Hooray for the Newark North Muskham Travelodge, which positively encouraged me to take my bike into my room the other night. The safest bike parking there is - depending on who you're sleeping with, I suppose.

What is real cycling?
It's not about lycra. It's not about racing, or saving the world, or crossing the Nullarbor Plain alone except for the film crew.
It's about the best way of commuting, shopping, sightseeing, socialising, partying, and generally just getting from A to B every day: by bike.

This blog was maintained daily from Jan 2009 to Sep 2010, and occasionally from then until 2013. My new blog, from Feb 2021, is at e2e.bike. It has hundreds of pages on cycle-touring across Britain, Ireland and the rest of the world.

I had the same experience at the Exeter Travelodge. They even moved me into the disabled room which had more space for it.
ReplyDeleteAnd when I checked in to the Ibis just behing Euston Station I brought my bike in with me. I They didn't bad an eyelid when I leant it up next to the desk.
ReplyDeleteWhat Travelodge and Ibis have in common is that they are modern, spartan hotels with fuss-free decoration, lifts and uncomplicated corridor layouts.
We stayed in Yorks Premier Lodge last year with a tandem. The bike shed was being used as laundry storage!
ReplyDeleteNot a problem though as they let us use a door behind the kitchen that was locked at night.
