@hpod16 have you considered changing trains in Lille? We have direct TGVs to Lyon, Nice and Marseille.

A very good platform to book trains in France is https://www.12train.com/ , powered by @jeanbaptistemarie

Also I've read that now for regional trains you have to specify if you travel by bike when you purchase the ticket. There's no supplement, I believe it's just to make sure that there's enough space for bikes.

Rereading blog posts on a western WA bike tour we took in 2018 makes me want to put in more bike mileage to get ready to tour again.

If you have links to stories about good tours in WA or OR I'd love to get them. I also have Cycling Sojourner guides to WA + OR, a bit dated now on some info but still helpful on routes.

Bike Touring Northwest Washington State: How Our Bike + Ferry + Train Loop Worked Out

I started with an overall plan for bike touring from our front door in southwest Seattle that would take us north and west in a big loop. My general parameters: Start from our front door. Technical…

Welcome to th 9th and last regular wednesday #Shelter-Update...

About an impressive video, a call for help, and a childrens biketour to the north sea coast.

The "Shelter-Challenge" in february and march is coming to an end: Until the end of march i like to find a place for the public shelter construction site for my masters project "Common Shelter" that started yesterday. I will announce further actual informations und dates prominent on the website and in the fediverse.

An impressive video from Bargum in Schleswig-Holstein shows that my initiative is not utopic: It is possible to build a public shelter space in cooperation with a german communal authority. The rural youth organisation of a very little village with about 630 inhabitants in northern frisia did it in 72 hours! Please help to make it possible in "Ostwestfalen-Lippe", "Münsterland" oder "Osnabrücker Land"; in "Nordrhein-Westfalen" und "Niedersachsen", too! https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/schleswig-holstein_magazin/landjugend-packt-an-72-stunden-aktion-in-bargum,shmag-2966.html (in german)

I am still searching a communal authority, city oder a private projectplace to invest my worktime as a gift to create a public shelter place together. We will not do it in 72 hours. We have 1 or 2 months time (and it really should be possible to create 1-2 shelters, otherwise the youth of Bargum will laugh about us)! Please share this information with people who have a heart for tourism like in scandinavia. Our regions should give people the possibility to see nature, cities and rural areas from new perspectives, while travelling by bike by foot, or with a canoe.

I will continue to contact initatives, tourism offices, communal authorities... and hope to soon tell you more about the public shelter construction site starting in may 2026. You may also contact me if you have questions or important informations for me. I got the Link to the Bargum video from a person I studied with.

Last but not least, there is a nice cinema event in Bielefeld:

>>
On saturday, march 28, at 13:00 it's the premiere of "Ab ans Meer, Digga!" in the cinema "Lichtwerk".
The film documents the journey of 6 kids and young people who travelled 221 km from Bielefeld to the North Sea Coast by bike last summer 🚲
"Ab ans Meer, Digga" is an honest and touching film that empowers to take heart and to think new about participation and about letting children decide.

free entry :)

Most Cyclists Make This Mistake Before Their First Multi-Day Tour

Multi-day cycling tours sound amazing until day three hits and your legs won't cooperate. The difference between struggling and thriving comes down …

There needs to be more bicycle media that puts less focus on gear and manufacturers, and more focus on experiences and community!
