Biking is always a great way to explore a place. This time Beirut. The city and country have been on my bucket list for decades and finally we go there the whole family. It’s in the Middle East and the cradle of civilization. Unfortunately, also in the middle of conflicts. And back in 2020, also […]
It’s Sunday and the day after the hills in the Ardennes. I wanted to go for yet another spin, but an easy one so I asked the kind owners of the hotel and of course… There was a bike to borrow. Not fancy at all but it had two wheels. I left Ghent thinking of […]
I’m not a hard-core Road Biker so I wouldn’t know, but I get the feeling that Oudenaarde, in the Flemish Ardennes, is something like Whistler for dedicated Mountain bikers. I’m here with Mathias who has done the real Tour of Flanders – De Ronde Van Flaanderen. The race is more than 100 years old and […]
I have the pleasure of having been here many times, but this is the first time on a bike. Rental city bike, but still… We cross the bridge over The Danube and head for the Southern part of the city. We enter Petržalka, in the past known as the “Bronx of Bratislava” because of the […]
Oh is it good being back in Romania! We’re in Razvans place in Câmpulung. Nicely decorated as always Razvan has arranged two Cube Stereo ebikes. I have never really tried ebikes in the mountains, so this is going to be fun! We head off for the trails in Ciocan But start in his wife’s grandmothers […]
Biking in new places is always nice. Doesn’t matter that much what terrain, place or country. It’s just the nicest way to get the hang of a new place and discover something new. Going to Kalmar I of course bring the bike. And now back on the X2 shock. It’s just sooooo good. Doesn’t matter […]
I’m in Gent for work and use the weekend to explore the area and to meet an old friend Gent = biking. Sort of. There are bikes everywhere and in every shape you can imagine Saturday: On a rented city bike I rent a regular city bike and recon I go for a short ride. […]
Hauke is based in Gdynia for some time and has talked about the great riding in the hills just outside the city. So why not? Janne and I go for a visit. Direct overnight ferry from Karlskrona – super convenient Day 1. Getting to know the forests around Gdynia Rain has never stopped us before […]
Janne at Sundtorps cykel wanted to try a coil over on his Orbea and the length happens to be exactly the same as on my Ibis Ripmo, so I ordered a spring for my weight hoping I could try it too. And as things turned out I was first out – the X2 being in […]
I alway say the there is an adventure around every corner, and there is. Being here for work and staying at the Brownsover Hall I suddenly have the evening to myself. Could there be a bike that I could borrow? I ask around and a guy in the kitchen is very generous and let me […]
