#mylifebehindbars #cycling #rennrad 🚴 #spanien 🇪🇦 #andalusien

Nochmals der Küste entlang wie am letzten Freitag, diesmal aber mit deutlich mehr Wind und weniger Sonne.

Diese Woche wird etwas anders werden, als alle anderen Wochen hier in Andalusien. Wochenlang habe ich Gäste durch einen Teil von Almeria geführt. Diesmal lasse ich mich führen, beziehungsweise, ich verweile eine Woche als Gast in der Gegend. Ich habe damit auch die Freiheit, an den organisierten Run ...

A maintenance question for #BikeTooter people:

I’m repairing a puncture and it looks like the cause is the rim tape letting the spoke poke into the inner tube. Do I need proper rim tape to repair this with? Or can I use something like electrical tape or some kind of padding? Any suggestions welcome.

I have a new inner tube and don’t want to wreck that but being able to use the bike to get to the bike shop to buy new supplies would be very useful!

I wanted to do a really lazy Sunday. But the weather was just too nice.
My wife convinced me to do a less strenuous loop. So I tried to stay under 140bpm and have a nice ride. Unfortunately along a road but with very few elevation.

Today I also had a cereal bar with me and some more to drink (not just plain water).

Enjoy your Sunday!

I had hoped to not purchase anything until after Orange Stalin was removed. I knew the situation with my old Garmin cycling computer was not ideal. I never liked it. Yesterday proved though that the situation is untenable. I got away with it yesterday for a variety of reasons, one being I stayed with a group for 105km. I won't always be able to do that though.

So the question is do I buy a phone or a #cycling computer or maybe a phone holder.

My new phone is gigantic. It doesnt fit my holder

Lust auf angenehmes Geplauder über Bikepacking, Motivation, Events und diverse Themen aus meinem Blog?

@Velohome hat unser Live-Gespräch zwischen Christian, Martin (Biketourglobal) und mir von der CyclingWorld Europe aufgezeichnet (zumindest die letzten 40 Minuten) und als Podcast veröffentlicht:

Danke an alle, die uns dort auch persönlich besucht haben. :)

InstagramTorsten Frank on Instagram: "Supergravel I like that. Supergravel means super for (real) gravel. Real Offroad. Not just champagne gravel. It also means ‚above‘ mere gravel. Better fit for gravel. With ‚Gravel‘ so ubiquitously used and so diverse it’s just unavoidable that if you are exclusively off-road you encounter surfaces gnarly enough and long enough that you won’t have as much fun, aren't as comfortable and also not as fast as you could or wished for. Sure you can boast your bike-handling skills, technical prowess and underbiking ethos. It works for a certain amount of time or stretch of chunky terrain. But there are bikes really suited for this and if you prefer, you can mount drop bars on those. Born is the #DropbarMTB or #Supergravel. Or - the Gravelbike of 2025 as I predicted early 2023. Lo and behold: Already 8 new ready to buy Dropbar MTBs got announced only this year so far. I advocate for the joys and benefits of this bike category since over 2.5 years now and curate a story highlight called DropbarMTB Inspo in my Insta profile. And now I made a short article and full sized gallery out of it. And pick my favorites out of 52 stories and bikes so far. Link in bio (article in German - but all the slides with English text)."112 likes, 4 comments - torsten_frank on April 15, 2025: "Supergravel I like that. Supergravel means super for (real) gravel.
