well what can I saybut up till that point quite a good topic good luck with your trip :lol
I presume you refer to the US one (sans trailer and towbar)? On the way home, I had to chop out 80% of the route, and had to rely on... alternative measures to get the trailer home...

Yes, that's a bicycle. With a towbar welded to it.

What was that like to ride? Could you have done any distance on it, or just way too much work? I would guess that once you got it moving you'd be ok, but sod pulling away on it!

It was surprising how light it was - although I did a violent wheelie when I tried accelerating hard once. "Fast " wasn't a word I'd use, but once it was moving, it went!!
Distance could have been done - but by a fitter man than me, along a short route with a few pubs on the way! :lol
Pulling away was a slow affair in first gear and puffing like a steam train - but it moved!!
Squirrel head - foc off. :lol :lol
