So far so good… I’m right now on a trip trough Europe by bike with my friends from Cycle Me Home. I joined them in Edinburgh and went by bike through Scotland and England to get the ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam. It was an amazing trip so far. Scotland and England has such a beautiful landscape. Right now we are in Amsterdam for a few days.

Because there were some people asking me how to prepare for such a trip. I made a bike check.
