Since these great little vehicles are coming to the USA soon, you might like to show future BF owners that they don't need a large truck to carry bikes! Finally the day we have been waiting for since last November arrived - we folded the bikes and packed them into the back of our Smartcar and headed off up the Malahat to just north of Ladysmith where we parked and unloaded the bikes. |
 We were in a fairly public place so there was a substantial amount of traffic passing by, mostly SUVs and large pickups. Everyone was distracted by the sight of two people taking these strange looking bikes out of the back of a micro car but fortunately no-one drove into the ditch. |
 We had a great ride then fitted the bikes back into the car without any trouble. We are debating trying an overnighter. There wasn't a lot of room left for extra clothing, etc. but we think it can be done if we travel ultra-light. Our big trip starts at the end of June when we set off for Italy to tour Tuscany for 19 days! |
