For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

On Friday it was about 31°C and high humidity, so I opted to shorten my route. (sopuli.xyz)

This "sauna" weather isn't the best for bikepacking, I had to take breaks pretty often. There is cherry season so you always find "reason" to stop for some "snack".

How do you get the bike up there and how is it locked in place?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

With my muscles and it isn't locked, you put front wheel on hook and rear wheel in the rack. It is secure only when you have the sweet spot of tire size- MTB doesn't fit and road bike moves too much. But I never had issues with this system.
