#bikepacking #bikepackingbags #biketravel
My name is Liana I live in Ukraine I was born in hockey fan and a few years ago we moved to a small town called my name is stanislav and I have the same history with Kalin because we were together about 15 years now and I kinda like our
Lifestyle and how did you two meet we meet at the last school year when we prepare for university Csonka Springer’s at the school and like in high school yeah okay and but how did you two get in the bike packing Oh first we just cycling we started cycling’s and we
Started cycling for quick two days three days then we decided then we need some bags and we started to praise them because it’s just kind of interesting possible and then you met when you’re in the last year of high school and and when did you start your bike that you
Win exactly after you met after yes I have some diarrhea we started cycling in 2009 and yeah I wrote all our distance that we made [Laughter] where was your first trip here in Ukraine yeah it just for me and since then you’ve done on several bike packing
Trips the longest one was in cycling trip in Europe it was 15 15 countries and during 3 months and bit more than 5000 kilometres I guess and where were was that exactly it was in Europe Germany Poland Czech Republic then Slovenia Albania Macedonia and Greece whatever but Bulgaria and
Bukharian Romania in which of those places was your favorite it’s hard we like mountains a lot of mountains oops I love ‘snore-son Italia maybe the most and I fell in love in Bulgaria actually it’s not as well one of my favorites country for backpacking Bulgaria I have no idea I just love is
It’s so beautiful nature it’s mountains and amazingness you two are from Ukraine and we’re in Ukraine right now how is Ukraine different from other countries like is I think Ukraine friendly we have friendly people it’s our like the biggest good food cheap for Europe and people grain is very different
Because we live and we burn eastern Ukraine and now we move to Western Ukraine and we buy quacking a lot of new parents every agent is different and people are different so I come from like the road touring kind of background like most of my trips are on paved roads and
Ukraine has kind of a bad reputation as being yeah a terrible place to go cycling because the roads are in such yes we started cycling on the road but then we decided it’s dangerous and we try to go some when the volunteers on small roads secondary roads because it’s
Much more safety and much more interesting to cycle yeah when I mean bike parking and you can actually mean like like an off road in Ukraine because roads yeah and we like to meet people to speak to know how they live what they do how is their life that’s cool so but how
Did you get into the bike packing Mbeki is that part of because you lived in Ukraine and you didn’t want to cycle on the roads or no just we love nature I don’t love Ross I don’t love noisy car I always like nervous when some car passed
Me wrong and I really like white plays beautiful nature for us it’s much more interesting too see we don’t really like to go to the city to go to some terrific places for us it’s much more interesting to find quite interesting place and to see something in this place now try to avoid
A big city III tried to pass every big city oh yeah I don’t where are your favorite places to go in Ukraine for me it’s Valene region yeah now we really like it because it’s different from another part of Ukraine because it’s a flat Rachel no appeals and a lot of swamps forests
It’s really beautiful yeah this is the funniest part at st. erode because there no like s filter out at all it’s usually some cobble roads or gravel roads on sand your Saints and rocks and you have to have a huge tires to buy cans therefore discomfort but it’s so cool
You can see like for too few days you can know like you can meet sorry you can catch the that unity3d like though several days without any people yeah so you can go for several days without meeting any people or something school that’s cool where is this it’s
The most west part of Ukraine there’s kind of new yeah it’s actually really there and then and when did you start this company of yours making by 1600 2016 after we’ve finished our tour three months Esther then sister we cycle these pairs and then we decide to change our bags and
Try to design them to make them and and tell me about your company a little bit what what exactly are you making there by packing bags yeah we’re making backpacking backs mostly and main idea to make them durable and completely waterproof to give opportunity to by quacking everywhere people want and this
Year we like create our slogan like our slogan is write your bike we’re even was a scared to so it’s like main idea for a company and so like there’s a lot of bike packing bag companies out there how is how is viewers different from everyone else’s maybe maybe because we
Make personal like we make custom back to make personal bags and we spent a lot of time to communicate with our customers so it’s maybe like no personal communication and otherwise our bags is really durable so we spend this give a lot of attention for small details we
Never make like them fast so it’s all like they try to test our bags before this may be a problem because we change our bags for a few times per year so we try to improve improve the changing materials now we started to weld our backs from TPU fabric
And we’ve started to experiment with they need my composite fabric and other sensor would develop our like products all the time and who designs and makes the bags Helen is a smart one I usually have some ideas what you what I want to and I try to mate so you’re
Making them all by hand yeah yeah we have one silver and three Thorson it’s cool and so if someone wants a bag I want a bag for my bike just like us yeah but do you make like stock bags like I just want your seat
Pack and you ship it up or do you do I have to like tell you what I want we have some bags in stock like sit back and one type of our handlebar bag and another it’s about three weeks four weeks to produce it depends on the
Season okay but like if I have a custom triangle bag or something like do I send you measurements and parasail we need photos actually we need a good side photo viz ruler and then we make a pattern and send you so you can check and after that we make a backs it’s
Usually it’s about three weeks for over say a waiting time there we’re in Ukraine and I bet that like a lot of people in America don’t know where Ukraine is is that a problem for you like where do most of your customers come from for this year most of customers was from
Western Europe and for previous year was from you say actually I actually have no idea how people found us maybe Instagram mostly I guess in facebook and maybe some like for advice but it’s really easy to send backs in any part of the world we do it by usual post office and
It’s about two weeks and backs right before say your tweets what’s your most popular bag product back sit back and frame vaccine okay and why do you think because remakes sit back with stainless steel minaret for super villains back and because the back is very durable and also it’s it’s our
Likely profit of this wax has two removable pockets which can be used like four separate like handlebar Massimo pocket or frame pocket or belt pocket so any any place pocket actually and the other one pearls that sit back can be easily wearing like a backpack so it’s
That comes standard with each C pack ready after order that so it’s like our set full set for sit back its rack sack two pockets and backpack strap and the waterproof frame bed and we make waterproof frame back stand I guess that’s why it’s very popular for first
Time we make custom waterproof frame back and sent it to Bulgaria and after that we receive shot video how guys put his bike under the water for waterfowl and just filming everything is the case thank you like my stuff all dry inside yeah it’s funny do you do you get very many
People like sending you photos or videos of your bags and use sometimes I feel uncomfortable to remind people please send us photo but I’m so happy when they support of our like back somewhere in mountains and some trip it’s like a part of you yeah I do that with my business
Too is like I’m always trying to get people to send me a photo of them out on the road somewhere but sometimes it can be like months right and or years even sometimes between the time like they buy your bag and the time they actually go
Out on a trip you know so that’s cool we’re talking about like your bags and stuff but what is like something when people are buying a bag what is something that they need to look for it you mentioned like waterproofness durability is there anything else that’s important what’s your functional for me
What the function is very very important we try to make bags that you can carry on your shoulder it’s to carry to the airplane from the bike and take them with you on just for hotels ball what other tips do you have about bike packing that you can give to people who
Are interested in bike packing things you’ve learned maybe from the road I have one more important much matter most important partyÃs tough very tight because when you pack it like just put inside then after that yobics guy go in sweat Ville like swaying bumping I don’t
Know English words was it but it’s looks disgusting it’s not uncomfortable please pack it very good it’s my personal pain because when I see like people said what how can i pocket a chest please pack it tightly I have no idea how to say this
But I try and I think my tips just go out take your bike take your bags and stuff and go riding they just try one more time one time than second and you you will learn so it’s comfortable for you you should start from small steps like 1 day 2 days
All right so how can people learn more about you if they want to see about your travels we have our page on Instagram on Facebook we try to post over video some photos from our tools from short rides when something we have new bags we try to pause them and contacts
What is your Instagram Instagram like personal image we have personal my my Stanislav Costa and and your website I don’t know you have a Facebook now we have Facebook’s it isn’t exactly the same like Instagram and we have to change changing okay okay I just want to put it here you know
