Cyclists need more than just their bike when travelling - the right equipment, safe transport and good planning are crucial. Whether it's tools, spare parts, suitable clothing or well thought-out bike packing: if you are prepared, you can avoid breakdowns when travelling and concentrate fully on your adventure. We show you six products that will make travelling easier.
If you've ever seen flight baggage being thrown, kicked or bumped on the internet, you'll quickly feel queasy. No wonder - after all, you want your beloved bike to be well protected. The Evoc bike bag, for example, provides a remedy. Everything has its place here and is well protected. Also available as a Pro version. Price: 525 euros >> at Amazon or Bike Components available at a reduced price.
Even spacious estate cars can quickly become cramped with two bikes and luggage in the boot. Travelling with a bike rack is much more comfortable - provided a trailer coupling is available. The pleasant side effect: dirt stays outside. The new Outpace from Thule offers secure space for two bikes. Price: 600 euros >> available here.
Helmet, bike and road gear, wash bag and pads - where to put all this stuff? Our tip: a large travel bag with a volume of 100 litres, which can also be carried as a rucksack if required. These cylindrical bags made from robust material are called "duffle bags". Incidentally, they originated in the small Belgian town of Duffel - no joke! For example from Patagonia. Price: 200 euros >> available here at a reduced price.
Our tip: Hose down the bike thoroughly after wet and damp rides. No problem even when travelling: The Stihl RCA 20 comes with a 20-litre folding canister, flexible hose and a running time of over 20 minutes. Price: 229 euros >> available here.
Whether on a plane or train - there are simply too many annoying people talking loudly on the phone, playing Insta-Reels with sound or having unpleasant conversations. The solution: headphones and the right music. The Major V from cult manufacturer Marshall deliver up to 100 hours of sound without recharging. Price: 149 euros >> available here at a reduced price.
The term "Kulturbeutel" is derived from "Körperkultur" - a modern word for hygiene and personal hygiene at the time. In the post-war period, "culture" was closely linked to personal hygiene and civilisation. In other words: if you want to be cultured, you should reach for the lightweight Washbag Tour 3, for example - everything fits in here: Price: 26 euros >> at Deuter or Mountain friends available.
