The Unfolding Countryside

Brompton Dock is a self-serve bicycle hire that uses folding bikes stored in dedicated lockers at several train stations throughout England (www.bromptondock.co.uk). Join, reserve, unfold, and ride!
 
 

My Brompton folded . . .


. . . and thirty seconds later!


I made it across town, remembered to stay on the left, and easily found the dedicated trails and national bicycle routes. The ride on this three-speed was surprisingly stable, comfortable, and fast.



Best of all, the bicycle opened up the countryside for me. I captured this photo of the Stour river only 2.5 miles from Canterbury--and only 100 yards from a pub!


Yes, a little rain this morning, adding to another perfect day.
