    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?

            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.

              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…

                    Ah no this is the outcome, ie. what I actually rode. The planned route was adapted along the way, yes
