I'm sure some of you cruising sailors carry a bicycle of some sort on your
boat ,, you do, right?

Where do you keep it? Do you break it down and stow it that way?

Yes - Bob got a folding bike for his birthday and it came with a bag
to stow it in folded. The first year I tried to ride it, but it is
just too big for me and can't be adjusted down. The second year he
had a regular bike, but it just got terribly rusty. He got a folding
bike for me second hand for about $25 and fixed it up and sewed a bag
for it too. We stowed them back by the dinghy (center cockpit boat).
They can actually be taken ashore in a dingy unless you have a kayak
or something.

It is still a pain to get them on and off the boat.

I think a bicyle and a sailboat are about the two best things in the whole
wide world; period.
