Bikespokes

A van based mobile cycle repair and hire service covering Moray and Nairnshire in NE Scotland working at your home or workplace to save you the hassle of getting your bike to a shop, but this is not about fixing bikes! This is about what a bike mechanic does on a day off, or on the perfect holiday - a long bike ride across a little bit of Europe.....

You might call it Bikepacking or to some it might be Cycle Touring, but whether you go for a couple of hours or a couple of months - it's just about exploring our world on two wheels.

Countries explored so far: Scotland, England, France, Spain, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Slovakia, Czechia, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia.

And just like that, it's over😟. Despite the various offerings of the last two days (horrible traffic, bleak landscapes, and epic thunderstorms). I'm very, very sad to be stopping as it's been a fantastic adventure. My wee legs won't know what to do with themselves tomorrow!
