About us - Bicycle Junkies Elmar & Ellen

About us

IT ALL STARTED…

In December 2003. We fell in love and thought bicycle touring would be a good way to travel. Our first trip was all about rain, only 5 degrees celsius, too much weight, not the right gear, flat tires… we loved it! From that moment on we spend every holiday in the saddle and did a lot of bicycle touring around the world.

Live the life you love. Love the life you live.

DUNGLISH

Here ‘comes the monkey out of the sleeve’… Forgive us our ‘Dunglish’, we are Dutch and we’ll probably throw in a few Dutch sayings here and there, which make completely no sense! But, feel free to correct us! We listen to ‘Fietsjunks’, ‘Bicycle Junkies’, ‘El & El’ or just ‘Elmar & Ellen’.
