Please introduce yourself<br />
We are Sabine and Mathias from Wannweil<br />
near Reutlingen. We‘re both retired now<br />
so we can really focus on our passion for<br />
cycling. We‘re keen touring cyclists – whether<br />
it‘s a daytrip or a multi-week tour – and our<br />
ultimate goal is to cycle around the world<br />
in stages. We want to do three months<br />
every year and the first leg was meant to be<br />
this year, cycling Prague – St. Petersburg –<br />
Helsinki then back home. We ride matching<br />
Winora Yakun pedelecs; they‘re super stable<br />
touring e-bikes. Having the same bike also<br />
makes repairs very simple, as when we take<br />
one apart, we still have an example to copy! It<br />
also means we can share spares.<br />
What‘s in your pack for a typical ride?<br />
Quite a lot! A map, first aid kit, phone (with a<br />
battery and charger for longer tours) tools and<br />
repair kit including a spare tube, bike manual,<br />
lemon sweets, water, apples, carrots, landjäger<br />
(a semi-dried sausage snack), bread, picnic<br />
blanket, bathing suit for spontaneous dips,<br />
toilet paper, pocket knife, sunscreen, chamois<br />
cream, tour diary, sewing kit, lipstick, a<br />
hairbrush and disinfectant.<br />
Are you optimistic or pessimistic when<br />
packing?<br />
We are realistic. If the forecast is mixed, we‘ll<br />
take jackets; if it’s supposed to be sunny, we‘ll<br />
take sunscreen instead.<br />
