Many people who do #BikeTouring with the #Brompton take their folded bike into grocery stores, at least while on tour to not have to leave anything outside. Last time I was doing a multiday tour¹, I was wondering if using a bicycle trailer would make things easier or worse. I recently saw a nice video of #IBikeUnfolded: He takes his bicycle trailer and bike into stores (explanation starts at 6m18s):

Not long after leaving Taourirt, we noticed a car following us again. It was almost funny how they tried to make it seem like they weren’t—driving slowly behind us, then stopping to let us gain some distance, only to start following us again. It was the police. I heard that in this region, it’s quite common for them to keep an eye on travelers.
Dark clouds surrounded us, and in the distance, we could see freshly fallen snow on the mountains ahead—a breathtaking sight against this arid desert landscape.
At the next gas station, we stopped for a tea break and noticed that the car following us suddenly turned around and left—probably because we had exited their area. Exhausted from cycling against the wind, we looked for a place to rest but found none, so we decided to keep going.
The storm seemed to be moving in and daylight was fading, we reached a crossroads where we would turn toward Midelt and the mountains. We stopped at a small roadside restaurant for tea and food and asked the owners if we could camp in their garden. They were very kind and welcomed us to stay.
Soon, a different policeman arrived. He was very friendly and asked if we needed anything. When we told him we planned to sleep in the garden, he instead arranged for us to sleep inside the restaurant. He even gave us his phone number in case we needed anything during the night.
We drank more tea and waited for the restaurant to close. Once it did, we set up our sleeping spot on the first floor, grateful for the warmth and shelter.

Nearly finished planning a couple of weeks cycle touring in Ireland. Really looking forward to the trip. Leave is booked for the last two weeks in May. I was lucky at this time last year with sunshine and blue skies pretty much everyday riding from Kent to Orkney via Cape Wrath. Whatever the weather it's going to be an adventure.

If you have any recommendations or tips to share about the route please do.

After the hard work of cycling through the wind, a well-deserved meal! #cycletouring #cycling #wanderer #exploring #bicycle #bicycletouring #adventurecycling #cyclinglife #cyclingnomads #traveldiaries #biketouringforever #pedalpower #travelstories #travelbybike #bikewander #bikelife #biketouring #fromwhereiride #worldbycyclingù #worldbybike #pedaljourneys #humanpoweredadventures #neverstopexploring #biketocamp #worldbycycling #BikeTooter #biketouringmike

Three days of sailing against the wind today it should be better. With my bags being effectively sails it is really hard, even downhill I had to pedal to not stop on the spot. I had average speed about 10kph.

Worst part is that it was pretty smooth road without cars. And what piss me most is my cycling computer saying that I slack off when it calculates its "performance index". There isn't any setting for heavy bike, when I tried to put there 30kg it was invalid entry.

So my plan to get inland to avoid the wind failed.

So, I never did a proper #introduction because I am not in to those things, but after browsing the hashtag for few days I decided that maybe this is the time to make my own post.

So I am guy in 20's and mainly interested in #homebrewing #brewing and #cycling

More specifically I started brewing my own #beer when I was 15, because it was the easiest way to get alcohol at that time. It became my hobby, I moved to #cider only because I couldn't get decent one in store. And after that I worked in #craftbeer brewery.

As for #cycling I am interested in #bikepacking #biketouring #commuterbike and more of a utilitarian cycling. Right now I am touring through Europe on my bike and because I don't have anything other to do I will be doing that for about 6 months.

Sometimes I post in Czech, sometimes in English and I also repost from #lemmy where I moderate @homebrewing

It's cold here so in few days I will be getting to the coast and then to the Marco probably. Now I am in Albarracín, so for the last few days I was riding 1000m+ above sea level.

Day temperature is nice 15-18°C but night temperatures goes to -6°C.

Looking for Blogs/Feeds to follow; does anyone have any recommendation?

Topics: #cycling, #permacomputing, #camping, #bikepacking, #biketouring , #journaling, #renovation, #crafting, #indiedev or anything adjacent.

Preferable they shouldn't be trying to advertise or sell me a product. But not strict requirement.

1-3 posts a week max.

Mostly looking for independent- or collectives doing something.

I'll share a few below!
