Biking the World one crank at a time
The route was a straight line to Belgrade along a main road from Zagreb. I ended up leaving late after clipping one pannier on a post and completely breaking the clip. It wasn’t even a hard hit. After talking with Ortlieb they also said it shouldn’t have broken in the way it did. But I took a couple of hours looking for a bike shop which could sell the component. Unfortunately there was none available and I will need to order it in (always problematic when travelling).
This journey started as a quick conversation between Carwyn and I about my trip and visiting him in Malmö on my way. My first visit since 2018. I was initially going to take the train, the only way to get to Malmö from København. You are not allowed to cycle over the bridge. But since Carwyn and his partner Vernita had a boat, the conversation turned to a more adventurous way to cross.
As you’re being ridiculous and biking round the World, I feel I should be ridiculous and sail you across an international border.
