Important piece by Josh Meissner about how #Komoot betrayed the commons and what the bikepacking community must learn from it.

I've seen a bunch of bike packing videos with people holding a bike tube up to their ear or using water, trying to find location of a leak. In Yvette Kooijman's latest video her partner used something entirely unexpected.

Just a small container with styrofoam beads above wire mesh and a clear plastic top.

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?

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.
A large pile of dark grey, lichen-covered boulders in a natural setting with green evergreen trees in the background under an overcast sky.
