Challenge: It is an experiment for us as well, so we would ask you to do your own research on how your bike should function regarding on your physical condition and endurance.

We try to organise as much as possible, but to make this trip as a whole group we are depending on your initiative.

Workshops: In collaboration with the Bike Kitchen Vienna you will have the possibility to participate in workshops to pimp your bike for the tour. There will be a general workshop for bike repairing and adjusting plus a workshop to build proper bike bags, if you don’t have the luxury of owning a pair. The workshops will take place in the week before the kabaret (last week of july). We are still arranging the precise dates and will update you on that soon.

Luggage: take only what you can carry on your bike. We only take your tents and film equipment in the cars. Clothes and personal stuff has to be transported by you. Think about tying everything to your bike, bike bags on your rack, or bike trailers. Its a pain in the ass to carry stuff on your back. We suggest you to not take more than 10kg with you.
