"In patriarchal societies where #masculinity is coded as #power and control, men often try to get closer to women through power and control. The range of how this plays out is vast. It could be inconsequential, or it could end a woman’s life. This (...) may also be a reason why so many women in the “Man or Bear” debate chose the bear."
I recommend every man to read this piece by long-distance #cyclist Laura Killingbeck.
Aus Zagreb wieder rauszufahren war bedeutend einfacher und entspannter als der Weg in die Stadt im gestrigen Stossverkehr. Zuerst durch das Labyrinth der Wohnviertel, dann etwas, das mit seinen Glashäusern und diversen Gewerbebauten an Simmering erinnert und dann auf einem vorbildlichen Radweg ins Umland. Ab hier ist es vorbei mit der radfahrerischen Anarchie, es kehrt wieder geordnetes Landleben ein. Gemütlich schlängelt sich der Weg durch die von der Save geformte Ebene und nachdem die keine Siedlungsformen vorgibt, finden sich die Häuser einfach irgendwo, d.h. meistens entlang der […]
Wenn ich die #Vennbahn bis Troisvierges fahre, bietet sich da ein weiterer (Fern-) Radweg in der Nähe an, den ich gut verknüpfen könnte?
Im Idealfall Richtung Norden/Nordwesten, der mich ungefähr auf hohe Ruhrgebiet bringt.
Nicht, dass ich noch ein paar tausend Kilometer vor mir habe auf der aktuellen Route, aber nach der Tour ist vor der Tour, oder so ^^ #radreise#fahrradbubble#bikepacking @fedibikes_de
@FraumitFahrrad@fedibikes_de ich würde sagen, Rur Radweg würde sich anbieten. Da müsstest du zwar ein Stück Vennbahn zurück radeln, aber dann führt dich Rur Radweg bis Hückelhoven / südlich Mönchengladbach und dann bist du schon halb im Ruhrgebiet.
je pars dans un mois pour un premier petit voyage #velo#bikepacking (250km autour du golfe du morbihan).
Et donc vous avez des recos de matos, des conseils ? j'avoue je pars à l'aventure...
D'ailleurs j'ai regardé rapidement chez D4 et il y a un petit budget en sacoches... Donc si tu es sur #rennes et que tu veux louer tes sacoches... ca pourrait m'intéresser ! :)
The last test and recent rides have been useful in the sense that I realized I simply can't have a backpack on my back for three weeks while trying to do long daily rides. I already occasionally suffer from shoulders being tense due to weight on the backpack while riding, so probably not a good idea for longs rides over many weeks.
So, new plan, don't buy a frame pack and instead buy a rear rack and a pannier which converts into a backpack, thus allowing leaving the backpack at home. Due to time being limited, options were limited to local shops, which basically meant a combo of Ortlieb's Quick Rack + Vario PS QL2.1 26L. The Quick Rack is simply amazing, literally can be attached and detached in seconds. The Vario PS is very functional. It does the job of being both a pannier and also a backpack. This is a difficult thing to achieve and given that Ortlieb have done a good job. However, it's somewhat ugly and uncomfortable actually wearing as a backpack. But hey, we're going riding, not walking, right?
This ride told me I do need another pannier, if I'm going to skip the frame pack and backpack, otherwise the single pannier is just going to have too much weight in it. Basic model panniers are available second hand quite well luckily so hopefully wont need to buy that one new.
Setting up the tent was really easy! At least without rain pouring down 😅 I do love the functionality of the MSR Hubba Hubba NX 2. Also got to test my Klymit inflatable sleeping pad and the super awesome FLEXTAILGEAR mini-pump, which also functions as a light for the tent. Really nice find.
So I’ve been planning to do a #gravel ride from Berlin to Budapest (or Vienna) this May, but after 5 days of partially offroad #bikepacking in Hungary I have some doubts whether I want another week of Eastern European Offroads :D Any suggestions for a long gravel or cyclepath-only, mostly nature route not too far from Berlin or Budapest? (Also somewhere not too hot:) #cycling#touring
@mariusor I know EV6 and riding it is on my bucket list, but I might want something that avoids bigger towns entirely. Something riverside might be a good idea..
Still in the works and expected to launch in Summer. I do really hope they reverse the system until then. Because having the closed fabric on top over the aero bars really would mess with many peoples configurations. Of bike computers, navigation devices, phone and light mounting and what have you.
I suggest they should have those single straps up top and the closed part down below the drybag - or come up with some other solution (maybe incorporate a hard mounting plate on top).
