I went on a bike trip with panniers for the first time in April 2019, but it wasn’t until the year 2022 that I found my trips interesting enough to create a blog about my travels.

Even an average cyclist like me can have very strong experiences on a bike, whether positive or negative. In my case, the positive ones clearly prevail. In my opinion, the basic keys to success are thorough preparation, determination and, of course, a bit of luck.

I will be very happy if this blog motivates someone to pack up and ride a bike into the countryside for a few days. Ideally, after reading a few lines of text on my website, you say to yourself: “If he can do it, I can too.” And off you go.
