This blog started more than twenty years ago with our 2004 trip to the United Stated and Canada. This holiday was a turning point in our lives – we came back knowing that we needed to get fitter. It was, in some ways, the true genesis of our riding life and ultimately our life and travels with Brompton Bikes.

As I looked back over our first blog, I recall what it was like trying to blog without an iPhone. We had to rush into local internet hotspots in libraries and such. The big issue was whether we could even get the photos off our camera to upload. There were plenty of promises to upload photos later. 20 years later, I have now uploaded the missing photos and corrected some spelling mistakes! If you are interested, you can revisit our 2004 holiday. See our 33-year-old selves by following this link > https://bromptoneering.blog/category/bromptoneering-or-bust/2004-usa/?order=asc

Since the first post about our itinerary in 2004, we posted 979 other posts (including this one) from all over the world. Our first trip had a total of 54 posts.

In 2025 and beyond we will continue with our travel blogging. We are, however, going to add some posts about riding in Adelaide both with and without Brompton Bikes. So if you have already subscribed to this blog you will receive all of the posts. If you would like to change that, visit the blog site. You can select the sort of posts you want to get.
