      thanks for the links Simon! I see you’re a mod of bikepacking, nice! it’s funny… I bike commute to work, which I enjoy but i don’t dream of traveling by bike because I find myself having anxiety about being dependent on the additional gear related to the bicycle. Is this anxiety common in the bikepacking world?

        You’re very welcome! As for traveling by bike I just finished a ride from the top of Sweden to the bottom and except for a used up tire, I didn’t have a single mechanical problem. So as long as you make sure to start your trip with a well serviced bike you rarely risk anything, I’d say.

        Of course that depends on where you are going though - I wouldn’t go out on a three month trip in the deepest of Alaska without a good set of redundant gear, but traveling in Europe is no problem at all.

              nice trip report! i think it would really benefit by the inclusion of a map of your route, do you have one?

                  That is terrific, thanks! It loads a bit slow as it’s 2MB. Try saving it as a .webp, it’ll be much faster! Looking at it now…

                I’ll add it as soon as my data export from Garmin is done processing. I had three alternatives for the route when I left Malmo, but ended up making the next day’s route day-to-day basically. It was easier that way, given changes in weather, amount of food etc.
