How u hang the speaker to your bike?

Sent from Xiaomi MI 4I using GAGT

Below got a hole for tripod base plate mounting ...and I have a handle bar camera mount that I used to attach cameras to the bike last time. Just screw the base plate to the hole then can attach it to the bikes...currently I clip it onto the seatpost under the saddle.

Pic of the baseplate attached to the speaker.

The speaker also comes with a strap so can use it to hang or hook it onto the bike with a small carabiner. I use to hook my Philips MP3player/speaker onto the saddle rails this way.

Had thought of speakers that uses the waterbottle holder...but my MTB only have 1 single mounting for water bottle holder. Got music no water, got water no music.

My Tern in MRT station:

My Brompton...

I normally won't bring my Tern up the train unless some emergency occurred e.g. rain, puncture tyre, etc.

I frequently bring my Brompton up.. about 50% of the time.

Nope. I hardly take public transport.

Still can. The handlebar bag is a nice accessories to have but not practical. Gonna change the closing method, add a buckle. Also make it smaller. A tad bit too big. But my 4/3 camera fit into the bag!

Install luggage Truss and get an Ortlieb bag or Biologic Tour Bag. The Tour bag is big enough for me to put my iPad mini, bluetooth keyboard, charger, power-bank, a set of clothes, extra flashlight + batteries and even 2 books. Can put up to 7kg in load.

This is my Biologic tour bag mounted onto the luggage truss of my Tern via klickfix adapter.

And because the bag is mounted on the frame directly and not the handlebar/handlepost, it will not affect bike control/steering.

You will appreciate Tern/Dahon luggage mountings if you ever need to carry some load on your bicycle.

I was thinking of that. Not decided yet. Will probably get the panniers. Am also looking at the Revelate bags. I need to put tent and sleeping bag. Don't need it just yet.

Touring mode spotted...

There are racks and panniers for Tern. Should be applicable to Dahon as well.

Anyone knows of a decent foldable bike that is suitable for casual riding for middle aged people? Normally which brand is good for these and what are the price range?

Pretty interesting. Saw the mention of manually putting it to the gear you want should you completely run out of battery.

Wonder how that works...
