    Beautiful video.
    Be careful in France, I also went to cycle from Geneva to Lyon and follow the Via Rhona, but my bicycle was stolen in Lyon when I left it alone locked for 30 min.

      Bike thieves are a problem everywhere (almost).
      Do not hesitate to ask if you can take your bike inside shops, shopping malls, supermarkets you can leave your bike by check out, restaurants (truckers restaurants backyard)
      People are more kind and helpful than most think, just ask.
      ⚠️ Bike must be clean.

    Hi! Which bus company from Amsterdam allowed you to take your bike onboard? Did it have to be stowed in a bike bag? Or did the bus have a bike rack? Thank you!

    • @Buzzalong.cycling
      @Buzzalong.cycling  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Hey, I went with Flix bus. They allow you to take your bike disassembled in a bag. You have to pay for extra luggage. Make sure to add this to your reservation and should be good. They have bike racks also but not in all the buses.

    Thanks for the nice video! I'm planning s trip from Italy to Spain and i will take part of eurovelo 8
    But i want to do a lot of gravel and off road so my question is: is the eurovelo 8 from France to Spain all on paved roads? Thanks and I wish you many good kilometers!

    • @Buzzalong.cycling
      @Buzzalong.cycling  ปีที่แล้ว

      Sounds great, eurovelo is a mix but mostly paved cycle lanes some gravel but not much. Happy cycling

    Hello, very nice video always have fun by watching. Is the via rhona and the mediterranean route completely passable by roadbikes or were bikes with gravel tires an advantage?

    • @Buzzalong.cycling
      @Buzzalong.cycling  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Marcel, I think you can use a road bike but have at least 30 mm tyres, most of the areas I rode were paved but there was also some light gravel

    • @Buzzalong.cycling
      @Buzzalong.cycling  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, Many thanks for your comment. I like to go for a minimalistic setup because like this I can cover more kilometers every day. I have not checked the exact total weight of my setup, but it is something I might do for one of my upcoming videos ;) thanks. You can find a review of the gear I took on this trip on my channel :)
