Bikepacking from Germany to Czech Republic and back with the Gäng

I tried to make it short, and I lied.

Here is a small trip we did with the Gäng for the Eastern Holidays of 2023. It was amazing, not just because bikepacking is amazing, or because gravel bikes are also amazing, or the bike setup it was incredible, but because of the vibe, the funny moments, the cold, the wind, the gäng and everything! such a great way of enjoying holidays.

Thank you cycling!

chocolate Sophie [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] well after like five and a half kilometers gravel like I really not reliable gravel and we realized that the address it was wrong so we had to continue writing but this was just like two and a half kilometers or it is actually just two and a half kilometers and there it is lovely [Music] welcome to the last minute of the third day for this review welcome to today’s video hello the hood Welcome to our crib hey today fourth day yesterday we did a really small route was like 62 kilometers kind of like a recovery day in fact you take it easy today would be 78 to the end of it or journey and it’s okay then about what is going to happen today the thing is what I want to tell you is about this lovely Hood that we found in booking.com well this is in Czech Republic this is in doski doxy sorry this is in doxy and the cool thing is like this tiny place for four of us well quite tight with the bicycles and everything but better than nothing it was just like 58 Euros so yeah kind of like affordable but lovely today beautiful day beautiful day Blue Sky it cannot be better [Applause] and we made that stop now not just because we went to peeping but because we are in a really weird historical place here in chechai which the people work in these rocks just to take out the materials for making glasses or something like that this is what we read or something like that but look at it crazy oh and if we come here you will see that there’s even humans living here like like this guy [Laughter] well what can I say about this bike packing so far my impressions are well the bicycle is incredible it’s incredible it’s wow I will not say it’s the perfect bike packing machine because it doesn’t have like all the holes that it would be cool to have like for example in the fork or something like that but if you are planning to do like a are you packing gravel ultra distance race whoa this is the machine because it’s really fast so originally this bicycle came with 40 millimeter tires we changed them for 45 which was recommend like as maximum and the bicycle is amazingly fortified they just fly go over everything Roots it doesn’t matter Stones doesn’t matter it is just two so if you are looking for a racing gravel machine well yeah it is and the other thing that surprised me a lot is the tail fin which is the the racket is the rack that I am using right now here in Czech Republic as you can see the streets are not as good as German Street and and the rack has been really stable really stable we have been doing some growl like in a really rough Terrain and The Rock has been very just amazing nothing to say about it I really like it I think I will try to get one since this is from my from Axel so yeah investment cycling Investments thank you we are in Germany right now and the idea is just go to the house to the parents of Francine and have cake and coffee [Laughter] deep Francis for her words [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] hello hello welcome to today’s video [Music] get you and I will make it last please [Music]
