Bikepacking in Wales with hired Bromptons - Great short film and story

[chriswoody]

Came across a great story and short film of a trip, which i thought some people might like to see.

The trip was sponsored by Brompton Bike hire, so naturally several Brompton's were hired from the bike dock in Birmingham and then taken by train to Wales, then ridden on a three day trip. I thought that was a fantastic idea and didn't realise you could just hire Brompton's from a central docking station.

Some lovely photos and trip overview are here:

I've only once found a dock near where I was going with any bikes available! Norwich in particular seemed to have no bikes many times.

I've just been reading up on the hire scheme, it does sound an interesting idea in principle. Just a shame as you say, that it's difficult to actually find bikes to hire.

It seems that being sponsored by Brompton means you can guarantee to find three bikes waiting for you!
