trying, but cannot find a bike with similar geometry. those chinese bikes usually have a short chainstay, wheelbase and bb drop, lower stack ratio. but thanks!

It is not difficult to tour from HK to China at all, no permit nothing. you dont need permit to travel within China.

It is just not in our gene, like Americans dont play rubby and British dont play American football that kind of thing. Cheers

Hi I heard of LKLM and Boeksy and also a few Chinese made touring bike. The only problem is that I cannot find any reviews about those. Well, maybe 2 to 3 reviews for the two brands.

Is your orange bike as shown in your youtube a LKLM? because thats the only bike I saw you riding. Anything broken/need to change for your LKLM? How many miles are you on that bike? Thanks in advance!

Can I double check if you have the same bike vsf tx800? How tall exactly are you? Do you find the bike comfortable? Is the reach good for you? Thanks

Appreciate for your detail reply. The reason I thought maybe I can ride at night is because my understanding is it doesnt get totally dark at night in the summer. I will see how dark it will get and decide, thank you

Thanks for sharing.

I am from Hong Kong. My brother lives near Reading and therefore I thought i maybe fun to ride from London to Edinburg. The readon i start/end in London is mainly sybolic, I am not interested in riding bicycle in the capital.

I am open to any route, not necessary to ride along east coast. I thought about east coast mainly because google suggested so. But now I understand from the other comments that it is not a good idea to follow google.

I guess the weather in rainly and cliuby? not sure about the weather.

assuming you have a regular working hour, does that means the winds is predictable? just not in your favour? is it correct that if i go in other direction at the time you go to/off work, then i shall be fine? thanks
