In this video the participants try the freakbikes of Radi Vidi Pats in Latvia. Different varieties of tallbikes or a tandem where you cycle face to face are pretty strange cycling-expieriences. Or other balance and body control challenges such as pushing another cyclist with the fully loaded trailer up a super steep hill. Or just turnig in circles.

We just went through the photos from the past Biketours and discovered some that are so ridiculously photogenic that they could be from an advertisement!
As you might have read in our belarus border chaos blog post, getting into Belarus wasn’t easy for us, and our visa application was rejected several times, and then we were rejected on the border several times. When we were preparing the tour, we were not finding a lot of information on how to do this, and the information that we found was often contradictory or simply wrong. Even the border police of Belarus themselves often gave us wrong information or didn’t know how things work. So here is the ultimate guide on how to get a group of cyclists into…

We reached the our first host in the latvian capital shortly before midnight after our hardcore cycling day. It was the Kreicbike-workshop. A place where loads of crazy custom- and freakbikes are built. Also motorized ones. It was an impressive place with tons of tools and equipment. They were also related to Radi Vidi Pats, the other freakbike-workshop we were visiting earlier in Liepaja. Unfortunately, here we didn’t feel as well as…

After having survived the hippie-festival the biketour was heading Riga. We had 2 days to make the ~170km. Quiet tough, regarding that normally, we do normally between 40 and 80 kilometers per day… But we had a good road and not really any questions about the way. Just all the time along the coast. Never ending pinewoods on both sides of the road, every now and then a tiny village. Just cycling…

Here some late impressions from the last bit: In Estonia some people build houses and boats with local material and traditional knowledge for get a 300 dollar loan online right now. … use small and big rocket stoves… … and transform trash to art.

Hallo werte Blogleserinnen und Leser! Lukas berichtet euch aus Lettland: Uns wurde ein Festival empfohlen, eine Zusammenkunft verschiedener Eco-Communities in Mazirbe am Meer. Klingt nicht schlecht, dachten wir uns und haben kurzer Hand unseren Plan etwas umgestellt. Da wir sowieso mehr Rad fahren wollten, wir waren ja schießlich auf einer Radtour, kam uns dieser Umweg sehr gelegen. Am Donnerstag Abend sind wir angekommen. Wir haben uns alle sehr gefreut, Stas von Radi Vidi Pats wieder zu treffen. Er hat mitgeholfen dieses Festival zu organisieren. Dann kamen 2 Männer an, von denen einer uns überschwänglich mit „Hello brothers and sisters!“ und…

As we really enjoyed our time visiting lots of interesting places around Tartu, we decided to leave a new post to share some stuff we really considered to be worth mentioned here. We came to visit an selforganized garden-project, called „Vaksali kogukonna aed“. They are located at a nice spot next to the mainrailwaystation. The place is surrounded by an old building which was once used as police station and now works…
