Bonjour,

je me suis attellé ce week-end à la remise en forme de mon vtc : changement chaine, dégraissage et lubrification des déraileurs, dévoilage des roues, ...

J'ai fait une bourde toutefois : j'ai dégraissé puis huilé les roulements à billes de mon moyeu arrière 🤪. Je me suis rendu compte der mon erreur le soir. Je n'ai pas utilisé mon vélo depuis ces réparations, pour ne pas abimer le moyeu.

Pensez-vous que Décathlon serait à même de peaufiner ma révision et de graisser et remettre à niveau mes moyeus, changer mon dérailleur avant, ou bien me conseillez-vous de m'orienter vers un artisan local ?

Merci d'avance.

Bonjour à tous, cyclo touriste de tous poils. 🙂

Tout d'abord bonne année à tous, qu'elle se déroule agréablement, et à coup de pédale.

si je vous écris, c'est que j'aurais besoin de tout renseignement que vous pourriez fournir sur les remorque pour vélo. En effet, je suis en école d'ingénieur, et je dois fournir un rapport sur une étude de brevets, et comme toute cyclorandonneuse qui se respecte, j'ai choisi les remorques pour vélo😎.

Je pense que les plus aptes à en parler sont les utilisateurs, et c'est pourquoi je vous demande vos conseils. Quelle remorque avez vous, ses avantages, ses inconvenients, quels problemes techniques rencontrés?

Merci à tous ceux qui prendront le temps de me livrer leur impression, qu'ils aient ou non une remorque.

encore bonne année, prenez soin de vous, VFiste de france, de navarre ou d'ailleurs. ( promis la prochaine fois, je vous parle de mes projets ou n'importe quel sujet plus attrayant...)😛

Bonjour à tous,

Je me posais une petite question pratique pour transporter le vélo.

Quel est le meilleur moyen pour transporter son vélo en avion, lorsque le point d'arrivée en avion (Vancouver par exemple) n'est pas le même que le point de départ (Montréal par exemple) ? L'utilisation d'une housse en avion est bien pratique, mais qu'en faire à l'arrivée ?

Merci pour vos conseils.

Bonjour, j'aimerai poser une question aux professionnels de voyage en vélo.

Bonjour,

Nous avons un petit garçon de 6 mois et souhaitons voyager avec lui à vélo.

Nous souhaitons avoir des retours d'expérience de parents ayant trimbalé leur enfant comme ça (sur de longs parcours). à partir de quel âge y avez-vous mis votre enfant, et avez-vous prévu un adaptateur pour un bébé qui ne tient pas encore bien assis ? votre remorque comporte-t-elle des amortisseurs, pour diminuer les vibrations ? est-ce mieux que l'ouverture regarde face ou dos à la route (poussières)? remorque tout tissu (légèreté) ou coque plastique (plus sécuritaire ?) ? quelle est la marque/modèle de votre remorque et à quel prix avez-vous déniché votre merveille ? quels inconvénients avez-vous noté : par temps de pluie, par grosses chaleurs... BB s'est-il ennuyé, et combien de temps rouliez-vous par jour ?

Merci beaucoup pour vos réponses.

Bonjour, Nous partons en NZ en février 2005 pour 1 mois. Nous partons avec nos velos et nos remorques BOB. Problème : le poids ! Les 20 kgs : info ou intox? La compagnie nous impose 20 kgs par personnes! Sachant qu'avec le vélo + la remorque nous sommes déjà à 20 kgs... et que le kgs en plus est facturé 40 euros... Nous avons droit à 10 kgs en bagages en cabine à condition de respecter un certain volume je pense. Si vous avez des expériences là dessus. Nous partons avec air france jusqu'à Paris puis singapour airline jusqu'à Christchurch. Devons nous négocier à l'embarquement? De combien pouvons nous dépasser raisonnablement le poids autorisé? Devons nous laisser tomber et louer les vélos sur place? A vos claviers. merci Bozzo

Quelqu'un a déjà voyagé en vélo en Écosse? Ou? Quand? Comment? Des suggestions?

:)

Bonjour,

Quel vélo pour débuter ? Est-ce possible d'améliorer un VTC de base sachant que mon premier essai sera Geneve-Ardèche-Geneve et un peu plus tard Geneve-Slovénie-Geneve. Ce sera donc de la route et pour le matériel ce sera une tente et le matos de base pour une semaine.

Merci de vos conseils

Bonjour!

Je fais appel a vos savoirs et bonne volonte pour me renseigner.

Possedez vous une carriole enfant? Quelle marque/modele? Quels en sont les avantages/inconvenients?

Merci, nous essayons d'en choisir une mais le manque d'info est assez immense...

Salut tout le monde,

je desire voyager en velo sur des periodes de 1 ou 2 mois pour commencer.

Je fais essentiellement de la route (velo de course) je dois donc m'acheter un autre velo pour ce genre de voyage.

Pourriez-vous me conseiller sur l'achat d'un bon velo avec un budget inferieure a 1500 euro.

Velomaz m'a conseillé un BMC (marque suisse) et d'autre le T800 etc...

Quels sont les elements essentielles a exiger (type de cadre, type de frein etc...) pour partir l'esprit tranquille. Sans se demander si le materiel tiendra bon 😉

Merci de faire partager votre experience 🙂.

Bonjour!

Je souhaiterais prochainement m'acheter un vélo. Savez-vous quel genre de vélo est recommandé pour des voyages. Poids, équipement, roues, guidon, selle, cadre, ... bref, le genre. Je ne suis pas très informée sur ce genre de détails car je suis débutante dans ce domaine.

Tout aide et infos sont les bienvenues! Merci bcp d'avance et bonne journée à tous!

Hello,

Will there be anyone cycling in South Korea in September? Will there be anyone cycling in southern Japan in October?

I’m planning to arrive in Seoul at the very beginning of September, cross the country, then take a boat to Japan at the end of September. My route isn’t set yet, but I won’t go any farther north than Osaka. I’ll be heading back at the end of October.

I’ll be camping or bivouacking, with some hikes here and there. I’ll be doing between 0 and 100 km a day—it all depends on the climbs, the people I meet, the landscapes, and the weather.

It’d be great to share part of the journey with other cyclists. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Christine, 58, from Belfort, Franche-Comté, currently on a long break to travel.

Avid bike-travel enthusiast looking for a senior teammate from ARLON (Belgium) to TRONDHEIM. Nights in campsites, bivouacs.... Departure late June - early July. I suggest a one-week ride from Paris to Arlon to get to know each other and plan the route, duration, etc. No athletic feat (50–70 km/day, or 4–6 hours/day), just riding at the pace of our encounters and desires. Interested in this project? Don’t hesitate! Contact me! Looking forward to hearing from you, Marie

hey everyone,

I’m landing in Madagascar with a buddy before the end of April 2026. We’re planning to bike around for about twenty days or so. We don’t have a specific goal other than exploring the country and meeting the locals.

Ideally, we’d prefer a loop route starting from Antananarivo with a good chunk of it along the coast. On the bike side, we’re used to riding 6 to 8 hours a day, depending on the needs, encounters, and mood 😉 Any feedback or tips from trips around this length?

Thanks in advance, Jérôme

Hi! I’m planning to visit the Stockholm Archipelago by bike in early April. Do you know if the boats will be running between the different islands at that time of year? For those who’ve already been, all your tips and recommendations are welcome—accommodation, etc. Also, do you know where I can rent a bike in Stockholm? Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Hi there, we’re planning a Munich to Venice bike trip at the end of June 2026. Getting back from Venice to Toulouse by train with 4 bikes isn’t straightforward. What return options have others who’ve done this trip chosen? Any tips or great deals would be much appreciated. Thanks a bunch! !

Hi there, We're thinking of cycling from Lisbon to Vila Real de Santo António in March. Staying at campsites along the way. I have two logistics questions: 1) Where to leave the van in Lisbon? Would it be okay to leave it a bit outside Lisbon if needed? 2) Can we take the train back from Vila Real de Santo António to Lisbon with our bikes? Thanks for any insights! Momo

I have 5 months left to prepare for the most ambitious project of my life...

In 5 months, I’ll hit the road, heading to Nepal. Not by plane. Not by train. But by bike.

13,000 km, 18 countries crossed. Powered only by my legs, my will, and a dream.

This journey isn’t just a physical challenge. It’s:

🌍 A human and cultural adventure, meeting locals, landscapes, and traditions. 🌱 A meaningful project: discussing climate change and, above all, listening to those who experience it daily. 🔥 An inner quest, to push my limits and inspire others to step out of their comfort zones. A message of hope for self-discovery.

I have 20 weeks left to: ✅ Finalize my route ✅ Gather the budget and equipment ✅ Sort out the logistics ✅ And most importantly… find committed sponsors to bring this adventure to life.

Any help is welcome!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a cycling trip in Algeria and looking for concrete firsthand accounts from cyclists who’ve recently traveled there (or residents who know the terrain well). My goal is to map out a realistic 2–4 week itinerary that prioritizes discovery, safety, and solid water/bivouac management.

My profile and gear

Semi-bivouac autonomous cyclist (light tent + sleeping bag + stove), with the option of simple accommodations in towns.

All-road/gravel bike with a rear rack, 40–45 mm tires (I can go up to 47–50 mm if needed).

Compact drivetrain with a small gear range for climbing while loaded.

Modular water capacity of 4–7 liters (soft flasks + bottles), plus a filter and purification tablets as backup.

Navigation via offline maps + GPS, GPX tracks if available.

Planned period

Late winter/early spring (timing to be refined based on your feedback about weather, wind, and day/night temperature swings). I’d love a seasonal breakdown: which areas are more pleasant/rideable during this time? Are there zones to avoid while others become ideal?

Preferred itinerary style

High plateaus and accessible Saharan fringes for a loaded bike, alternating between secondary roads and rideable tracks.

Moderate pace (60–90 km/day depending on terrain and wind), with stops in resource towns to restock, shower, and rest.

Safety and logistics (water/supplies) take priority over pure athletic performance.

My specific questions for those who’ve cycled in Algeria 1) Routes and areas

Which roads/tracks did you enjoy for their scenery and interest without being too rough for a loaded gravel bike?

If you’ve ridden the high plateaus: which connections do you recommend to avoid traffic and stick to small roads?

Saharan fringes: which sections are realistic for partial autonomy (reasonably spaced water points, rideable tracks, not too much soft sand)?

Areas to avoid by bike (recently) due to security, road conditions, katabatic winds, construction, etc.?

2) Water and supplies

How frequent were water points on your routes: reliable wells? taps? sources in towns/villages?

In “desert” sections, how many liters did you carry between secure points? Does a 6–7 L capacity seem comfortable, or should I aim for more on certain stretches?

Food: small shops, markets, availability of basics (semolina, sardines, dates, biscuits, powdered milk, etc.) — how often can you reasonably restock?

Filtration: did a filter + tablets suffice? Are there areas where you’d advise against filtering from unprotected wells?

3) Bivouacking and accommodations

Tolerance for discreet bivouacking (far from dwellings, leave-no-trace): recent experiences?

Simple alternatives: guesthouses, small hotels/hostels, campgrounds (if any), municipal lodgings?

Practical stopover towns for restocking, resting, and securing your bike overnight: reliable spots or neighborhoods to prioritize/avoid?

4) Roads, tracks, and weather

Road surface quality on secondary routes: generally decent or highly variable?

Tracks: rideable (compact gravel, laterite) or sometimes sand/washboard? At what tire width would you recommend switching (45 vs. 50 mm)?

Prevailing winds this season: direction, strength, most exposed hours; do you adjust your departures to ride “before the wind” in the morning?

Temperatures: day/night range; sun protection (long gloves, buff, sunscreen, sunglasses), managing nighttime cold at altitude or in the open desert.

5) Safety, formalities, and connectivity

Recently discouraged zones (please note the date if possible).

Roadside checks: which documents to keep handy; are there specific registrations or declarations required upon arrival or when moving between wilayas?

Local SIM/data: which operators work well on the routes you took; tips for recharging/buying credit.

Useful apps/maps on the ground (and reliable offline maps) for locating water, grocery stores, garages, accommodations, rideable segments, etc.

Bike security: how did you handle anti-theft and parking during errands/overnight stays?

6) Gear and adjustments

Recommended minimum gearing for loaded climbs on local roads/tracks.

Ideal tire width and casing (puncture resistance on gravel and rocks).

“Sweet spot” water capacity based on your experience (and tips: frame bags, extra bottles on the fork, bladders in frame bags, etc.).

Maintenance: dust/sand — greases/seals, drivetrain cleaning frequency, breathable filters, protective socks for zipped panniers.

Sample itinerary outline (to validate with your feedback)

Week 1: Arrival, adjustments, high plateaus, linking resource towns to get into the rhythm, test supplies and water.

Week 2: Accessible Saharan fringes, alternating road/track, nights in discreet bivouac when possible + simple accommodations every 3–4 days.

Week 3–4 (optional): Extend toward a second Saharan area or head back to a more temperate zone depending on weather/wind, prioritizing routes known to cyclists.

If you have GPX tracks (even partial), waypoints (water, grocery stores, accommodations), or a travel journal with dates, I’d love to see them. Dated info (year/month) will help me weigh what may have changed recently.

What I can share in return

After the trip, I’ll publish a detailed report with:

Final itinerary + cleaned GPX tracks,

List of confirmed water points and open supply spots,

Gear review (tires, gearing, water capacity),

Notes on bivouacking/accommodations and safety,

Budget and daily distances, to help future travelers.

Thanks in advance for your tips, warnings, good addresses, and updated feedback. Your experience is invaluable for planning a safe, smooth, and enjoyable cycling route in Algeria. Happy trails! 🚴

Good evening, We go on a cycling trip abroad every year for about twenty days. Obviously, we prefer small roads to discover a country. Is it possible to explore Poland mainly by taking small roads? Apart from the beautiful cities (Kraków, Warsaw, etc.), are there any regions worth discovering by bike? Thanks in advance for your replies. Jean-lucbergot

Hi everyone here who loves cycling, I’m planning a 5-week trip next January in Uganda: a little tour of 1,200 to 1,500 km crossing the most beautiful spots and reserves in the country. Route to be defined together. I’m looking for someone to join me.

Interested? Nicolas (72 years old)

Hi there, Has anyone here cycled in the Canary Islands in August? Is it not too hot? Not too crowded on the roads? Thanks

Hi everyone, I’d love to bike from Lyon to Marrakech or Agadir. I’m looking for someone around my age (23) to join me. I’m also after some tips on routes, things to know, etc. This road trip is planned for September 2026. Looking forward to your replies and advice!

Hey fellow cyclists, Cyclists on trails, paths, or greenways—why do so few (if any) of you use your bells to warn walkers, runners, and other pedestrians when they’re moving in the same direction as you? I exercise every day (brisk walking) among you in France and abroad, and it’s something I’ve noticed—often with a few scares (and I’m guessing some accidents between cyclists or with pedestrians). Personally, I always stick to the rules, walking on the left (facing traffic) so I can see you coming, but not everyone does that—neither pedestrians nor cyclists, and let’s be honest, it’s a bit of a free-for-all. 🤪 Your bikes make little to no noise, so why take risks and put others at risk too? A quick, light *ding-ding* would be enough to warn people—what do you think? 😅

Hello, I’m looking for cycling buddies to bike back from the Mount Ararat region (northeastern Turkey) to Cappadocia, passing through Lake Van. The rest of the route will be decided based on points of interest. We’ll spend several days exploring Cappadocia by bike—it’s huge! From early to late October. Expect some serious elevation gain in this part of the country. We’ll camp or stay in accommodations depending on what’s available. Actually, I’ll be leaving France a bit earlier to attempt the ascent of Mount Ararat (5,137m). I’m 57 years old, have been traveling by bike for a good ten years, and I’m also passionate about mountains. Looking forward to hearing from you! Christine
