The legendary Heinz Stucke

Folding bikes work and its good: Mr Stucke's Bike Friday pocket Llama

Mr Stucke has traveled the world and is currently touring with a Brompton
One man who proved it that folding bikes can be used to tour the world is Heinz Stucke.
The 71-year-old's Bike Friday pocket Llama is now a showcased item in BF's factory in Oregon.
With an 8-speed folding bike, Mr Stucke had proven the fact that you don't need those fancy schmancy super wide-ranging gear to see the world.
He is now currently touring with a Brompton folding bike, and is currently being sponsored by the British company.

So far so good. Took it for a ride in Putrajaya, Damansara Heights (to test out the hills), and planning to take it to Cameron Highlands this weekend. Averaging only by 10-12kms each trips. Just to work out. I've been travelling a fair bit for work so cannot ride as often as I wish :( . Yes will definitely join you guys in time. Need to make sure I can keep up with the pack .. haha.
