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.

Hi all, sorry for disappearing for a while, I lost access to my account. I'm hoping to spruce this place up a bit, so am looking to implement a banner and icon, but rather than just pick one myself, I thought I would get your opinions. If you have any photos you think would fit the bill post them here and after a week or so I will upload the most popular.

Open road is good. But maybe one going straight into the horizon would work better as a banner?

Yeah, i don't think this is the image, just an example. A smaller road or gravel road would also be nicer. I tried to take other photos but i think the weather was just too shit.

I was just thinking that pictures that are less specific, where people don't think 'well that doesn't look like my bike' would be good. I really liked the banner that was on the touring sub on reddit. At least on old.reddit, not sure if there was something else on new.

Icon is most important though anyway i think.
