Cycled down to Inspire Community garden today, apple pressing and wood fired pizza's.

Bikes & Touring

Alastairs bikes are:

Brompton 5 speed Sturmey Archer, fitted with rear rack and M type handlebars.

Brompton CHPT 3 edition, 2 speed 'derailleur', titanium extremities. Very lightweight and fast.

Specialized Hard Rock, an old MTB used for riding on trails.

Carlton Super Course, my classic bike used for events.

Batavus 'Dutch' roadster, 2 speed 'Automatix' Sram hub gear with coaster brake, front hub dynamo and brake. Automatic gear change at about 10mph.

Inkerman Special, this is a bike I built up myself with a track frame and Sturmey Archer 2 speed kick shift coaster rear hub. Copper riveted Brooks saddle, copper Sogreni bell and copper coloured pedals.

Most of my touring trips are done using my 5 speed Brompton, it also has a Brooks B17 saddle and Ergon grips.

As well as the standard luggage block on the front which carries all my camping gear there is a Monkii system holder for water bottles or extra kit. An Alpkit 'Gourdon' waterproof bag with carry straps hangs off the saddle with clothing and rests on the rear rack.

For camping I use a Golite Hex 3 single pole tent with an Ookworks nest inner. Is very light and packs down really small but leaves lots of room for gear (and my folded Brompton). Brompton front bag holds tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, Trangia, fuel bottle, cooking utensils & tools.

This set up allows me to use public transport easily, 'Gourdon' on my back and Brompton bag and bike in each hand.
