Micael has commented that perhaps some of you don't know what we mean when we say that "we put the bikes in their bags...", so in this entry, I'll try to show you how it works:
Here is the bicycle "bagged"; it's about the size of a large suitcase and it weighs some 15kg; it isn't exactly easy to carry with a strap over the shoulder for a lond distance, but it fulfills the requirement of being a bag and not a bicycle, which is very handy when you have to take a bus, train or walk into a hotel.
Besides, as in the case of the hostel where we stayed in Málaga, when they were packed like that, they took a lot less space in our little room.
The bicycle is folded and we have removed the front wheel.
So, the first thing we do is to unfold it and make sure that it is properly locked (it would be very serious if it folded while we are going downhill!!!)
We then put on the front wheel, set the brakes and we are ready!
The whole thing takes some 5-10 minutes and it is definitely easier than trying to moor "Quest" in a marina!
