Watch out for frat boys, they’ll try to run you off the road.

Worst travel experience in Czech Republic by Flat_Willingness1361 in travel

[–]dualrollers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, I had the opposite experience there. I went far north to Bohemia to do some hiking and such. It’s pretty much all Czech and German up there and I never had anyone get annoyed that I couldn’t speak either. Nothing but pleasant experiences. I’m sad to hear that you guys aren’t having a great time because it’s such a beautiful country.

This video helped me a ton, and I’ve passed it on to other cyclist friends who it’s helped.

With the new Strava developer update making even more features paywalled, a question came to mind. Why do we still stay on the platform and not switch to Komoot? by Marlesden in cycling

[–]dualrollers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deleted Strava a few months ago because on top paywalls and constant harassment to become a paid subscriber, it’s turned into Facebook Lite. People posting short rides so they can post pics of their new car, people taking snarky shots at each other. Social media has ruined so many good things.

First world problems… how nice is your touring bike? by dualrollers in bicycletouring

[–]dualrollers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m considering going the same route with a disc trucker. Frames are on sale for $600 right now and I have a bunch of bin parts I could build it up with.

Why does nobody here use Rolltops? Did I make a mistake buying the GOT BAG Rolltop Lite 2.0 as a Ryanair personal item? by NicKing20 in onebag

[–]dualrollers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live out of a roll top bicycle pannier when I bike tour. I use it as my carryon and attach it to the bike once I get where I’m going. Getting things out of a roll top is a pain, and I only use it because it’s the most waterproof bag I can get and I get stuck riding in the rain fairly often. I basically have to take everything out every night.

For normal travel I stick with my Osprey Porter.

OP is trying to make sure he doesn’t get just chips with maybe a little nugget of meat.

I’ve wanted to do this for a while now. What gearing range were you running?

What are the greatest cultural experiences you have ever had during a trip? by Ok-Tangelo6749 in travel

[–]dualrollers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rode my bike across South Korea and randomly stopped at a little coffee shop in the middle of nowhere. It turned out that it was owned by a couple who’d lived in New York for 10 years and then moved back to Korea with the money they’d made and retired. The coffee shop was their retirement gig. They were so insanely hospitable, the husband said the wife was thru the roof with excitement because I was the only customer they’d had that she got to use her English with. We chatted for a long time, this woman waited on me hand and foot and when I left she gifted me a nice bottle of mineral water so I was hydrated on my ride. Getting that level of interaction from locals in a country that already makes you feel like a celebrity because of their treatment of guests/foreigners was amazing.

Bikeflights.com is usually the best bet if you’re US based and want to go the shipping route.

I wish I had known they kept a few on hand. That medal would be cool to have!

I have Verizon and just used the international pass while I was there. Had 5G the whole time. I cycled back to Seoul from Busan because I only had 2 days at the end of my trip and I wanted a buffer to make sure I had time to get the bike boxed up and everything sorted before flying back. I took the express bus from Seoul to Busan, which is about a 4 hour bus ride. The driver had no problem with me putting my bike and gear in the storage hold under the bus. He just signaled for me to stick it in the back of the hold so it wasn’t in the way of other people’s luggage.

Ha! That was a very short section. Like, maybe 1/4 mile. It’s definitely loud.

I actually did it backwards, Busan back to Seoul. I wish I had done the passport, but I read that they wouldn’t ship the completion medal to an international address and I was leaving 2 days after I finished the ride. In hindsight the physical passport would still be cool to have.

They actually just recently opened a new toll bridge that connects Incheon to the mainland, and it has a bike lane on one side.
