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.

She said she planned to travel to Norway pulling this little bicycle caravan! We met her in Dangu, about 50 miles ride NE of Paris. I hope she is enjoying herself and not working too hard to pull it along.

That looks like it's rugged for it's weight. having it be collapsible like that will reduce so much drag it's insane, but the solid form type-bike caravans still look appealing for longevity. I saw someone make a permanent form bike caravan in an online videoblog and that looked very cool too:

We thought it must be collapsable too, but it acually isnt!

I'm perspiring just looking at that.

It is kinda funny but i'm not sure why you would do that to you, unless you had a really bad back and need a real bed or something. Otherwise i don't really see what it offers, it saves the 15 min to set up camp?

I agree I wouldnt really want to be the one pulling it, but credit to her and I hope she makes it. Maybe someone else in the community might pass by her on her journey..
