Cycling on the Balearic islands
Tristan and Belén set out to create a bikepacking route across the four biggest Balearic Islands Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca and Menorca, and call it the TransBaleares!
OVERNIGHTER WITH BIKE AND DOG
Martin and his dalmatian Sancho are a perfect team. Martin, who started off as a mountain biker, loves every facet of cycling. He doesn’t have a car, choosing instead to run errands with his capable cargo bike. Martin familiarized Sancho with cycling at an early age…Sancho loves accompanying Martin on spirited “full-gas rides” and is everything you could ask for in a trail dog. Both agree that nothing strengthens the bond between human and canine more than adventure.
JAAPs CUSTOM-MADE CARGO BIKE
Even as a young boy, Jaap built cargo bikes. As teenager he welded standard trailer hitches to classic Dutch bikes. The fully extendable and light trailer for this purpose he of course also built himself. His fascination for cargo bikes never really diminished, but something seeped away when Jaap got his driver’s license and eventually his first car.
How urban mobility works today
2018 was a thrilling year for Joaquin Cortés. The young Spanish designer traveled to Eurobike with a unique bike in his luggage. It wasn’t just any bike, but his vision of a modern eBike. It was a rideable prototype of an urban gearbox-driven eBike that weighed just 15 kg. But the statistics did not tell the whole story.
RYANS GREAT DIVIDE ADVENTURE
Riding the “Great Divide Mountain Bike Route” once in a lifetime is the dream of many cyclists. The legendary route is considered the longest “off-road bike route” in the world and runs for 2,745 miles (= 4,417 kilometers) from Banff, Canada to the Mexican border. The US athlete and filmmaker Ryan van Duzer fulfilled this dream and started the race with his new Pinion Bike Priority 600X.
33.105 KM FROM PATAGONIA TO ALASKA
In January 2016, Kamran Ali sets off on the “tour of his life”. This will take him on about 30,000 kilometres from Ushuaia in southern Patagonia to Alaska – by bike. To make his dream come true, the IT specialist has quit his job and apartment in Nuremberg. Since then he has been living his dream of being on the road.
Bikepacking IN THE INCA EMPIRE
Simon and Nacho have been friends for years. Together, the two young men from the Basque Country have traveled to the world’ s most remote destinations. They are familiar with each other, they are adventurous and have a good deal of improvisational talent.
DOCUMENTING CLIMATE CHANGE
Swiss citizen Florian Reber cycled 6,300 km in 71 days through the Rocky Mountains in summer 2019. He observed and documented climate change along the Continental Divide from British Columbia to New Mexico. This was his second long-distance cycling tour as part of the “Tales of Change” project. He completed the first in 2018, crossing the Alps from east to west.
THE ATLAS MOUNTAIN RACE
The Atlas Mountain Race leads in 1,200 kilometres and 20,000 vertical metres through the High Atlas in Morocco. Endurance races like this are becoming more and more popular. More and more it is also about exploring the extremes. The concept of these races is that you have to navigate completely self-sufficient. There are no supply stationy. The break times are not specified. Everyone sleeps when and where they want. Just the right thing for the photographer and adventurer Kilian Reil!
