Re: Is a floding bike the best way to travel? - 03/31/08 07:55 PM
Hi Colman,
Nice site you have :-) I'm really impressed what you can handle with your folding bicycle. But those roads in Cambodja are heaven compared to some other roads in the world :-)
Is it possible to handle roads covered with snow
or loose sand like here
and here
with your bicycle?
How is the handling in mud and water with 20" tires?
Are 20" tires comfortable on loose washboard roads ?
The only disadvantage I see in a folding bicycle is the folding point (weakest part of the bike) and the small 20" tires. For the rest they are great of course
For commuting and hitching they are the best you can get! 
Cycle the world (with 26" tires),
