voila,
j'aurais aimé savoir quelles solutions opter vous quand vous vous retrouvez en ville, et que l'on doit quitter son velo. Cadenas pour le velo, mais pour les sacoches et leur contenu?
Debutant tout juste en cyclo randonné, je me posais cette question.
Peut etre vous en remettez vous a votre bonne etoile??
vaste question qui me pose bien des problemes a moi aussi ... Moi j'ai opté pour des sacoches qui se transforment en sac a dos mais 4 sac a dos sur un seul gars, c'est un peu idiot alors je quitte pas trop mon velo .... Mais a chaque fois que je l'ai laissé, j'ai pu demander a quelqu'un de jetter un oeil dessus !!!
Mauvais souvenirs d'amis a moi qui au<bout de 9000 km se sont retrouvé en roumanie a regarder leur velo partir ... avec un autre gars dessus !!!
un bon antivol, l'idéal deux ( un tortillon pour fixer la selle, les roues et un U pour le cadre ???
moi aussi je pose la question !!!
J'ai prévu un antivol pour le vélo, et des cadenas pour empêcher l'ouvertue des sacoches et du sac de remorque. Il me reste à savoir comment protéger la remorque d'être détachée du vélo.
je connais quelqu'un qui avait fabriqué lui même sa remorque ( est ce ton cas) et qui avait prévu une sorte d'oeilleton qui lui permettait d'y faire passer un cable; ce dernier faisait office d'antivol ...
perso, je ne protège pas les sacoches; juste 2 anti-vols sur le vélo : 1 sur la roue avant pris avec le cadre et un poteau ou un élément fixe extérieur et 1 sur la roue arrière.
Un vélo chargé est imposant, peu commun et de par son aspect peu discret doit relativement freiner les ardeurs des voleurs.
D'ailleurs, si on fait un sondage, je ne pense pas qu'on trouve sur ce forum beaucoup de cyclos qui se sont déjà fait voler quelque chose dans leurs sacoches pendant les courses ou un arrêt. non?
Après tout dépend de l'endroit...c'est sur qu'en France il faut plus se méfier que dans les pays dit "pauvres" ( mais qui sont bien souvent humainement plus riches que nous 😛 )...
Bon c'est sure que si tu veux partir tout seul c'est mal barré! mais c'est vrai que c'est pratique de partir à deux, pendant que l'un fait les courses l'autre surveille...
Dans les petits bleds y'a pas trop de risque surtout si tu laisse ton vélo un peu en vue ( les petites superettes c'est pratique!)
C'est vrai qu'on a jamais vraiment prévu de petits cadenas ou autre...
En fait c'est une question qui pourrais rester sans réponse nette parce que même avec un petit cadena un coup de couteau est si vite arrivé... ou même on peu décrocher les sacoches, enfin bon si on va sur ce terrain là on peu aller loin....
Ben justement, moi je crains plus le vol dans les sacoches que le vol d'un ensemble trike-remorque. Me faire voler le réflex numérique (sans parler de la valeur des photos) ou le panneau solaire, ça me ferait bien chier. Déjà pour le prix, mais aussi pour finir le voyage.
Les sacoches ne pourront pas être enlevées sans enlever d'abord la caisse du chien qui sera elle vissée au porte-bagage (quel sens de l'organisation 😎).
Bon je pense quand même souscrire une assurance loisirs à GMF, pour 4500€ de matos (vélo + camping + divers), j'ai une côtisation d'environ 30€/mois.
salut!

pour l''antivol, il faut un U rigide pour fixer a un poteaux, les cables souples se coupent facilement (il y a eu des tests fait par des assoc cyclo, a rechercher sur le web)
Pour la selle et l'autres roues il faut remplacer ces conneries d'áxe rapides (on fait pas la course) par des axes qui ont besoins d'une cle (une petite cle a lene) pour etre demonte (a glisser dans la chambre a air de rechange)
Pour les bagages .... le bistrot, l, epicier, ..... demander a une personne si on peut le laisser la le velo et on te surveillera ....le temps d'une visite .....
bon et bien je vois que la plupart d'entre vous s'en remette a leur "bonne etoile" ou a l'epicier du coin!
C'est vrai que le fait qu'un velo chargé comme une mule ne court pas les rues, du coup ca atise moins les voleurs.
Apres je pense peut etre acheter une petite alarme, au moins pour la nuit (suivant les endroits), comme ca quand ca roupille profondemment, au moindre mouvement du velo et de son chargement, ca reveil.
La question a déjà été évoquée maintes fois sur le forum, notamment l'été passé. Malheureusement, ça avait fait émerger des témoignages de vols tout de même assez nombreux: vélos volés en entier, sacoches ouvertes à coup au cuter, vol de pièces... vols en ville, vols durant la nuit, vols dans les trains 🙁.
Bref, il faut avoir quelques bonnes idées pour voyager avec l'esprit tranquille. Je détesterais roupiller ou visiter un monument en me demandant si on n'est pas en train de me dépouiller, c'est plus des vacances !
Le moyen le plus efficace, en journée du moins, c'est bien le "binôme". ça casse un peu la convivialité, du genre "va visiter la cathédrale, je fais le gardien ici une demi-heure et ensuite on se relaie", mais c'est radical.
En voyageant seul, ça complique tout. Pour le vélo, on peut déjà l'attacher avec des cadenas très solides et peu encombrant, comme le nouveau ABUS en photo jointe (il est noté résistance 8 je crois, quelqu'un l'a-t-il essayé ? c'est pratique ?).
Après, plutôt que mettre des cadenas partout, je pense qu'en remplaçant les attaches-rapides (détache rapide = vol) par des fixations standard ou même sécurité (à dkt, il ont des attaches pour tube de selle et roues à 5 pans très spéciales, seule votre clé fournie peut démonter la fixation).
Pour ne pas se faire tirer les sacoches, ou leur contenu, je n'ai vraiment pas de solution.
Par contre pour les valeurs précieuses, j'ai adopté la technique suivante: tous les biens de forte valeur (appareil photo, argent, papiers d'identité, billets de train éventuellement, couteau suisse + conneries hi-tech si vous avez, dans la sacoche de guidon). J'ai une sacoche de guidon avec des attaches sur les côtés à l'extérieur, on peut clipser une bandoulière en 2 secondes, et ça fait une petite sacoche qu'on garde facilement sur soi quand on est à pieds.
Enfin, dans un cas très concret du genre arriver dans une ville le matin, vouloir se donner 5 ou 6 heures pour la visiter à pieds (à vélo c'est galère dans la foule), bref, scénario ou les probabilités de déprédation sont grandes, j'ai songé avec amusement, mais jamais testé cette idée: trouver une personne qui inspire confiance et lui demander carrément de mettre le vélo dans son garage ou son jardin pour la journée. Là où c'est vraiment comique, c'est pour trouver la personne de confiance qu'on ne connaît pas!
Il me semble qu'il y a des catégories cibles qui pourraient faire l'affaire: les vieux (vous imaginez un bon vieux, ou une petite grand-mère qui donne du lait à ses chats vous tromper et allez vendre tout votre bien sur le marché parallèle ?), ou encore les prêtres (encore une idée jamais appliquée jusqu'à maintenant: demander la direction du presbytère, et là franchement proposer de laisser le vélo à l'abri des regards... un prêtre n'irait pas commettre un stupide péché).
Attention tout de même avec les catégories, mon cousin s'est fait piquer sa montre et son walkman par une femme genre mère de famille parfaitement inoffensive à qui il avait demandé de veiller sur ses affaires pendant son bain, ha ha ha.
Allez y de vos idées farfelues, ça peut faire avancer le schmilblick.
I’d been watching this ultra-light travel movement or trend for a while.
So I gave it a try—goodbye to the 5 panniers and rear racks.
A 15L saddle bag for clothes and a stove cookset.
Two cages on the fork blades: 2x5L—mattress on one side, tent on the other.
A 5L frame bag for miscellaneous items: battery, camera, small bits and pieces.
And one on the handlebar for the sleeping bag.
I tested it this summer on a crossing from Valence to Perpignan via the Massif Central.
My conclusions:
The obvious advantage is the reduced weight. In total, I had 12 kg on the bike, which makes climbing in the mountains much easier.
Another benefit I hadn’t considered is the significantly lower wind resistance compared to a traditional setup—you really feel it when the wind’s against you.
Of course, it’s not all perfect...
For example, it’s impossible to carry a food stock. You buy just enough before each meal or go to a restaurant!
You also have to accept a more spartan comfort level at stops.
In conclusion, I think for summer trips in regions where resupplying is easy, it’s an interesting option—especially if there’s significant elevation gain.
On the other hand, it doesn’t allow for enough autonomy, so some trips are off the table.
On the bike side, I swapped my Shimano 11/34 cassette for an 11/40. Even though Shimano doesn’t recommend it with a 105 derailleur and a 46/30 double chainring, it works really well.
The only limit is avoiding the 46/40 gear ratio.
Hi,
what are the easiest ways to get back from Nordkapp without pedaling—
train, boat, or plane?
Has anyone already done this?
Thanks for sharing your tips!
Hi, does anyone have recent info on the Shikoku pilgrimage? We’re traveling as a pair by bike, and I plan to camp whenever possible because from what I’ve seen, accommodations are pretty expensive, especially for long trips. I’d love any info or tips—thanks in advance! Aichatou
I’m planning to leave Nice for Toulouse around 10/15 and I’m looking for tips / great deals regarding:
- The route: I was thinking of taking Nice - Grasse - Draguignan - Salernes - Cadarache - Cavaillon - Arles, then the Camargue, Sète, and the Canal du Midi to Toulouse. The idea is to avoid high-traffic roads and too many steep climbs. Are there any spots to avoid or must-see stops? Since it’s been a while since I’ve been on the road, I was thinking that sleeping indoors might be preferable. If you have any budget-friendly accommodation suggestions along part of the route, don’t hesitate!
Thanks in advance, and if you’re in the area around that time, we could ride together... Ciao.
Hi,
I need to arrive in Thessaloniki by bike at the end of September and I plan to head to Istanbul along the coast.
Could anyone help me pick the best route? Safety, difficulty.
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone! Thanks for welcoming me to the forum :)
I’m preparing for a long trip heading to Nepal, with stops along the way depending on my mood, work needs, and the season. I cycle a lot, but this will be my first big touring adventure. I’d like to camp regularly to keep costs down, so I’ll be riding on all kinds of surfaces: smooth and rough roads, main highways and rocky paths to find my camping spots, flat terrain and the occasional steep slopes.
For my bike model, I’m prioritizing durability, versatility, and repairability. From that perspective, I prefer a steel frame and fork with rim brakes since I’m used to them. I’ve narrowed my choices down to four models:
- The VSF Fahrradmanufaktur T-700 LTD (1400 €): steel frame, aluminum fork, hydraulic rim brakes, 28" wheels, 40mm tires, 36 spokes (2 mm), lightweight rear rack (max 20 kg), no front rack included, smallest gear ratio of 0.72, weight of 13.9 kg.
- The VSF Fahrradmanufaktur TX-400 (2200 €): steel frame and fork, hydraulic rim brakes, 26" wheels, 50mm tires, 36 spokes (2.34 mm), front and rear racks included (40+18 kg), smallest gear ratio of 0.71, weight of 15.9 kg.
- The Genesis Tour de Fer 30 (2150 €): steel frame and fork, mechanical disc brakes, 28" wheels, 36 spokes, 40mm tires, front and rear racks included (27+10 kg), smallest gear ratio of 0.77, weight of 15.9 kg.
- The Rockrider ADTV 900 from Decathlon (1700 €): aluminum frame and fork, mechanical disc brakes, USB port, 28" wheels, 47mm tires, 28 spokes, front and rear racks included (40+20 kg), smallest gear ratio of 0.71, weight of 17.1 kg. This is the successor to the Riverside Touring 900, which was a hit.
I’ve got a few questions:
1/ Should I go for 26" or 28" wheels for my trip? 26" wheels seem better for rough terrain, but 28" wheels feel more comfortable on roads. I’ve also read that 26" tires/tubes are easier to find.
2/ Do you recommend a steel frame and fork over aluminum? I’m guessing a high-quality aluminum frame and fork would be better than a low-quality steel one, right?
3/ Regarding the smallest gear ratio, is 0.71 a good number for a loaded bike in the mountains?
4/ Finally, what do you think of these four models for my project? My heart leans toward the TX-400—it seems to combine the versatility and robustness I’m looking for. But the price difference with the T-700 LTD is making me think twice!
Thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts!
17 days, 1,400 km, and 17,500 m of elevation gain cycling in northern Vietnam! 🇻🇳 🚴🇻🇳
From the misty Fansipan to the breathtaking landscapes of the Ha Giang Loop, from remote villages to vibrant markets...
I cycled through the north of the country, getting up close with its people—through mud, heat, endless mountain passes, and unforgettable encounters.
Most importantly, I discovered a Vietnam far different from the usual tourist circuits.
Join me on this adventure through a video that captures these 17 days of travel. :)
If Vietnam calls to you, come ride a stretch with me!
Hi,
can anyone give us some tips on how to get to North Cape from Lyon Gerland?
What’s the best route to join the EuroVelo 7?
How many kilometers is it from Lyon to North Cape via EuroVelo 7?
The best month to leave—we’re thinking early May.
Thanks for any advice!
Looking for a female travel companion for a cycling trip (arriving by plane in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and cycling toward Montevideo, Uruguay, returning by plane to France from Buenos Aires, Argentina) – 1,500 km
Hello everyone!
I’m planning a cycling trip across Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina, with a departure set for late October, November, or December. I’m looking for a travel companion to share this long-distance adventure with.
Experience:
I already have solid experience in bicycle touring in Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. Currently, I maintain excellent physical condition by cycling an average of 250 km over 3 days per week (4 hours a day at 20 km/h).
The trip & the pace:
Daily pace: Between 50 and 80 km per day, to make steady progress while taking time to explore.
Accommodation: Flexible and authentic. We’ll alternate between wild camping, campsites, Warmshowers, small guesthouses, and budget hotels depending on opportunities and the weather.
Looking forward to reading your message and planning this amazing journey together!
Another long-time dream of Claudio’s: the Petit Mont Cenis pass and the dam at the eponymous lake.
A place where many Italians, including my father, worked in the 1950s–60s.
Faverges → St-Michel-de-Maurienne → Lanslebourg → Petit Mont Cenis → return. 315 km, 3 days. Bivouac at St-Michel-de-M.
Brouter link
Leg One: Faverges → St-Michel-de-Maurienne
Leg Two: St-Michel → Lanslebourg → Mont Cenis Lake → St-Michel
Leg Three: St-Michel → Faverges
And it finally happened in August 2026: in the Maurienne Valley about the famous cycle route known as the V67
🇷🇼 Cycling in Rwanda: 4 episodes, an off-the-beaten-path adventure
After 3 weeks and nearly 1,200 km by bike across Rwanda, I made 4 videos to share this adventure in a different way: the landscapes, the encounters, the villages… but above all, all those incredible scenes of everyday life.
The 4 episodes are available here:
👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGnfbxjccWAg
The 4th episode focuses on rural Rwandan life: simple, authentic, and sometimes surprising scenes that you only truly discover when you take the time to travel by bike.
If you have a few minutes, let yourself be transported to Rwanda…
Hi,
We bought the MSR bike tent model (2-person + large awning that can fit 2 bikes) back in 2005. It’s served us really well, especially during a year-long trip in Africa. Now, one of the poles is broken, and we’d love to replace it since that’s the only issue with the tent—we still love it! The poles are 9.35 mm in diameter, with 8 sections of 49 cm and 2 sections of 28 cm. Total length when assembled: 416 cm. Actually, two large sections are broken: one straight and one curved. It’s a pain to find replacements since this model is no longer sold anywhere.
Would anyone have this model lying around unused and be willing to sell me a pole?
Hi everyone,
In early April, I’m redoing the Vélo Francette (La Rochelle to Ouistreham), and then I’d like to cycle along the Cotentin Peninsula (which I don’t know at all), follow the coast up to Cherbourg, and then head back down to at least Saint-Malo. I’d love to know if it’s pleasant for cycling—are the roads nice? Not too windy? What are the must-see spots? Any great campsites? All your tips and advice are more than welcome, and I thank you in advance.
After testing it for three years across various modes of transport, I’m sharing this video of a bike packing case. It’s made from recycled cardboard and shrink-wrapped, with adjustable thickness and added bubble wrap depending on the level of protection you want.
Installing spacers at the fork and chainstays makes the packaging compact. With the fifteen-odd euros for shrink-wrapping at the airport, this case travels really well.
https://youtu.be/_GDJi-GqmkM
- Low bulk (1.10m x 0.70m x 0.25m for a large frame), it fits vertically in train luggage compartments and the total dimensions (x+y+z) don’t exceed 2.40m.
- Two carrying solutions for public transport and easy handling by airport staff (no more tears in the cardboard from openings).
- Discreet packaging when dealing with bus drivers and train conductors, as it looks like an ordinary parcel.
- No need to return to the starting point to retrieve the case from your outbound trip, which you’d otherwise have to store somewhere, or deal with a bulky cover to pack in your panniers.
- You can still check tire pressure through the plastic film without damaging the packaging too much.
Drawbacks: Around 3 hours for this lengthy and meticulous process—removing the wheels, pedals, handlebars, and derailleur without misaligning them, then securing all components to the frame.
If you get a chance to test it, send me your feedback for future improvements.
I just took a trip in Tunisia from Tozeur to Douz, skirting Chott el Jerid to the south. I’m back with the urge to keep going further south via the 4x4 tracks to connect Douz to Ksar Ghilane. Has anyone driven this route recently or explored southern Tunisia?
Thanks for your tips!

😎Fellow traveling cyclists or not, all of you who love travel, the pleasure of physical effort, nature, beautiful machines, people with true passions they seek to fulfill, and who also enjoy reading great literature about all this—the *200* magazine is for you just as it is for me. I should mention I have no financial or other interest in this (in an era where we accuse our politicians of all sorts of vile interests, I prefer to take precautions). I’ve been subscribed since the beginning, and every three months, I get my 130 pages of dreams (the magazine just went from 110 to 130 pages).
It covers everything from the trans-America route to the TCR (Trans Continental Race) from Belgium to a small town in Turkey, with mind-blowing averages—4,000 km and 80,000 m of elevation gain in 8 days and 15 hours for the winner. Let that sink in, and all of it without assistance—accepting a patch could penalize you. There’s also a story about crossing Iran, encountering one of the world’s most welcoming populations, following in the footsteps of Nicolas Bouvier, as well as retirees leisurely traversing France. The common thread in all these stories? Beautiful writing. Take, for example, a stunning article: *"Passengers of the Cold: From Edinburgh to Thurso, at the very north of Scotland, 550 km of moors, coasts, and icy wind. In Thurso, the road ends at a quay, facing the Orkney Islands. We wanted a November trip, off-season. We wanted to surprise winter. Just before the snow."* A sublime piece on the experience of facing adversity and the chance encounters along the road and in the elements.
Before I embarked on my own bike trips, I dreamed a lot about them—from the Atacama to the Gobi, along the Mekong, and not forgetting France. And now, these 130 pages every quarter keep those dreamy vibes alive through stories written in the most beautiful prose.
I’ll stop here because it might sound like I’m advertising, but if you don’t know *200*, I invite you to discover it. It’ll give you wings for the most incredible challenges or simply reinforce your desire for slow rides with your eyes open to others and nature.
A little news to wrap up: Axel Carion and a friend just broke the record for crossing South America from Colombia to Ushuaia in 59 days. On its own, that doesn’t mean much, but I can’t help it—it makes me dream. You should see how he talks about it, the flashes of that wild nature he’s stored away: a snowstorm at Paso Jama and the surreal sight of the suddenly snow-covered Licancabur!
Luc
PS: The magazine is called *200* because a day’s ride starts at 200 km—well, I’ve never done a ride like that since my longest was 167 km (with 18 kg of luggage, mind you), but why not one day? The magazine will explain how to tackle your first 200, and then the question in conclusion: when will you do your first 300?😏
I’ve got my flight ticket sorted—departing in mid-November and returning in mid-March. I’ll arrive in Santiago and leave from Buenos Aires.
I’ve already been to southern Argentina, specifically Torres del Paine National Park, and I’d love to go back to do the full W trek (I only did the shorter version last time).
I also want to do some hiking and maybe even tackle a summit. I climb and occasionally do some mountaineering, so I’ll definitely be going with a guide.
I plan to start around Temuco in Chile, with the idea of heading toward the lakes, then taking the Carretera Austral.
I’m not sure if I’ll go all the way to Ushuaia—it’s supposed to not be *that* worth it, except for the bragging rights of saying you’ve been to the end of the world.
I saw there are lakes in Argentina too.
I don’t have a precise itinerary, but what I’d love is, once I reach the southernmost point of my trip, to take a mini-cruise to see some wildlife. Any tips for that?
What kind of sleeping bag did you take? Is a 0°C (32°F) one enough?
And one last question: white gas stove or can I get by with my gas stove?
I'm developing a free and open-source web app for planning walking and cycling trips (and even car trips). You can create a route by clicking directly on the map to add waypoints, and it can consist of multiple stages. The app provides tools to edit the stages and the overall route, and to display useful information (distances, altitudes, and elevation changes). A relief profile can be shown as a graph for a specific stage or the entire route.
Once the route is ready, it can be exported as a GPX file, which can then be used with a GPS or a mobile navigation app.
The app is built in JavaScript and runs entirely in the web browser. It uses the Leaflet library and several OpenStreetMap-based services. Initially developed for my personal needs (I enjoy hiking and cycle touring), I’d be happy to share it with anyone who might find it useful. It’s free to use, doesn’t require an account, and the source code is available.

Hello,
We’d like to go on a 3- to 4-month bike trip starting in December, crossing from Assam (northeast India) to New Delhi via Nepal.
Are there routes with light traffic along the Brahmaputra and through Nepal?
We’re also looking for any info on accommodations, wild camping, local interactions, etc.
Thanks,
Michel
I’m planning to cycle from Morlaix to Brest (via Roscoff and the V45 coastal route). We’ll start riding on August 16th for 13 days (with stops for island visits, surfing, etc.). Is there a lot of traffic at this time of year? I’ve got two kids, 11 and 13, and we don’t like riding in the middle of cars (we’ve already done the Vélomaritime—Caen to Cherbourg—the Loire route from Orléans to Saumur, the Vélodyssée from Nantes to Royans, and the canals like the Nivernais and Bourgogne, where there were plenty of bike-only lanes, which isn’t the case on this route).
Thanks for your help if you’ve already done this route in late August!
Virginie
Hi there,
I’ve been road cycling for several years, and I’m about to switch to gravel in the next few days—I’m waiting for my bike, which should arrive this week.
I’m planning a bikepacking trip in a few weeks along the Véloroute V81, also known as the Vélosud, from Biarritz to Le Barcarès.
Has anyone here already done this route? Any info is welcome, whether it’s about the route itself, gear, or accommodation. I’ll prioritize staying with locals as much as possible. On that note, I just signed up for the brand-new site *Guidon et Couette* ((www.guidon-et-couette.fr)), which offers free accommodation between cyclists across the country, but there’s almost no one listed along my route!
Thanks in advance.
Laurent.
Hi there, I’m planning a cross-Canada bike trip, and I’ve got a question that might seem silly, but could someone tell me how to pack a bike (in a box, with a fragile sticker... I don’t know) for a flight? Thanks in advance!
This summer, we’re planning to cycle along the EV 19 that follows the Meuse River from Langres all the way to Rotterdam.
My question is about getting back to Nantes.
Do any of you know what the best return option might be? I’d love to hear about your experiences.
I saw that FlixBus doesn’t take bikes.
By train, I think it’s possible but would involve multiple local trains.
We were also wondering if there’s a boat from Rotterdam to Saint-Nazaire that could take passengers with bikes.
Any tips or experiences you can share would be really helpful—thanks in advance!
Have a great evening
I’ve gotten used to crossing Europe by bus to return by bike.
It was really convenient to take the bike without having to disassemble it.
But FlixBus no longer accepts bikes...
What alternatives do you know about?
Thanks.
