Is it anything like The States, where a bicycle has to be checked baggage. but a folder does not?

I hasten to add that in some corridors, like the Midwest, bicycles can be carried on trains without baggage facilities, but often these arrangements have to be booked in advance. Here the whole rules canon:https://www.amtrak.com/bring-your-bicycle-onboard

We've been lucky as a few have headed our way this summer then changed direction. I have tape for the windows at the ready.

Ah, fond memories, I remember taping the windows in typhoon season and making sure tall furniture was secured against the wall.We've been lucky as a few have headed our way this summer then changed direction. I have tape for the windows at the ready.

Why? I have a Brompton and Tern and much prefer the Brompton. The Tern was got for going to hospital appointments in Oban as it is about a mile from the ferry terminal and it would be no great loss if pinched or damaged.

The way my apartment is designed, I cannot place furniture near any of the windows.

I could give it a go with the bike idea, l wonder if my Cathay Pacific frequent flyer club membership is still valid...l've still got my members pass etc.
I feel a Tai O to Tung Chung ride coming on. That'll wake your legs up.

Well, that's a replacement NOS power pack / charger thingy bought for the Vaio. Didn't bother getting one with a mains cable, as I have two cables as it is.
Now doing a quick bit of research on the laptop that I'm looking at getting - Lenovo 430 Think Pad. A mate bought one a couple of months ago and he's really pleased with it.
Downside is it's a 14 inch screen rather than the 15 inch that I'm used to, but there's nothing with a similar spec AND a 15 inch screen in budget. Other question is do I go for a 256 Gb ssd and 8 Gb RAM or a 240 Gb ssd and 16 Gb RAM. The latter is 40 squid more. I'm angling towards the bigger hard drive.
FYI, this VAIO only has 1 Gb RAM and a 120 Gb hdd...
The bigger the better.

The parts seem more standard, less specialised like the Brompton, so I'll able to get them locally if something needs replacing. Also they're a lot cheaper: I don't want to make long journeys on it, just go to the station when it rains.
