For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Both of us are students from Scotland. I fixed up 2 scrap bikes and then we made it all the way to the Polish border. Wanted to go further but ran out of time so we are finishing the trip on the train.

we I'm a dumb filthy ignorant American so I'm too stupid to know if there's some cool new underground or above ground method of transport from Britain to Spain or whatever.

I've cycled from Paris to Ashford in southeast England and you can pay a bloke with a trailer on his van to take you through the channel tunnel.
