Suggestions sought!</p> <p>Got a trip to Telford area for work in October and probably don't want the hassle of taking the usual bike on &amp; off trains en route, but would be very handy to be able to pedal the five or so miles between station, venue and - probably - miles between B&amp;B and venue. I haven't quite got to the folder-buying place (yet!) but was wondering about renting/borrowing one that would take my small panniers, thus both solving my transport frustration and having a proper shot at travel with tiny wheels. </p> <p>Is hire possible given I'd be taking it away for a few days, or would someone be willing to load (could perhaps leave my much-loved Surly for security or loan the Longitude in return...) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17285#post-239629 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 12:31:50 +0000 unhurt 239629@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Has anyone been to Albania? I have a few contacts who have travelled/worked there, and loved it, but I hear the driving is pretty terrifying, so I'm pondering the wisdom of going there with a bike (&amp; tent) next year... I know the roads are also a bit of a state, but the tourer takes pretty fat tyres, so okay on that front. </p> <p>Other options on the table include Finland - preferably at a season not filled with biting insects! And rather more expensive once there.</p> <p>To make things more interesting, in both cases I might try to get there without flying...</p> <p>Advice/opinions/suggestions/should I just go and ride round Iceland (wearing a midge suit)? </p>
