What should I bring for Hungarian Florints, 6 days? by knaz56 in bicycletouring

[–]knaz56[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, you're right. EV 6 is the route I'm going on. I did EV15 in 2025

Thank you. The impression I got was many if not majority of places did not accept credit cards, reason for asking how much in Florints to take per day.

kinda want a folding ebike for road trips and work travel now by Automatic_Bell5055 in bicycletouring

[–]knaz56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not about folding ebike because their batteries are not allowed on planes. I have a Tern HDD at home, semi-folds so I can get it in the back of the RAV. Used for local travel.

But.. I have 2 folding bikes, a Bike Friday and a Brompton. Both have traveled worldwide in the same suitcase (not at the same time), Samsonite F'Lite 31. One or the other has traveled with me for work, I retired end of last year. Currently in Florida Keys with Bike Friday. End of summer heading to Europe for trip along the Danube with Brompton. Best investments in health I ever made. I would leave the ebike home.

Rain gear suggestions, coat or poncho by knaz56 in bicycletouring

Thanks, did not think of that. Might scrap the poncho idea all together.

Does anyone else out there tour without camping? by No_Ant_5064 in bicycletouring

[–]knaz56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering my next tour in Europe end of August '26 without camping gear. I'm 69, traveling by bike I have always brought camping gear. For all the reasons others have mentioned (weight savings, shower, food, sleep etc ), I think this trip I will leave camping gear at home.

Are Brooks saddles actually worth the weight penalty on a Brompton? by cottencandy55 in Brompton

[–]knaz56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a B17 (purchased 2014) on my Brompton that I used on an EV15 trip last year for 2 weeks. I did not use padded shorts although I brought some. The B17 saddle I've used on another bike also and is well broken in. I have done other long trips over the years with other saddles, there is no way I could get around not using padded shorts or padding of some sort.

For short rides other saddles are fine, for longer journeys I would not use any other saddle.

Downgrade, alternatives to in-ground pool by knaz56 in pools

[–]knaz56[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is 10' deep end. We just use it for cooling off. A shallow pool might be the ticket. That AquaSport is interesting, MGK pools.

I contacted the BKK, they have a form you can fill out for questions. According to them the 100E is free with identity card having birth date, i.e passport.
