Running away from declining temperatures in Poland we end up enjoying prolonged hike-a-bikes bouncing from beach to beach on Croatia’s Krk island. Next time we’ll make sure to bring some suspension forks, proper hiking shoes and tires setup tubeless.
Jura! Krakow to Czestochowa
A high pitched female scream vibrates in front of me as I race downhill a leaf covered trail. Tires continue rustling through the golden-brown carpet of the forest floor. There it goes again! I feel hot and damp air on my face as I exhale into my neck warmer. The yell hits my eardrums once […]
Beach vacation or… the longest hike-a-bike ever
Having spent most of the summer reorganizing ourselves in a new place we decided it was time for at least a short vacation break. Escaping from degrading weather in Poland and en route to Slovenia for a family visit meant we were close enough to the hot Croatian sun and beaches of Krk island. Packing […]
In motion: Riding Roztocze & Mazury
In between moving places, DIYing furniture, finding our spot in a new environment Saska got some time to cut, slice and edit our ride into a cool bikepacking movie. Without further ado we present
Bicycle – Talking with my grandpa (by Mateusz Dobrzanski)
Edward is eighty years old and he’s been riding bikes for most of his life. Sometimes he will go just for a short ride in the morning and sometimes he will continue far beyond that. It’s all in the mood – he says. Edward will continue rolling as long as he doesn’t run out of steam. […]
Eat like kings, ride like fools. Masurian delights.
Claus – with all the calmness he could muster at this moment – grabbed the knob with the remaining three fingers of his left hand and pushed the door away from him. Scorching July sun made his pupils constrict instantly and at the same time droplet of sweat rolled down behind his well ironed shirt […]
Go east: Riding into Roztocze
Things can go fast. One day we wake up in Slovenia with all our belongings stuffed in the car and just a handful of hours later we fall asleep in a different bed, in Poland. Things can also go painfully slow. With possessions misplaced, turned up side down and in side out, it is hard […]
A mission of distance: Warsaw to Rzewnica
The sun is slowly dragging itself down the trees and fields, revealing dark and shady spots creeping ever higher into the horizon. The sky’s blue colors turn slowly into shades of pink, yellow and orange only occasionally ripped by contrail scars. I put my head down and spin my legs round and round, winding the […]
314 days
…long time no see. It’s been over 10 months since I’ve last been busy with writing up thoughts and memories stuck in between my spokes. As usual there are reasons for that, some are better, some are worse. I was… …busy on the road… …visiting family and friends… …riding trails… …swimming on lakes and rivers… […]
Trails to cherish: Wolowec to Rakhiv to Friendship
Leaving Stryj early morning I head straight for the train station to catch the elektrichka, tickets are cheap and I’d rather go straight for the mountains past Volovec than slog my way through busy traffic on main roads. Paid for me and my bike, left it in the passage between train cars. I sit […]
