Okay, that is simultaneously cool and bonkers. My hat’s off to the man.

“But after three punctures to his back wheel he had to finish the challenge on the descent 50 miles (80km) short of Nice.”
This has been my worry about biking a significant distance with brompton. For me personally, I get more flats on my brompton than my other bikes and local bike shops don’t carry brompton tubes. I’m guessing this guy only brought 3 tubes with him and had to abandon. For this ride, I would have brought over 5 tubes.
Also kudos to this guy for climbing the alps with this bike. Wild.
