I’m packing to fly out to Rotterdam tomorrow to be a speaker at this, and thought I would dump a clip on youtube showing how I pack my Brompton when I’m going on work trips. I’ve lost count of how many aeroplanes I’ve checked this bike onto in the way I show here, and you’re perfectly right: I don’t cycle to reduce my carbon footprint.

That’s enough blogging. I must go and tell the Netherlands they should not use bikes to take people to pinch-points like stations, but to plan for growing numbers of cycling enthusiasts who want to ride door to door.  Wish me luck brethren!
