Discover interesting stories about Straede and follow Freddy's solo bikepacking trip to the North Cape.
Hello! I'm Joaco, though here in Poland, where I've been living for the past three years, people know me as “Hlakin”. I'm originally from Argentina, and my life here is a blend of organizing video game events and dedicating time to my two main hobbies: photography and cycling. In this blog, I want to show you a different side of Mallorca. Yes, it’s a cyclist's paradise, but it also has cafés worth discovering.
Hey, I'm Denisa. Together with my partner Amaury, we are two solo travelers who met because of their love for the mountains – a year later, we traded solo traveling for traveling side by side. Denisa, who sometimes spends more time in her tent than in her bed. Amaury, whose whole life is bikes: riding them, building them, working with them.
In the summer, Lukas and Caro, the founders of straede, traveled through Germany to visit our local crew rides and exchange ideas with the participants.
18 years. 38 days. 3700 kilometers. One goal: Freddy wants to reach the North Cape solo after graduating from high school. A journey that pushes him to his limits not only physically but also mentally. Left to his own devices, he reports daily what concerns him.
Weekly updates every Wednesday.
