# 11 countries in 3 months on a New World Tourist

### “For my bike packing trip I needed something that I can carry easily and put on the airplane [...] a Bike Friday is what I needed. I think I have the perfect setup. I just used a regular backpack and was able to strap the bike easily to my back”


 

#### A Masters Track Championship experienced cyclist -- Veon has plenty of experience with various bike types and brands. We are lucky the Bike Friday New World Tourist was Veon’s bike of choice for his 3 month, 11 country trip through South America.



#### Veon's trip began by taking a plane to Cancun where he would begin his trip. His first stop was in Guatemala.

#### Before getting his New World Tourist, Veon toured on a 700c bike which had to be fully disassembled and tied together with a rope to carry on his back. Needless to say, the smaller footprint of the New World Tourist made traveling a breeze, whether packing inside a suitcase to fly to Cancun to begin his trip, folding up to stick inside a bus or lifting onto a pick up truck when hitching a ride in South America.

#### Despite the challenges he faced, including broken derailleurs, punctured tires and having to camp overnight at a local Salvadorian school - He always remembered to enjoy the incredible scenery around him and the friends he made on his New World Tourist.
