Should every sailboat have a bicycle? Maybe not if it’s a racing yacht or if your superyacht already has its own helicopter, but for cruisers, we reckon a bicycle on a sailboat does amazing things. Filmed before the lockdown and Movement Restriction Order came into effect on Borneo, having bikes is proving to be pretty useful…
Folding bikes don’t take up much space and can be tucked away when you’re on passage. And when you’re in an anchorage or marina take it ashore and have it ready to use any time you like. Get away, explore, do the shopping. And get some exercise!
“One of the most important days of my life, was when I learned to ride a bicycle.” —
Michael Palin, traveller, adventurer, original Python.
“Meet the future; the future mode of transportation for this weary Western world. Now I’m not gonna make a lot of extravagant claims for this little machine. Sure, it’ll change your whole life for the better, but that’s all.” — Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 1969
