SC, I've never been to S. Am., Africa, or Antarctica .... and won't lose sleep over it.... but I do love cycling in the UK. British Waterways have done the cycling world a great service is restoring the canals of England, Wales, and Scotland. I was in London this year, with my Swift, for the Canalcade in Paddington. Lots of narrowboat owners have folding bikes. Very friendly folks, but not very keen on timetables. The scheduled events were on Dali time.
