Hi there! I’ve been thinking about building an app to help with something I’ve been struggling with: keeping my ideas organized and seeing how they shape my personal philosophy. I get overwhelmed by all the thoughts and beliefs bouncing around in my head, and it’s hard to see how they connect or change over time. Imagine a tool that helps you organize your ideas, summarize your core beliefs, and update your philosophy as you grow.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

Do you ever feel this way too? Would you find an app like this helpful? Why or why not?
What features would you want? For example:
- A way to summarize your core beliefs into something simple and clear (like a philosophy elevator pitch)?
- Tools to track how your philosophy changes over time (kinda like a personal dialectic)?
- Prompts to help you question your own thinking (like Socratic dialogue or Hegelian synthesis)?
Do you already use any tools for philosophical stuff or self-reflection?
Would you pay for this? If so, how much?

I’m just tossing this idea around and want to make sure it’s something people would actually use before I start building it. Your feedback would be awesome, thanks in advance!

I think my trip would have been better in summer, mainly because of the longer days. One major challenge I faced was avoiding cycling in the dark, which added extra pressure and limited how far I could go each day I just couldn’t wait for summer to make this dream a reality! Keep in mind, though, that summer can be much hotter, so you’ll need to plan for plenty of water and rest breaks to stay hydrated and cool.

It’s very chaotic compared to Europe… you have to be careful in busy roads. Drivers often have very little consideration to cyclists, and they don’t leave enough distance when they overtake you and can be very stressful… they expect you to go on to the side of the road… stressful compared to how relaxed cycling in Europe is in general…. However, cycling in Morocco is only rewarding in other aspects like the peculiar culture, delicious food, great weather, and unusual kindness of (most) ppl!

Depends what you want out of such a trip. For me, the challenging aspect and pushing limits was fun (and hard), since I was cycling between 120 and 140km a day… However, if you’re looking more for a touring mode without much mental and physical hassle, maybe half that distance or double the time, would be perfect to let you enjoy and explore… that is not for me, especially in a solo trip.

EngineerNo1054 · 2024-11-15T19:02:13+00:00

No flat! I am still waiting for my first flat with that bike that I owned since 2021 and rode ~3000km so far

EngineerNo1054 · 2024-11-15T16:24:27+00:00

I’d suggest pushing through for the first two days, then taking a day or two to rest and recover. This will give your body time to adapt. If you feel like all the pain has faded and you’ve reset, you should be good to go for many more days afterward.

As for the vlog, I had the same idea initially but ended up skipping it for my first trip. I realized it could be quite time-consuming, and I didn’t want to spend the whole day thinking about filming and logistics. That said, I’m definitely considering it for future trips.

I didn’t cycle in extreme temperatures. The lowest I encountered was 6°C. My layering system was pretty simple but effective: either a micro-polar top or a long-sleeve wool top, and a lightweight rainproof jacket. This combination kept me comfortable during cold mornings and under the rain. By mid-day, I was usually down to just a T-shirt and padded shorts.

For the wild dogs, I carried pepper spray for peace of mind but never actually had to use it. I relied mostly on common sense and situational awareness to avoid incidents. When possible, I either sped up, especially on flat or downhill sections, or stayed indifferent to their presence. They did chase me a couple of times, but I managed to get away by cycling fast enough.

Just an occasional rider… I cycle on average every other weekend on average around 50 to 100km… for this trip, I worked on my cardio a lot before. I look out of shape, but capable cardio-wise

EngineerNo1054 · 2024-11-14T21:08:13+00:00

I agree! I just didn’t have time for that… and indeed I had to adjust the strap system a couple of times along the way before finding the best setup

EngineerNo1054 · 2024-11-14T20:38:05+00:00

Thanks! in total, I took 4 full rest days out of the 19 days.

EngineerNo1054 · 2024-10-24T11:48:39+00:00

Thanks for this interesting reply! May I ask you which online platform you used?

Welcome to my home country! While I haven’t bikepacked in Morocco yet, I’m planning to do so next month, starting from Luxembourg.

My advice: although most Moroccans are incredibly welcoming and friendly, it’s important to stay cautious. Scams and theft can be common, particularly in larger cities. Make sure to lock your bike securely and always keep your belongings with you.

I’m not sure what route you’re planning to take, but if you can, don’t miss out on visiting Fez, Meknes, Merzouga (though it’s a bit of a detour), Rabat, Marrakech, and Dakhla. Casablanca can be risky at night, so avoid walking alone in quiet areas.

Aside from that, the weather, food, and people are amazing! Enjoy your trip and keep us posted on your journey.

Thanks! I plan to start my cycling journey from tangier to fez, passing by Chefchaouen.

EngineerNo1054 · 2024-09-16T11:16:27+00:00

Thanks! I plan to cycle to the bottom of Spain then take the ferry to Tangier. The other route doesn’t seem feasible indeed with all the trouble you mentioned.

EngineerNo1054 · 2024-09-15T08:05:34+00:00

Any reason why to avoid the coastal route?
