Bike Check: Kepler in Touring Mode

Got these snaps of Kepler just as I arrived home from my 3 week tour of Italy and Slovenia, moments before I stepped through my front door and the adventure ended. Sad times! It was a great end to the trip though – I’d landed at Stansted and faced either a £70 taxi journey or 3 hours of lugging my boxed bike and bags on trains and buses to get home. Instead, I built Kepler up again outside the airport and enjoyed a sunny ride back through the Essex countryside, with the skyscrapers of London growing larger as I neared my house. A fitting end to a fantastic trip.
