Only if I could get my act together and post what I’ve done on the Brompton my recent trip I would have a story to tell you all..
🇺🇸🚴 BROMPTON - promotion tour 🚴🇺🇸
In 2016, Heinz was given the latest Brompton model. He was sent on a promotional tour of the USA to raise awareness of the book *HOME IS ELSEWHERE* and, no doubt, the new model as well.
Unfortunately, only about 20 people turned up for a talk in Portland, but that didn’t stop him from answering questions for over two hours.
From there, he cycled to Salt Lake City. It could be one of his last cycling trips; in total, he has only cycled 5,000 km on that black Brompton and that at the age of 76.
One of his final wishes was for this Brompton folding bike to be auctioned off and for the proceeds to go to the ‘Heinz Stücke Archive’ association. The association was founded to digitise all 100,000 slides and much more.
He bequeathed his entire estate to the municipality of Hövelhof, and they would, of course, have to agree to the auction 🤞🤞🤞.
