Moin

This is where I try to keep track of different things I do in preparation for my next bicycle tours. Which is mostly training and learning Danish. Sometimes planning and buying or sewing new gear.

You can read about my last tours here: 2019, 2020summer, 2022autumn , 2022, 2023, 2024

When I got back from my last tour, I photographed what was in each bag and pannier, so today my hip bag:

In here I had the water bladder, my bottle, business cards, the other glasses (that I was not wearing that day), bicycle lock keys, hair ribbon (after I bought some in Nykøbing), my wallet, lip balm, disinfectant wipes, paper tissues, stuff to put on mosquito bites, stuff to prevent mosquito and tick bites, sun-lotion. All things I will probably bring again, the only thing I would change is the anti-mosquito: This one was a lotion, so it was not really working well when sprayed on clothes, next time I will take a spray and not a lotion again…

The next weeks I will share what I had in my panniers, what I used, what not, what I will replace or add for the next tour, and what I will leave home next time. Do you have special requests, interests, wishes, what you would like to know about me or my gear? Please do not hesitate to ask! I will include it in my posts.

Disclaimer: I bought every piece of gear with my own money and also never received any money to write about them, the opinions are entirely my own.
