LONDON to PARIS I 50 years old bikes I Cycling 270km on rusty folding bike BikePacking I PARIS 2024
Here is our short story, we bought two rusty bikes. We rode them from London St.Pancras to Paris. It was a big challenge. Enjoy watching our adventure. Best Regards @BARN2ROAD
That was excellent gents! I was amazed at the speeds you got going downhill. I have a bike from 1997 with the same dubious caliper brakes, so hats off to you. Did you spruce them up at all? I hadnt considered a three speed for bike packing, but you smashed it. Nice 🙂
Great effort guys! I’ve got several 20s and they are heavy and slow, especially on the original tyres. I’ve also ridden that route on a touring bike, and definitely not easy on a stowaway 😅
Hahaha, what an awesome trip! Many thanks for sharing. This brings me happy memories of my years in Dublin, I used to go to work on a bike quite similar to those, also with backpacks to carry all the stuff. But, in the end, I also used that bike for trips around Dublin and Cork. A lovely bike I still miss a lot!
Fab video. Lovely photos you have too. We had a stowaway and it was so comfy to ride. Proof you don't need the latest bike to do this trip – it's about doing the journey and the memories you make.

Huge respect Guys🔝💪🏻Nice video 🎉😉
Nice to see you again)
Brilliant effort dudes, turning up to the Eiffel Tower with white walls on is as class as 007.
I wonder if that spare wheel was ever used 😁 Love the tour! 😍
Riding between rows of cars at traffic lights, bad practice, tut tut naughty.
Great video
