We’ve recently bought ourselves brand new touring bikes and
we’re absolutely delighted with ourselves!
Why did we need new bikes when we already have two each I hear you say?
Well, strictly speaking, we probably didn’t but I suppose it could be traced
back to the summer of 2012. We were
living in Daejeon (South Korea) and we only had one week to take for our summer
holidays. Not wanting to lose too much
of that time spent in airports etc. we decided we’d stay in Korea and that we’d
go to Jeju Island with our bikes.
The bikes we had at the time were far from touring
bikes. We got them free when we signed up
to a smart phone contract when we first arrived in Korea, but we weren’t put off! We didn’t have
panniers or anything like that and to be honest, I’m not sure if they even
crossed our minds. We just put what we
thought we’d need into our rucksacks and off we went!
