Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

In the file tread pattern yes, in the knobblier pattetn, now upto 40mm.

I thought they were doing the file tread at 40c? Am sure I've seen someone.

they also do 650b gravelking in 38 and 44 both with the file pattern

Looking on their site, gravelking sk (knobbly one) 32 & 40, gravelking (file one) upto 32.

Mad crushin' on Stefan Rohner right now

Looks like he's using 38c Pasalas ?

@spotter always bringing the goods

Yeah! I've been following him on Instagram, so good.
That pic looking out from the tent!!! I can't wait for some of that!

Great shots. So looking forwards to summer.

My mind became slightly distracted at work looking at those photos.

I've been looking into summer trips all day...

They pictures just make me want to quit my job, disown my family and go cycle the world. Anyone care to join me? ;-)

i'm in after doing the same

Edit - stupid phone

Any tips for bike packing/camping with a toddler?

Make sure littl'un will be warm/dry if you end up riding on a wet day even in summer. You'll be warm 'cos pedalling, they'll get cold quickly.

Otherwise, enjoy!

We did train & bike last July was great but last day we took lift instead of ride to train back as it was heavy cold rain and we were unprepared for long slow ride in weather that bad.

Will add a pic or two, erm, four shortly.

how did you go with the yepp mini and your knees etc? i always felt like riding on a clown bike, but then again my geometry was straight top bar stuff on the masi cx. Now running a yepp maxi on the back, and suddenly I can ride 20km+ comfortably instead of 8 in a silly fashion.

Excellent pictures! Thanks for the advice/inspiration :-)

felt like riding on a clown bike,

Very much this, less so on inbred though. I just put up with it, she's not far off outgrowing it now. Considering options for between then & her riding solo/tag along, Yepp seat at back would be great.

No worries, enjoy :)

It's not without drawbacks. That much weight on the back needs a heavy rack too, and the front feels twitchy and handling is weird-ish. Also my little girl keeps pulling down my undies, pulling at my chrome bag and surprises me with sudden shifts in balance. All the other people cannot immediately see you have a child on the back, so you're the ranting crazy cyclist, pulling up from behind and saying things like "Last warning, stop it right now or there's no more Peppa Pig" or "Shall we sing a song? What about ba ba blacksheep?"

What's the best bell?

edit: but seriously, I wouldn't bother with expensive fancy bells. Any of these should be fine http://en.hollandbikeshop.com/bicycle-accessories/bicycle-bells/bicycle-bell-sports/?page=1

Crane E-NE, it's a copy of one of those fancy pants American ones. Super loud and clear. It's also got an excellent mounting system.

No idea how functional but thought these clean...
