On the way home from our Solstice Tour to Dalarna, Sweden. We boarded the train back to Stockholm in Smedjebacken. What a journey! We hardly saw any mid-summer weekend traffic on our route. Getting out into the country and later back was easy-peasy with our #Bromptons on the train. We overheard people talking about us as the "couple with the odd bikes". If they would only know about the odd pleasure we were having.

@kcposch Can you tell us about the Ortleib duffel and fitting it to a Brompton?

@jgordon I have an Ortlieb Duffle bag with 60 liters, olive-black. I hang the shoulder straps of the duffle bag over a home-made horizontal bar attached to the back of the saddle. I pull the bag to the luggage rack with a rubber bungee cord strap with hooks. Another such cord pulls the shoulder straps of the Duffle bag towards the seat post. This way, the duffle bag is stiffly fixed to the bicycle; it does not wobble.
