      A lovely scenic journey along the coast👍
      The cycling infrastructure in Portugal looks very good..you found some great cycle paths.

      Another great adventure Gianni. Curious question or two, do you just lock the brompton when you visit attractions and what/or how do you pack it when flying?Is the Eurovelo marked on maps or just follow road signs? Love the soundtrack how it matches the footage 🙂

      Very nice Video with perfect music. I really admire your endurance because as a Brompton owner/driver i know that it is not much fun to ride on most gravel roads/ways. Cheers from Germany

      Hi Gianni, I watched a lot of your videos and also bought your book and am now reading it, I thank you for your work and for helping other people with tips on how to travel better by bike. I bought two bromptons for myself and my son, now I'm collecting information about things to take with me.

      What worries me the most right now is the weight of things, I saw a mention in your video that your front bag weighs 6.5 kg and your back bag weighs 6 kg, could you clarify whether this is the weight of the bags themselves? I am also interested in the black bag that you advised on Amazon to protect the bike during flights, I looked at the weight on Amazon and it is 1 kg or is it really so? also the front bag of brompton weighs 1.3 kg, which is also quite a lot of weight, the backpack itself is another 1 kg.

      in your video you showed the weight of a big black bag with brompton and things 22.6kg, to this weight you need to add the weight of the hand luggage bag that you take with you on the plane your backpack exped? correctly I understand the total weight will be 22.6kg + 6kg backpack exped?

      Aw Gianni, this is so beautiful! such a lovely film, with a gorgeous soundtrack. I loved it the bit with the "there's a lot of colours" song. I think your films make a lot of people – including me – dream and feel happy 😎🚲⛺🌞

      Gianni, I love your videos. I love the way you journal your trips, beautiful and interesting views, scenery. The music selection (and volume) are well planned and presented. In this particular video, I love the clips of the ocean and waves, showing the curls. I didn’t realize Portugal 🇵🇹 was so incredibly. Watching these (all your videos, in fact), make me feel so envious. I love my Brompton, and would love to do some touring, but my cycling days have "slowed down" as I have gotten older (75). By reading your books and watching your videos, I know we think very much alike, too bad we don’t live closer, it would be fun touring with you. Thanks for the great videos, they really do take me back to some of my earlier touring days.

      Hello Gianni, thanks for this beautiful trip to Portugal, I enjoyed the video a lot, I hope you plan to do more in 2022 and beyond, I congratulate you for the images and the background music you choose, greetings and even the next trip, may everything go well for you 😊💫✨☘️.

      So pleasant to watch. Thank you for sharing your joy. I am finally going to Bali next month but still haven’t been able to decide on what bags to use and how to secure them to my Brompton. In the US, it’s hard to find good bags for Brompton. I recently replaced my handle bar grips with the ergo type and the seat with a Brooks seat. The difference is amazing. It’s less tiring to ride and is safer.

      Very good video, I'm Portuguese, and I know most of the places you've traveled. You passed in front of my house, minute 17:03 of the video. I also have brompton, and I love it. Thank you for portraying my country so well.

      Espetacular! O teu vídeo está feito com muito bom gosto. Adorava poder fazer isso, mas tenho um pouco de receio derivado a sofrer de um certo nível de cegueira permanente. Tenho o equipamento todo, mas não tenho coragem é uma visão a 100% apurada, que seria o mais importante. Obrigado por este vídeo magnífico! Muita saúde para muitos mais vídeos destes!

      Hello Gianni
      I love this video. I am planning to do my FIRST EVER bike packing tour in October 2022. My plan is to do this same route in reverse: from O'Guardia, Spain to Faro, Portugal on the EuroVelo 1. [Was the trail well-marked?]
      This is a huge event for me as I will finally be doing something I have talked and dreamed about for decades. I will be doing the tour on my Brompton Electric. I am retired and allowing the entire month of October to do the tour. ANY advice, suggestions, insights, whatever that you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Maria Belton

      How were the winds? Friends to me that there are strong headwinds if you travel south to north.
      Also, how did you get your Brompton to and from Portugal?
      Sorry for all the questions……nervous and excited first time bike packer

    36. mbelton74 on

      Hello Gianni
      You've biked the world on a Brompton. How would you feel doing this ride, or some of your others, on a Brompton titanium or Brompton p line? Would you think one or the other sturdy enough?
      thanks

      Beautiful footage, but my balls hurt just from watching you ride on those uneven surfaces. How did the Brompton handle all of those unpaved surfaces?
