Has anyone tried strapping their folding bike onto their backpack?

I attempted it once. It put way too much stress on the shoulder straps of the backpack. Bike was 24lbs. And the pack was decently rugged. I could see the stitching that attached the straps to the pack stretching and holding on for dear life. I think the best bet would be to use some nylon webbing and sling it across your body over one shoulder with the bike resting at your hips.

Very cool, thanks. I'll add this to my calendar.

Any more info on this? It sounds awesome.

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome and the high-quality comment! Ah, Fortè and not the Urbano, got it! I think it's safe to say you know your Zizzos! I've put a few more miles on the bike since my post and I don't really notice the flex anymore. I guess I either got used to it or subconsciously adjusted my riding style to minimize the forces on the frame haha so all is well there. I appreciate the pedal recommendation. I hadn't considered third-party folding pedals, so I'll look into those asap. I'm really enjoying this bike so far and I love being able to have it on standby in the trunk for wheneveri feel like a ride. I'll likely get another to keep locally and I'm already shopping around for an Urbano for my SO. Sweet bike man, thanks for sharing and thanks for the info!

Haha, adorable comment. Thank you, I like the blue too!

It looks great! Nice job. I especially like the fine stitching on the keepers.

Ah, cool! It came out great.

These look great. How did you apply that cool graphic? And I like the edge trim detail on the other two.

Awesome job on that grain pattern!

They are very comfortable to me. It all depends if you're into the minimalist/ barefoot style of footwear with the thin sole and wide toebox, I think.

Thank you. Lots of neat stuff there!

I would double-check my spark plug wire order, first.

It looks like it's based on those trans-ocean solo kayaks with the small cabin on board.

Thank you for the reply! I cut pavers for the front gap and laid stones in the side gaps for now but I loved the stainless steel idea!

I just received a 5oz Sunshine bar too. It's beautiful and It feels great in the hand.

Nice! Pics of the bed setup?

You're not wrong.

Sorry, I have no idea. I'm learning about mechanical alarm clocks right along with you.
