Had he spent a little more time checking out his bike, he would have noticed that his tires needed a little air. It is funny just the same.

His love for cycling will be included in all of his travels in the world to help those less fortunate in society. Keep him in your prayers and I know that he's in God's hands but it's good to know he has such a reliable and dependable bike.

That's what Colin & Julie Angus are doing. When rowing, Colin will stow the Swissbike LX in a watertight compartment on the rowboat. When he needs to portage, he'll pull out the SwissBike LX, unfold it, attach the bike to a trailer, lash the boat to the trailer and pedal away.

]]> Comment on Car Free Getaway in Napa Valley by Alicia http://www.montaguebikes.com/folding-bikes-blog/2008/01/car-free-gettaway-in-napa-valley/comment-page-1/#comment-9 Alicia Thu, 10 Jan 2008 19:40:27 +0000 http://site.swissbike.com/blog/2008/01/08/car-free-gettaway-in-napa-valley/#comment-9 Thanks for reminding people that Napa Valley is a great place to ride. Much better than driving. My husband and I are long time Montague bike owners and recently did a trip with our bikes to Napa. I'd like to add two more places people should really check out. One is V.Sattui Winery, its a great place to stop and have lunch. Not only do they have wine but they have a great deli and cheese shop and they have picnic tables where you can sit and enjoy the great food, wine and scenery! We also loved the tram ride at Sterling Vineyards, its a little pricey$20.00 but you can get a discount by going to their website and its well worth the price to see an amazing view of the valley.

I took the Amtrak Cascades train from Seattle to Portland, rode with a friend in his RV to Anacortes, took the ferry to Vancouver Island and the fast ferry back to Seattle, flew from Seattle to Dallas & drove from Dallas to New Orleans. The entire time, I had my full size Montague folding bike and soft case carry bag with me. Sometimes, I used the carry bag; other times I didn't. Without it or the Montague folding bike, this fabulous trip would not have been possible. Despite being transported so many different ways, being stored in the carry bag and being handled by airline baggage handlers, the bike was not damaged in any way (photos are up on my site to prove it too). Nice going, Montague. Mating a Montague full size folding bike like the SwissBike LX with the new SwissBike soft case makes perfect sense for traveling.
