A real B-Double!

Interesting philosophy regards 'PT' on the website, I'm not sure that I could extract myself from all the societal entanglements to achieve it.

Not unusual. There is a great newspaper story from pre-Internet days of a guy who road around the north-west with one serious load on trailers. Seen the newspaper clippings but cannot find anything online, but did find this image of others.

.....and another one. Joff Summerfield - in Tibet! On a world tour!

I build and sell penny farthing bicycles at my own workshop in east London. If I had the funds, I would set off travelling again tomorrow. But it would have to be on a penny. I couldn't do anything else. I'd feel like I was leaving a part of me at home. It is like my wife.

I remember that guy - the Electronic Nomad or something. I seem to recall it was the 80s though, and as he lists in the equipment a coordless phone, cellular phone, Canon bubblejet printer, and CD player I'd say that would be more accurate (none of these were about in the 70s to my knowledge).

All that gear and he probably had the processing power and apps of the average smart phone....... maybe

It was the 80s AFAICR. Freewheeeling(?) magazine I think did an article on him. I have it somewhere stashed away in the shed. I just have to move the SS then the MTB and the golf clubs before I go through 40 years of magazines to find it. Keep talking among yourselves and I'll be right back....

I read that PT explanation. I think you might have trouble with mental health services before societal entanglements...

But that 80s gadget bike is unreal, if only I was a complete and un-attached nerd I would build my own crazy machine!!
