Cycling in Penang (Aug2022)
Update for this bike again...
Been 2 years since my last trip (also Penang), but this trip was catered for riding and photography.
I managed to shave the box down to 89x70x43cm, and this lets the box go into even a small car via the rear passenger seats.
So no more looking for 'special' larger taxi/ ride hail that costs more and more stress looking for in a foreign country.
Moving it around is also simple.
Just a trolley with a disused tube as a bungie to secure it.
In theory, I can get the box to be a bit smaller if I take off the rear wheel, but it might not be worth the effort since the wheel will have to find a space to be placed in the box and its more messy/greasy once rear wheel removal is involved. Also, it would leave the RD in contact with the ground instead of being suspended by the wheel.
Some photos from the trip. Moving around by bicycle certainly provides a good way to get from photo site to photo site in a rather efficient way.
