You know that when you get puncture after puncture its time to change the tire. Unfortunately I only found 40mm one, going from 45mm I feel like a roadie ;-) Sometimes I got some roadside "help" with the fix from "bystanders"... Also the repair stations are nice, if they have tools or aren't damaged in other ways. Poland had bunch of them but missing so much stuff or broken down that they were unusable. #biketooter #bikepacking #biketouring

I have to say that #Sweden is great. Not too much people, wild camping allowed (with some rules), you can use quite spacious shelters and you never know what might surprise you (like someone starting steam train when you just take shortcut). For #bikepacking or #biketouring it is great summer destination, not too hot or too cold and usually nice bike paths. #biketooter

'In the early 1960s, young Heinz Stücke, just 22 years old, left his factory job and rode away from his hometown of Hövelhof in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, aboard his three-speed bicycle with $300 in his pocket. He would go on to pedal some 648,000 kilometers through 211 countries and territories on a non-stop journey that spanned more than five decades. He was recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as “having traveled more widely by bicycle than anyone in history,” was the subject of a feature-length documentary called The Man Who Wanted to See It All, and was profiled in the 12th issue of The Bikepacking Journal, to name just a few ways the inspiring figure’s legacy was recorded.' https://bikepacking.com/news/rest-in-peace-heinz-stucke/ #biketooter#biketouring#bikepacking#worldtravel#fahrrad#HeinzStucke

Tell me again why the flying is sooo good. I can stretch my legs by quick walk around the ship, get some fresh air, WiFi that works and prices at the bar here are similar to restaurants I have seen and visited on land. Just the landscape is quite boring. #boat #bikepacking #biketouring

Looking at two bike route maps with graphs showing elevation change. One looks far easier than the other, unless you notice the scale difference on the elevation part 🧐🤓 The real difference a few characters can make... (From Ride with GPS) #biking #biketouring
