    User review of a down sleeping bag by Polish brand Cumulus. Light, warm and low packing volume. Check out the Cumulus Teneqa 700!

    From pedaling to paddling: a canoe trip on the Bowron Lakes

    by Bicycle Junkies September 29, 2015
    September 29, 2015

    We find ourselves in the wilderness of Bowron Lake Provincial Park to paddle the famous 116 kilometer Canoe Circuit. Encompassing ten lakes, numerous waterways and nine portages it sounds like a perfect adventure for us. No services for the next seven days, just nature, primitive campsites and a few shelters. Let the fun begin!

    Cycling South again: from Jasper to Quesnel

    by Bicycle Junkies September 28, 2015
    September 28, 2015

    When leaving Jasper the rain follows us into the valley for our (for now) last continental divide crossing. Back in 2010 we’ve cycled this route too, but instead of cycling South towards Valemount we head further North to Prince George. Crossing the Fraser River we spot a couple of large Chinook Salmons, they have come a long way (almost 1400 kilometers) to reach this place, as did we (almost 29.000km!).

    5 Reasons to go cycling in Argentina

    by Bicycle Junkies September 16, 2015
    September 16, 2015

    Many times people ask us what our favorite memory of this whole trip is (we’re still on the road!), what was the best place, or what did we like most? There’s no simple answer to that question. Memories of all the people we’ve met, all the places we’ve visited, all the amazing campsites etc. are going around and around in my head and I’m sure things will settle down in my brain someday. To help myself with the chaos in my head and to inspire other cyclists, we’ve decided to write up a few great memories of each country we’ve cycled through so far. A few reasons to visit each of these countries to inspire you! Keep reading to find out what we love about Argentina!

    What tools to bring on a long distance bicycle tour

    by Bicycle Junkies September 14, 2015
    September 14, 2015

    Tools and spare parts are those things you have to pack, but you hope never to use (unless it’s for regular maintenance). But, cycling in the middle of nowhere we like to be able to fix the most common issues ourselves. With Elmar being a bicycle mechanic, I’m pretty sure this is a fairly complete list. Keep on reading to see our list of tools and spare parts, complete with pictures!

    Review: Hilleberg Nammatj 3GT Tent

    by Bicycle Junkies September 13, 2015
    September 13, 2015

    Our home for almost two years now. We have used the tent in heavy rain, sandy desert country and mindblowing winds. So, what do we think about the Hilleberg Nammatj 3GT tent? Does it live up to its expectations?

    Cycling the Icefield Parkway

    by Bicycle Junkies September 9, 2015
    September 9, 2015

    So, what’s it like to cycle on one of the world’s most beautiful roads? The Icefield Parkway, 230 kilometer of pure pleasure or just hard work? Parallelling the Continental Divide, highway 93 goes straight through the Rockies with views of glaciers, turquois mountain lakes, white topped peaks and fast flowing rivers… that is… when the weather isn’t working against you!

    GDMBR Canada: from Waterton NP to Banff

    by Bicycle Junkies September 7, 2015
    September 7, 2015

    With no more than one day left on our United States visa, we leave the States behind us and continue our ride into the last country we’ll visit here in the Americas: Canada! The smoke doesn’t care about borders though and follows us right into Canada as we cycle into Waterton National Park. I dare not ask for rain, since in 2010 I wished for it and it never stopped raining!
