Next iteration on my frame bag. This one is actually two bags that are connected by one wooden strip. Also I added an inner liner and a padded perimeter. It feels like this is quite at the threshold of what a domestic sewing machine can handle.

Next project is making some handlebar roll and attachment.

Dites, la team #velo #velotaf
Je pense mettre sur mon Gravel des pédales semi-automatiques (un côté normal un côté auto) vous avez des références dans le genre ? Des conseils ?

Et dans la foulée vous conseillez quoi comme chaussures ?
Ça vaut le coup de prendre des un peu compatibles #BikePacking (avec lesquelles on peut marcher) ? Ou OSEF parce que en bikepacking je prends des chaussures normales ?

Merci pour vos retours 😊
Le repouet rend le coup de pédale plus efficace :)

Follow-up #camping #gear question!

Thanks again for the help. After some reflection on previous solo-camping with toddler I realise a key thing to yr round happiness is a better sleeping pad.

The high R-value ones we have are bulky. So I'm considering a strong somewhat "lightweight/compact" duo pad*.

Combined with a <2kg tent (Hubba 2p) I'm ok transporting this.

Any ideas / experiences with this setup?

Six weeks ago, I bicycled down from Grimsel Pass in the Swiss alps. I got completely carried away by the magnificent views. Almost down from Grimsel Pass, I suddenly had a flat tyre. I attributed it to the fact that the rims of my Brompton had gotten to hot from me pushing the breaks too long. After changing the inner tube, I continued up to Furka Pass.

Yesterday, I had a detailed look at the broken inner tube; funnily enough, it was OK. Any thoughts?

In the front is a folding bike with bags leaning towards guard rails of a mountain road. Behind, the picture shows plenty of U-turns of the road, first going down, and in the far end going up a mountain again.

I waited for years for this day to come, and it finally arrived on a Saturday morning. When I started thinking about cycling from Berlin to Oslo, all the way back in 2018, I always expected to feel something whenever I arrived in a new town.

But, as I cycled, I learned that crossing borders is when I feel more euphoric. Crossing from Sweden to Norway by bike was one of these moments.

Aerial view of a wide, dark blue river flowing between lush, green forested hills, with a high arched bridge spanning the water in the distance and scattered white houses along the shoreline under a cloudy blue sky.

Stone viaduct bridge with multiple arched spans, crossing a lush green valley, under a cloudy sky.

Standing stones in a grassy field with forest in the background, under an overcast sky.

A crowded harbor scene featuring numerous sailboats and small motorboats docked along wooden piers. The water reflects the boats and their masts, creating a rippled effect. A cloudy sky and buildings are visible in the background.

The rain kept coming down for most of my 95 km bike ride between Uddevalla and Strömstad, which is why I didn't take as many film pictures as I had earlier in the trip.

It was also the hilliest bike ride ever on my Strava until that point. You can tell you enjoy riding a bike when a day like that doesn't depress you.

Golden hour view of a harbor with two passenger ferries docked, reflecting sunlight on the water, and showing mooring hardware in the foreground.

A rural scene featuring a field of golden hay bales under a cloudy sky. The hay bales are cylindrical and scattered across the field, and there is a line of trees in the distance. The foreground has a patch of green grass.

Close-up view of Bronze Age rock carvings in Tanum featuring red-painted linear depictions of boats, figures, and circular symbols on a grey, mottled stone surface. The boats have complex geometric structures with crosshatch patterns, with some seemingly carrying figures on their decks. Additional figures and shapes, including circles and stylized human figures, are scattered around the boats.

I was concerned about the lack of bike lanes on my way to Uddevalla when I left Gothenburg. My experience in Sweden was so positive until that point that I remember being a bit anxious before I left the city.

I was right, too, since I rode on roads where cars and trucks were common. Not ideal, but I had to find a way.

Overcast sky with puffy white clouds over a calm body of water; a small white boat floats in the middle, with green hills in the distance and a bridge arching over the water.

Wooden pedestrian bridge extending over dark water with rocks along the shore, supported by cables and featuring lampposts, set against a backdrop of rocky cliffs and a cloudy sky.

Sign advertising “Jordgubbar” (Swedish for strawberries) with a large strawberry illustration in a rural setting with a plowed field and cloudy sky.

A dirt road leads towards a rural landscape under a blue sky with puffy clouds; a large orange, light-effected distortion obscures the middle distance, and an orange-edged light leak runs down the image's left side. A small red house with a white base sits in a grassy yard on the right.

Conclusion of my #retirement #bikepacking tour on #Brompton folding #bike : 1,027 km in 19 stages.Thank you for your patience. Thanks also to bikerouter.de and cyclers.app for routing.The daily post here was intended as incentive for all those over 65 with health issues—like myself—who do not yet dare to go on such long bike tours.

The bike ride from Varberg to Gothenburg was filled with some drama. Something bad only happened that one time, but I'm glad I didn't freak out and found a way out. I had to ride a third of the way on an axle because one of my pedals broke. It was shitty, but I survived.

I finally got to Gothenburg later than planned because of that, but it was great to be back there for the first time since 2013!

An asphalt road curves up a golden hillside towards a modern, hourglass-shaped observation tower under a blue sky with scattered clouds.

A low-angle shot of an iconic architectural structure featuring a geodesic dome with a tall, cylindrical tower topped by a white observation platform. The dome's surface is divided into triangular sections, suggesting a cellular construction. A long, bridge-like structure extends to the left. Lush green trees frame the bottom right, and a clear, blue sky serves as the backdrop.

View of a harbor with a large white passenger ferry in the foreground, a tall ship with multiple masts to the center-left, and cranes and city buildings in the background under a partly cloudy sky.

A cascading waterfall plunges down a rocky landscape between weathered brick buildings with multiple windows and a stone facade. Narrow steel bridges and walkways span the water, while a cafe sign is visible in the distance.

FINAL Day 19 of my #retirement #bikepacking tour on #Brompton folding #bike : Casalbordino -> San Salvo (the last 35 km - mostly on the fantastic cycle path "Via Verde della Costa dei Trabocchi" which stops here; further South there are only roads with heavy #traffic ).

When I woke up in Halmstad, I realized that the weather had changed and I might have to cycle in the rain on the third day of cycling from Copenhagen to Oslo. There were moments that it was so cloudy that the sky and the sea merged into one.

Still, I cycled a bit more than 100 km and saw many interesting things along the way.

A vintage dark green jet aircraft, nose painted black and yellow, mounted on a concrete pylon, facing the sky against a cloudy sky and green trees.

A white sailboat with two tall wooden masts and a historic red brick building with a tower reflected in calm water.

A symmetrical architectural composition featuring a yellow, ornate wooden building on stilts extending over water, accessed by a long wooden boardwalk with white railings. The building has a central, circular window and a dark, onion-domed structure on top.

I'm riding a #bikepacking race/holiday in October. Just learned the comms are all WhatsApp-based. I don't do Meta. So, what to do? #lazyweb
It's somewhat pathetic, but I do feel sometimes I miss out by refusing to use WhatsApp. Does anyone use a burner number service for such things? And/or say a Signal bridge service (Beeper?) to distance oneself from dealing with Meta direct? #privacy
