I Like Heavy Parts

We’ve always travelled with a full load of touring gear.

Multiple books. Food for a few days. Electronic gadgets. These are just some of the things that weigh us down.

Sometimes we feel a bit guilty about it. Maybe we should be trying harder to choose lighter things, and weed out all the non-essentials?

With this in mind, I had to laugh when I saw this sign in a bicycle workshop over the weekend. I think we’ll keep all our stuff!! What a great excuse for our slowness…
