, the chances that any of us will own a penny farthing is pretty darn small and unlikely, let alone tour on one.
FFlags, you didnt really think any of us have do you?
I've never toured.. I know quite a bit about it.. have friends and met lots who have.. want to.. which is why I'm here.

Yes I'm all about cheap travel.. I have endless time, not endless money.. and I do like riding bicycles.. but a long tour is a completely different thing..
Before I flew to Asai I bought a used Dahon Mariner off eBay it arrived pretty damaged and had to return it.. and kind of chickened out to be honest.
But I'm here because I do want to do it.. not trying to waste people's time sorry.
Cheers
he did say recently that he or she has spent 17 months travelling in Asia and people had been very helpful with him/her for all of the "travelling in Asia" questions. I dont know if he ended up travelling on his folding bike at all, but who knows.
but thats ok asking for advice. A lot of his questions tend to be about lowering a daily budget, which does help when one is spending a long time travelling around like he or she has supposedly been doing, so I get that.
as we know though, there are always people who find a bicycle touring forum and ask all kinds of questions, but dont really participate, but this is a faceless/anonymous internet thing that is not uncommon.
