I finally received my NWT last month and you were absolutely right about the H-Bar: I love it and cannot imagine being without it. My hands and arms are thankful to you. I have bought your ebook, the "Bike Traveller's Blueprint". I am still in the process of reading it, but I can already vouch for the quality of the product. It's filled with "real information" and just like for the H-Bar, it just shows that you know what you are talking about. I'm sure it will help me work towards my goal of ever more exotic travel adventures on my bike. Thanks! Darren, thank you very much for your recommendation of getting the H-Bar for my NWT.

It all adds up. As for my thoughts on the trailer, read my full review of the Bike Friday here: http://bicycletouringpro.com/blog/ultimate-bike-friday-new-world-tourist-review/ My short answer is that I don't like the trailer and would not recommend it for any kind of trip over 5 or 10 miles. And yes, if I could re-order my bike I would get it with the H bars.

The New World Tourist's weight is listed as about 27 pounds. Is the suitcase 23 pounds?? Also, I see you used the convertible "trailer", but I dislike the idea of pulling this thing. Do you have experience with travelling only with the bike racks/bags? How would you compare the convenience/tradeoff of travelling with one solution or the other? I am in the process of buying a New World Tourist because I want to use it on my vacations in other countries. So I have exciting ideas of the fun this can be, but not much real experience yet :) Would you recommend the H-bar? Thanks for any info and for the articles, too.
