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.

Short thread I wrote on Mastodon about the insanity of helping someone move from Zurich to Torino.

Don't want to mess with resizing pictures here so just crossposting it.

You legend. Did you leave behind the frozen corpses of many a good man?

Tbh if they didn't decide to break it up at the 2000m the corpse could have been me.

I'm not used to that high altitude so I really felt it.
