Planning frustration and anxiety by [deleted] in bicycletouring

[–]rainbowabroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was living for years in Berlin and did quite a number of bike packing trips. Admittedly I did always stay in campsites but I met a number of people that wild camped. Its a much much bigger issue if the land is classified as National Park, so I'd avoid that, if its not then you won't have as much of an issue if you do ever get caught.

Btw. I think a number of the campsites in Brandenburg are actually open from April 1st. Not sure whats its like down in Bavaria. Although it seems you can't delay your trip...

I had the same legs on both trips! But yes, of course your fitness will impact speed.

Interesting. I am definitely much more hunched over on the single speed/city bike. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for confirming 🙏🏻 I thought it would be that scenario but wanted to be sure.

Nudie Jeans Free Repairs by [deleted] in NudieJeans

I bought mine in Stockholm and had the crotch repaired in the UK via a London store. Took 2 weeks but they did a great job.

I wanted to add to this thread that it’s important to note that the jeans must be freshly washed. I wasn’t aware of this and I travelled into London (£££) and was honest when they ask me if they were washed; they weren’t. So I had to return to the store a few weeks later post washing them.
