    Eleventh hour advice needed

    Hi Joe! I missed a blinking taillight, you alreday thought about that. I rode on similar tires as you and had about 4 punctures, take along enough spare tubes. In the end I wished I had used puncture-proof tires. Make sure that all screws are locked tightly, consider Lock-tite. Take along spare...

    Cyclists - an apology!

    A part of my definition of a pilgrimage is somewhat meditational (though only in theory since I never walked). I found out though that cycling for me wasn't meditational at all; I was listening to my body, enjoying the views, concentrating on not crashing, giving silent apologies to my bike for...

    Biking from Madrid to Santiago de Compostela

    Of course you can do it! Just go in your own pace and take your time. The first two days were a little hard for me but after that it was ok, you get into it. I didn't didn't do any longer trips before for training, only 17-25km maybe once a week, max twice. Use crème, like Assos. We didn't in...

    What type of tyres for Camino Bike

    I've cycled the VdlP 2014 which is longer and, I guess, more offroad than the Frances. But anyway, I was riding on Geax AKA, foldable MTB-tyres, low weight, really low rolling resistance, silent. At the end of our tour the rear tire was worn down and I had had three flats due to small stone...

    What kind of pedals?

    I've been considering clipless myself, but I din't like the idea of clicking around in churches. I'll go with flats.

    Arriving by plane, need to pick up the hired car - when do I retrieve the bike from luggage service?

    Thanks for the hint! :) I have reserved a somewhat bigger car which should hold our two bikes in their packing - but you never know what you end up with in the end.

    Getting my bike home from Santiago to Sweden

    Hi again, now this seems like an obvious thing to know, but somehow I find it hard to find a good way to get me and my bike back home to Sweden. I found out that Vueling will take my bike for 45€ per leg, since the flight will be routed via Madrid this will be 90€ plus packing material ...

    Arriving by plane, need to pick up the hired car - when do I retrieve the bike from luggage service?

    So, I'm going to get the bike box and carry it to the rental office, apparently there are two, one behind security and one outside. Thanks guys for your help! (Here is the car rental's answer: Our office is inside security area, but we have another office outside that area –for non passengers...

    Arriving by plane, need to pick up the hired car - when do I retrieve the bike from luggage service?

    I contacted the car-rental office (Goldcar), I'll let you know about this when/if I got an answer. (We're two to do the trip, but the other guy is arriving later so I wanted to use the time and arrange with the car beforehand.) Edit: It seems that their office is in the parking area, outside...

    Arriving by plane, need to pick up the hired car - when do I retrieve the bike from luggage service?

    Yes, I forgot about customs. Well, I guess I'll get the bike right away, surely the safest way as well ;) Thanks.

    Arriving by plane, need to pick up the hired car - when do I retrieve the bike from luggage service?

    Hi all, I am arriving at Málaga by plane and will have my bicycle with me as special luggage. I have to pick up a car from car rentals, since we're "really" starting from Sevilla. Now, how do I do this logistically, since I wanted to keep my bike in the box for not staining the car with...
