Folding Bike touring the light way

[dagsresa]

If you want to cycle and see the world with a light load on a folding bike, here are some advice on how to carry less and become free from unnecessary loads: www.dagsresa.com

My last folding bike trip in May 2017 was Camino de Santiago, link to my travelblog on my page. I have now cycled in 40 different countries with my folding bike, and the journey continues...a luta continua...

Right, let's try and remember what I took around Provence for ten days...
I had a pair of lightweight smartish trousers and a shirt, as I went straight from work.
A pair of smartish shoes I can walk in. Hiking in SPDs is less than fun!
Two sets of bikewear - so bibshorts, shortsleeve tops, gloves and cycling socks.
I may have had a spare shirt, possibly, and a spare set of undies and socks.
A waterproof top, probably the Aldi sort that fold down to next to nothing.
Long sleeve cycling jacket, again the Aldi ones which are pretty lightweight,
Tablet and phone, which use the same charger.
Razor, comb, toothbrush. Lock.
I know I didn't take a fleece - it was colder than I'd expected, and I went and bought one in Manosque.
That little lot fitted easily in a Brompton T-Bag, and I washed things every other day (ish).
I did give serious thought to doing a Reacher and just taking a folding toothbrush, which could have stashed in the frame of the Brommie with my toolkit.
Here's what it looked like, all up. And I could have travelled indefinitely with this.
