news-4755 Tue, 10 Jan 2023 08:40:03 +0100 VAEGABOND - Our 2022 & Visa chaos for India https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-unser-jahr-2022-visa-chaos-fuer-indien Our 2022 & Visa chaos for India
Whoosh and another year on our world trip from Germany to Japan is over. Incredible, now it's been more than 3 years since we left Germany on our bikes. So we captured our most significant moments of the past 20 countries in this special 4 minute video. By this point we're hitting the streets of Asia with our fully packed travel bikes. Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Pakistan and India - these were the countries, that we connect something special with as well in 2022. Every country in its own way. Either culinary, because of the amazing witnesses with the natives, the incredible landscapes or even total flooding, because of an armed police protection close to the border of Afghanistan or the Visa chaos for India...
At the beginning of the year we still spent a lot of time in our secret favourite country - Georgia! Hardly any other country on our route has so many zigzag lines, circles and other special stuff. Over there we could barely get enough from Khinkali (filled dumplings) and Khachapuri (the best bread topped with cheese in the world). Of course there's also the beautiful nature around the Kaukasus mountains, which also shapes the landscapes of Armenia. The best view on these massive landscapes are found on our YouTube channel VAEGABOND. By the way you can find the latest travel document of our world tour in Season 5: Georgia and Armenia.
After Armenia we went on to Iran. There, the word „chaos on the streets“ got a whole new meaning in Teheran and all of a sudden we could only smile over the traffic chaos in the past big cities. After having seen the beautiful city of Isfahan, we absolutely wanted to the desert, through which we cycled for multiple days - without any water sources or grocery stores around. We challenged the hot desert ride and were rewarded with a unique landscape. The incredible width and a abandoned caravanserai made this stage an unforgettable experience. Another highlight was the persian gulf, where among other things we explored the stunning vulcano island Hormuz, where there was a new surprise waiting for us around every corner. Colorful salt mountains, silver glittering beach next to pink sand, a relaxed athmosphere and tasty seafood. Then came Pakistan, a country, that after 3 years was by far the most adventorous up to this point. On the day of the border crossing we cycled extra fast so we could enter Pakistan before the borders closed. We had already heard of the armed police protection, that would await us, that followed us for around 600km through the entire region of Baluchistan. The reason for the escorts is the sensitive border to Afghanistan and social tensions in the region. We arrived on the Taftan border in time and rolled with our bikes to the pakistani border guards, who we showed our Visa. Then the shock. Invalid! What?

Apparently we were issued only a provisional document, that did not permit us to enter Pakistan. Because of that, our border guard's phone lines started glowing hot, so we could enter Pakistans on the same day. Though, unsuccessfully. Disappointedly, were sent back to the iranian border. The border guard was already awaiting us, I mean it was just before the borders closed and we were the last ones trying to cross. Having just arrived at the gate, we heard a shrill whistle coming from behind us. We were so lucky! We were permitted to enter Pakistan in the last moment! We spent the first night in Pakistan in the police station. For our safety. The next morning we and our bikes were loaded into thousands of different police pick up trucks. Unfortunatly we, as tourists were not allowed to cycle on our own and so we switched the responsibles and the car ca. every 5 to 10 kilometers.

The water switched up and a sandstorm was followed by buckets of rain. We had to spend the second night on the police station as well, when we were woken up in the middle of the night: „Water ist coming“. The police station drowned in a matter of minutes and we had to flee on the roof. The next day we could see the extent of the flooding – standing the water reached our hips and we waded to the next empty road, that was luckily raised. We were accomanpied day and night by police officers for one week, until we realized, that there were even more escort awaiting us outside of Baluchistan. But this time were allowed to roll over the road with out bikes on our own. We were often given fruits and we quickly agreed, that the dried fruits from the north of Pakistan were the best we've ever ate.
On the second highest plateau in the world, the Deosai national park, we not only enjoyed our independency from the police, but also the huge landscape around us, that's also one of the most beautiful, that we've ever come by with our bikes. Here, we met nomadic people and among other things Himalaya brown bears too, that wandered around our tent in the night. Luckily they weren't really interested in us and no incident happened - except that the air got really thin and we actually suffered from mountain sickness on another pass crossing... But that's another story. The stuff that's happened in Pakistan reminded us especially of our daily witnesses with the police in Morocco all around the atlas mountains, but also of the other adventures that we went through there. We actually worked on our first book while we were in Morocco.  „Verreist, verfolgt, verheiratet. Eine abenteuerliche Radreise durch Marokko“ (away, followed, married. An adventurous bike tour through Morocco) was now finally published and is available in different versions (i.a. colored, or as an e book). We are extremly proud and sincerely want to thank everyone, that helped us realize this book project! You can find our first world bike tour on Amazon and in book stores (ISBN 9783756559893). More information under: vaegabond.com/buch
We're now in the 21rst country of our world bike tour, in India. It seems that the past 3 years bike tour over mountains and valley, through the desert, through the snow, against the wind and through continous rain, were the excact right training for India. India is different, India is special. It is chaotic, it is loud, it is dirty, there are no traffic rules except left-hand traffic (if there are, we didn't notice them), it is full of people. It really seems like India has the monopol for the two words „too much“. But when you look behind this smog curtain, you see colorful Saris, laughing faces, amazing dishes, that taste different every 15 kilometers, and diversity in basically everything. We cannot describe it any better. You either like India or you don't. We for our part, feel very comfortable here. One thing we find very stressing though, is the bureaucratic insanity. For example to take a bike with you in a long-distance train or (and especially this) the organisation of the Visa.
Because we came from Pakistan we were only granted 3 months, while other travelers get 6 months or even years (they still have to leave after 90 days, but they can just come back in). After having calculated our budget, we organized a flight and a stay for us for 1 week in Vietnam. For our bikess and the luggage we organized a place in Mumbai. Just before our India visum ran out, everything took a turn again... The flights were suddenly canceled from the airline and we had to quickly come up with an alternative, that ended up being Muskat in Oman. Just arrived, we requested a new Visa for India, that should arrive us after 72 hours of processing time. Totally not! An entire week we shivered. Calling the visa office: unsuccessful, no one called back. Countless E-Mails with a detailed travel course and additional travel data: unsuccessful, no one replied. Contact to the german embassy: atleast someone replied there: still unsuccessful though.. It looked like we were stuck between two countries, because we didn't have a visum for the Oman either (no visum required for up to 14 days). We were just about to loose our minds. The flight was on Sunday and we would've never thought, that we'd open our long awaited papers on Saturday evening in our mailbox (we didn't expect things to go back upwards on the weekend). At the en of the day: we could happily go back to India and spend christmas and new years eve with a friend from Germany as well as Lisa & Dario from Erfahr ung der Welt (experience of the world) on the beach of Goa. We're totally exhausted, but still happy, that the south has so many beautiful and clean beaches. The last days we cycled to the beaches around and there's amazing food here.
We wish you all a successful and healthy start into 2023 and we're already excited, what adventures and witnesses await us this year!

Best wishes from on the way, Melli & Dani

It used to seem like a vehicle of the future: the racing solar mobile „Dyname“, which was designed and built by students of the university Kassel in 1987, together with vocational school teachers. One year earlier, Bernhard Rohloff, who had founded the Rohloff GmbH, specialized for bike chains with his wife Barbara, supported the team in the contruction of a light drive.
In one of Kassels professional schools, the Oskar von Miller school, everyone involved worked together to bring the oval-shaped capsule, which offered space for the pilot, on the street. On the roof a solar panel to power the engine. Goal: the Tour de Sol' 87, a quite new Solarrallye in Switzerland.

news-4736 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 10:50:39 +0100 VAEGABOND - Pakistan & India - anniversary & big plans https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-pakistan-indien-jubilaeum-grosse-plaene We're still totally blown away and still trying to process all these impressions and impulses! There were an incredible amount of changes again last month, which, of course, still concerns and amazes us! We'll try and put it into 3 simple sentences: 1. We're more than 3 years on our world journey by bike now - incredible! 2. We've crossed the border of Pakistan and India - in Country Nr.21! 3. We will realize our heart project soon - our first book!
But before that, we'll go back into our past days in Pakistan. Especially the North with its impressive mountains stunned us a lot. After cycling over the second highest high plateau in the world and the home of Himalaya bears, we went from Skardu to the beautiful Hunza Valles. There, we tried the best apples, pears and dried apricots in our whole life! The view onto the mountains all around was fantastic. Every now and then, there was a mountain, completely covered in snow, peaking through. The natives often laughed at us, when we told them, that Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze, is just under 3.000 meters high. In Pakistan, there's not only the K2 (highest mountain in Pakistan with 8.611m), there's also many other mountains beyond the 7.000 meters, that embellish the beautiful mountain panorama. Here, there are three massive mountain ranges meeting - the Himayalan Mountains, the Hindu Kush and the Karakoram. The Islamic Bath and the Kashgar are connected by the 1.300km long Karakoram Highway (KKH) in Westchina and the the highest set paved street in the world. Cycling this street was always one of our dream routes on our journey. The feeling of actually being there, was tremendous, even immense!
Given the fact, that we were already in the area, we couldn't resist but make our way to the highest set border crossing in the world and at the same time to the gate of the silk road. This border from Pakistan to China is located on the Khunjerab Pass (4.800m). Of course we knew, that because of COVID-19 this border crossing was unfortunatly closed and we couldn't cross it. Therefore it was very convenient, that we met two sympathic bikers from Lahore, who then brought us there as pillion riders. A few day later we coincidentally met again and because this really couldn't have been a coincidence anymore, we decided to travel to Natar Valley together. This region is famous for its dramatic landscapes. Though, this time, without our bikes and with their two motorcycles.
When it comes to streets we did experience a lot the past 20 years and we really thought it couldn't get any worse, but what they called a "street" in the Naltar Valley was outrageous and up to this point one of the most tiring and most dangerous stages, that we've experienced. The asphalt went down the drain after just a few meters. Big rocks and boulders made up the way. Every now and then there were slopes coming towards us which made even the motorcycles give up and we had to get off and push them. Lord, were we glad in that moment, that we didn't go by our heavy tourbikes. Plus the journey obviously went back the same way. The terrain even got so hard to handle, that we had to switch to a Jeep with all wheel drive, because going by motorcycle became impossible.
But even with a start like that, all the way up, at the end of the valley, there was a big surprise expecting us: two marvellous seas. One of them sparkled in a shining turquoise blue. The other one shined in shimmering green colours. The perfect place to celebrate our anniversary! Because 3 years go, exactly on this day, we left all our families, friends, the comfortzone and everything else behind us, to dare the adventure of our lifetime. We just published our most touching, most beautiful and most influencial moments over the past 3 years of traveling the world in our short movie.
Afterwards we continued on the bumpy Shandur Pass (3.738m), where the highest set Polo Festival of Pakistan is held annually, through the Phandar Valley, through the beautiful high mountain valley Chitral and back over the Islamic Bath to Lahore. Not too far away from the city, we went towards the Wagha Border. The border crossing from Pakistan to India, which is famous for its unsual border ceremony. Then, the time came and after circa 1,5h of border bureaucracy, country number 21 welcomed us on our bike world tour. Namaste India! To be honest we were glad that we cycled through Pakistan before so we could already tune in a little. Dani has been to India a few times before, he lovingly called Pakistan „India light“. And really. The food here is even spicier, the smells are even more intense, the colours are even more colourful, there are even more selfies and there and the amount of people is impossible to grasp... When it comes to India you could put a „much“ infront of every word that describes the country. The traffic is very chaotic, so it's very hard for cyclists to get through safely. But what's the saying again: every challenge makes you stronger! We're just cycling through the region Rajasthan, where we've already visited a rat temple with over 20.000 little rodents, the pink city Jaipur and admired the Palace of the Winds and just going through the streets of Pushkars with Millions of indians, to celebrate the famous Camel Festival. It's actually a livestock fair where especially camels are being traded. Unfortunatly we can't see that many camels, because this year, there is a flu going around amongst the animals. On the other hand the festival is also a big cultural event, which not only has a lot of market stalls and street food to offer, but also ride attraction to attract visiters. We were lucky enough to watch a ceremony in which the indians go for a so-called holy wash to wash all sins off of them. Afterwards ther was an amazing firework which technically made up the end of the festival. We're still in a party mood, because how I've already teased, we are totally excited! Three years after the beginning of our journey, we were able to put a very touching and meaningful stage on paper. If everything goes right, we'll publish our book „Verreist, verfolgt, verheiratet. Eine abenteuerliche Rundreise durch Marokko“ this December! Find more information here: https://vaegabond.com/buch/ There you can also take a look into the book.
We're already thrilled, what's going to happen in India and we'll update you!

news-4734 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 10:32:09 +0100 VAEGABOND - Pakistan - Police escorts, floodings, mountain sickness & bears https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegadond-pakistan-polizei-eskorte-ueberschwemmung-hoehenkrankheit-baeren New country, new adventures - and really every day! We've reached Pakistan with our bikes, country number 20 on our bike world tour. What we thought about that country, before we left the iranian border behind us? Well, to be honest, we no longer believe the media everything, how it's supposed to be in other countries. We'd rather make our own experiences, armed with the most necessary info. And this is what we can say: Pakistan, you surprised us since the first second! Your people are  heartfelt, your landscapes are unique and you're totally underrated as a travel country. 
But now from the start, because our arrival was already an adventure itself. We were greeted by Hamid on the iranian side of the border. He made sure, that all the paperwork was quite easy to pass off for us and then we pushed our fully packed bikes through the pedestrian part of the border. On the other side we were greeted just as friendly by three Pakis, who provided cold water for us right away. We gave them our Pakistan Visas. Invalid! What? Two months before, we had already requested them and already held a document in our hands, that said we were authorised to enter Pakistan. Nothing helped. Minutes became hours and everybody in Islamabad tried their best to get us able to arrive in Pakistan today. Unfortunatly unsuccessful. We were already the last border crossers and the iranian colleagues were called to open the gate back up for us. We couldn't believe it. So close. We did everything right didn't we? The iranian border guard was already waving at us and welcomed us back into the Iran. But the very last second, one of the helpful Pakis ran out of his house and told us, that Islamabad had answered. We were allowed to enter! Yayyyy! Though, we didn't get very far. Our passes were controlled again and we were sent from one pakistani border house to the other, where we had to note our names an incredible amount of times and the ones of our parents and we had to register ourselves in a lined school book. Then we were escorted for two minutes by a moped rider to the next police station, where we were supposed to spend the night. Us and our bikes were put into Pickups the next day plus the following days and we were transported through Balochistan. For safety reasons no tourist is allowed to walk feely without escorts here. We had to switch the Pickup countless times, because after just 5 Kilometers, there were other police officers from a new district, that were responsible for us. That often meant waiting for the next truck countless minutes, but luckily we had super nice police officers, that gave us water and snacks every now and then.
First we went to the desert, not long and the first sandstorm came up, followed by a stom, like we had never experinced it before. Regions were flooded, streets were underwater and so we had to cancel the ride and spend the night at a police station. It was just before midnight, when agitated voices woke us up. „Water is coming!“ This still haunts us today! The police station filled up within minutes and we fleed with all our stuff on the roof of the building. We could no longer sleep that night. The next morning, the water had only receded a little. After hours of discussions if the rest of the street was still flooded, we got the GO to continue. We waded through the waist high, dirtbrown water to the slightly elevated street, where a romanian biker was already waiting for us. Then we were escorted to Quetta, where we spend the night in prison. Well actually on the roof. After a lot of effort and bureaucracy, we recieved the permission to drive on. Of course with our police protection, that changed every 5km.
Right before Islamabad, we were finally free and could move around without the police. A news team discovered us on the street and interviews us about our world trip. After a short break in the capital of Pakistan, we went right on in the direction of Karakoram Highway. It is one of the highest set paved border crossing car streets and connects the autonomous region Xinjiang Uighur in China to Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan. Our happiness over being able to travel independently again was suddenly destroyed. After around 50km we were accompanied by the police again. This time though, we were allowed to go by bike. We went through beautiful mountain landscapes and around afternoon the weather got worse surprisingly fast. The current escort was made up of a pick-up again and the police officers offered us to load up our bikes on it. Rain and many heights awaited us. So of course we said yes. When we reached 4.100m at the Babusar Pass, Melli was extremly shivering. It was super cold and all the rain had gotten to her at the back of the car. So we were invited into the police cabin, which was stationed at the peak and we could warm ourselves with a plate of Daal Mash and Chai at the fireplace. We could sleep in a small room, which was moldy and drafty but at least it protected us from the rain.
The night was horrible. Both of us got a terrible headache, had trouble breathing, threw up and had diarrhea. So mountain sickness DID exist. The day before, we had gone too far up, too fast and now he had to pay for that. The reaction of the police officers: „Everybody gets sick up here for the first 3 days“. We had to get into lower heights as soon as possible, and after that, luckily, we were feeling better. And then we had suddenly reached him, the Karakoram Highway. An incredibly beautiful landscape appeared infront of us and was waiting to be explored. Soon after that, we branched off, because we really wanted to bike through the Deosai national park. It's found in the pakistani western Himalayas and is the second highest high plateau in the world. We broke our height record for the second time and had cycled to up to 4.200m now. Even if it was incredibly exhausting, Melli was pushing her bike more than biking, the view onto the giant landscape was just amazing. We had never seen something beautiful like that before. We cannot compare this Pakistan with any other country. Every now and then there were groups of nomads with their loaded pack horses.  
But it was not only an amazing nature spectacle concerning us, animals like bears were at home here too. So we started searching one camp after another, to put our tent there, because this way the chances of a bear attacking were lower. Bears actually started to walk around our camp nightly, but luckily WITHOUT any incidents. Exhausted, but happy we reached Skardu, where we made a pause from all those altimeters and finally had time to create new videos and posts. But our nerves were tested there too. There was only eletricity for ca. 1 hour per day and the internet connection constantly broke down. No good circumstances to work to look at the huge amount of films and videos. Still, we put all our effort in it (and also much time and money of course), even when sometimes it took really long, until we can produce something... For that reason we're really thankful to all the lovely people, that support us, for example on our membersite! By the way, there, you get early access to our videos, posts or access to our special podcast "Melli & Dani Spezial". Because this way we can take the time to produce, upload and release our posts and especially affort the calm workplace. Thanks to you all! Also, we would be really glad, if you'd donate us a plate of Daal Mash, so we can pepare the next advenureous story for you all refreshed.
In the next update we'll tell you about how we celebrated our anniversary – 3 years bike world trip in Pakistan!
Best wishes from on the way, Melli & Dani

The busy bees landed well with us: The bee houses on the grass next to the company building is always busy on the flight holes.
This way we take on the conservation of our ecosystem and offer a new home for around 200.000 bees. Further on, we want to share this big passion for the regional nature and the love for bees with other people. That's why, with this sponsorship, we support many promising projects with kindergartens, with schools, with institutions of social therapy and even with the correctional facility.

Now the tasty result of this cooperation is finally filled into jars and available in stores or even in the Onlineshop von Stadthonig.

news-4730 Thu, 27 Oct 2022 11:55:41 +0200 Tandem-Hilfe e.V. with Speedhub on tour https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/tandem-hilfe-ev-mit-speedhub-on-tour That was my season

 

I would've never thought, that my first active year would be so interesting and full of surprises. Sure, the first oh-experience was finding out i belong to a tandem. Man oh man, my siblings were already jealous, before I went on tour. And it started extraordinaly. While I was - polished to a high shine  - preparing for honored looks, i was sensitively touched by blind and visually impaired tandem bikers. They've already heard a lot of me and desperately tried to make me complete the newly aquirable double seat by my energetic drive ability.

And what should I say; after a tandem-season i claim: I used all my skill to be helpful; after all it was also about inclusion.

 

After being properly checked, i already heard the first appreciation, that casually came from a blind stoker to his pilot: „Then i can fix an error myself sometime.

It's so easy to take out and build in the back wheel with the R.S. and i mean; there's not much to clean up either. Even rain doesn't seem to bother him“.

The R.S. is me and i am only adressed by my last name - Rohloff. Additionally saying gear shift - o.k.

I could prove my skills in many different places:

First at the tandem-spring in the Spreewald. When there's a group of 15 tandems, people often stop and look. Everyone loved the tandem pilot being able to set his desired gear while standing. And even the tandem pilot heard the quiet click and could pepare for the start. I gave my best, also at the sandy floor.

Actual mountains were around Meiningen and Thuringia. Setting the gear on the mountain was of course no problem for me and for the tandem-team, that biked the first time together, it was a special experience, because right when you're not exactly sure how much your partner can give, I am a sweetheart. And at Tandem-Hilfe e.V. blind and visually impaired co-pilots are often on the way with pilots, that they didn't know before. I am active as a team builder in these cases, which I am very proud of. 

On the baltic sea there was constantly wind coming towards us. Luckily, in the front wheel, colleague engine helped out. We do also harmonise quite well otherwise. Sometimes though, he gets upset, when we get fast in the 14th course and he has to turn off at 25 km/h.

In Gifhorn and around, the team, which I was on the way with, could try out, how simultaneously and therefore harmoniously my gearing ratio could be increased. That obviously makes it go from two people on a tandem to a whole team.

Also in the Senftenberger Seeland I could show off my variability. The tandem pilot only said: „It's now going upwards, seemingly a former spoil heap; 12 percent rise“. The 2nd gear was actaully needed there; the co-pilot had of course just properly felt the mountain when it already became serious. I could help here too.

And named the meeting of the beginners „Tandem-Schnuppern“ (tandem-try out).

Again, it was the first time on a tandem for the pilot and the co-pilot had never ridden a tandem at all - well, try out. And what am I supposed to tell you: this might sound arrogant, but without me, some teams might've taken a little longer to get going. 

Usually I am not really the organization type-of-person, but i feel super comfortable at Tandem-Hilfen e-V. and especially I feel in the right place, because helping, that is is my thing

Meeting an ancestor, had me buzzing even more pleasantly in the free-wheel. There was actually a tandem, that has - equipped with one of my sisters already been on the way for 18 years and during this time it not only got to know Germany, but also Paris, Rome, Athens, St. Petersburg and all the other countries, that were on the way there.

It still doesn't show any signs of aging. Sets gears like always.

The Racing steel 853 Rohloff Gravel has a maximum wide range of uses – fast roads and terrain use, long distance travel bike, and sport vehicle all in one. The option is between wide 650B or thin 28″ impellers. The implementation on one of a split like this was connected to a row of technical adjustments: For example, the sliding dropout for tensioning the belt drive has been adapted to the modern Flatmount standard. This way actual shift brake lever units can be montated like in racing bikes, which just fits for Gravel handlebars. Racing steel adjusts the shifters to the customer's wishes, so that it can either be downshifted on the left and upshifted on the right or vice versa. This way not only a clean appearence is possible but also ergonomic switching of the 14 evenly spaced gears. To switch gears, you no longer need to change your grip on the usual twist grip. Shift and brake levers are ergonomically perfect in your hand. The slightly flared handlebar provides more control in terrain. This bike is designed for durability in all aspects. The steel frame has a cathodic dip coatin by which he is protected internally and on the outside from corrosion. Thanks to the standard belt drive, the bike impresses with minimal maintenance and a long service life - ideal for daily commuting to work in any weather. The in-house luggage rack consequently also allows an internal, well-protected light cable routing and allows the bike a payload of up to 165kg. The extra-long lamp holder from Falkenjagd ensures a perfect light image without shadows, even when the lowrider is mounted.

Ich habe mich an eine Begegnung vor ein paar Jahren erinnert: Ich traf eine blinde Frau, deren großer Traum es war, auf dem Fahrrad durch Japan zu fahren. – Unmöglich? Nein: Sie saß hinter ihrem Mann auf einem Tandem und wirkte sehr glücklich, fast euphorisch. While on my world tour I had a lot of time to think about for who circumnaigating the earth is as far as a trip to the moon. I remembered a encounter from years ago: I met a blind woman, whose dream it was to travel through Japan by bike. – Impossible? No: She sat behind her husband on a Tandem and seemed very happy, almost euphoric. news-4724 Wed, 11 May 2022 12:25:04 +0200 VAEGABOND - Iran – Mountains and Desert https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-iran-berge-und-wueste We're finally there, in Iran. Actually, we already wanted to go here in 2021, but most of the time things don't go as planned. Last year we were still in Turkey and the borders were all closed due to COVID-19. So unfortunately we coulnd't directly enter Iran. When Georgia opened it's borders back up we took a little turn to the North and then went over the green Georgia and Armenia to enter Iran. Almost an entire year later we're now in the 19th country of our world tour and again we're in a country. that we cannot compare to any other.

In Armenia there were still roads covered in snow and snowrain. In Iran, from the border on, there were dusty, dry roads and later the desert. Our clothes also changed. Atleast essentially those of Melli. In Iran women are obligated to wear a headscarf and a wide shirt, that covers their butt. Men should wear long pants. A little challenge with those rising temperatures.

Instead of going over the main route from the armenian border towards Täbris, we decided to go over a less full road over the mountains at the very beginning of our Iran trip. We took about two day to get into the next village. The landscapes around us were amazing, even when it started to rain. We now had the choice to follow our road or to take a little shortcut. The alternative offered by far less altimeters and even 15 les kilometers. Great! We thought! The first 7 kilometers were really nice, it went downhill and the driving surface was not even that bad. But one thing we totally missed, was that it had rained the past 7 days straight in this regon. You really shouldn't go these amazing shortcuts with unpaved ground and rain by bike. So we went through muddy hollows and all the dirt on the wheels completely blocked them so they woulnd't move for even one millimeter. Both of us started, pushing the bikes, but that didn't a lot of sense. One stayed with the bikes and the other one went looking if the way would get better. Actually, were just 3 kilometers ahead of us until we would hit the original road.

We thought about how smart it would be to just unload all luggage and tranport it all step for step, meter for meter. But then we had to admit that this adventure did seem a little hopeless, if we didn't want to push our bikes until late at night and arrive at the intersection totally annoyed. We were already wet and fully covered in mud anyways. So we turned around, pushed the bikes, that felt like they got heavier by hundredweights, until the ground got bette again and went the amazing way back. The mud, though, sticked to the rim and the brakes so persistently, that Mellis brake got completely blocked and she couldn't move her bike anymore. Now, not even pushing was possible anymore. Atleast we could now test our exchanged equipment, like the new Ortlieb backpacks, for their waterproofness and we can say - test passed!

Coincidentally, one of those little blue pack cars, that we had already seen out here, passed by. The man offered us to take one of the bikes to the next village. So one thing led to another and young iranians brought us to the garage of one of their fathers. Quickly many people surrounded us to watch Dani screw. At the back corner of the screw garage there was a gas hose being lit, that brought us comfortably warm fire. One of the men spoke good english and invited us to the the neighbour house to spend the night at his. There, he slept with his friend and his father in law after coming back from gold digging. Because there were goldmines nearby. We learned a couple of words in Farsi and got a first look at the culture. The next day we reached Tabriz where we straight up collided with a huge bike group. Again, we were invited and slept over at the group leader's that showed us the city. In the evening he brought us to break the fast on a mountain, where we ate together with many families and had a great view over Tabriz.

Our trip through Iran went on. We decided to meet our swiss bike friends Lisa & Dario from Erfahrung der Welt (Experience of the World), that were also in the country right now. We had already spent some time with them in Turkey and Georgia and they are also headed East with their bikes. They are on the opposite route through Iran and so they gave us a few helpful tips. Then we were headed for the iranian desert. We were alone for more than 350 kilometers, 90km of them without water, without villages and barely the trace of a human. The few cars, that passed by, stopped and the iranians in them gave us ice cold water and sweets. All of a sudden we had enough water. Melli's long clothes and the scarf around the head ended up proving themselves as very helpful. It was a good protection against the sun. The temperatures rised up to 36°C, which we could be glad about, because one week later they were supposed to rise over 40°C.

On the third day in the desert we saw a building flare up on the horizon. No, not a Fata Morgana. We arrived at a old, abandoned caravanserai. In some places she was dilapidated, but not any less impressive. The best ever – no one was there. We had the caravanserai for ourselves and went to explore. We couldn't have found a better place for the night. So we set up our indoor tent in one of the half open rooms and imagined, what this place must've looked like a long time ago. The caravanserai served as a contact point for travelers, a goods depot and a water source in the middle of the desert. Just amazing. After a week we had passed through the desert and we can say: again a unforgettable and terrific moment on our world tour!

Just like the countless encounters we had this month in Iran. Let it be in the capital of Iran, in Teheran, in Isfahan, in Yazd, in the many small villages inbetween or just on the steet. Again we met wonderful people, that showed us their everyday life and their culture and from who we could learn so much new stuff. Especially there encounters with the natives make this trip so unforgettable, so wonderful and unique.

Yesterday we could extend our Visa, yay! The Iran is just way too big and there's still so much to explore! We're looking forward to what further expects us on our trip!

Best wishes from on the way
Melli & Dani

news-4723 Tue, 05 Apr 2022 11:33:56 +0200 VAEGABOND - New equipment & a breakdown after 2,5 years of the world tour https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-nach-25-jahren-weltreise-neue-ausruestung-eine-panne After 2,5 of traveling around the world, new equipment & a breakdown Hello from Georgia! Again?! Oh yes, but let me tell everything from the start. We were back home for a short while. It was very nice seeing family and friends again. We were also able to take care of our damaged eqiupment there. Our bike world trip already has been going for over 2,5 years, more than 17.500km and 18 countries. We already went through extreme temperatures between -15°C and over 45°C as well as all kinds of weather conditions like snow, hail, floodings, rain, fog and even sandstorms in the Sahara. But our equipment also had to hold against different street conditions or high bike loads. Not to forget that we would use it all the time and every day. Some equipment objects were able to serve us well, others couldn't withstand the sometimes extreme conditions of our tour. After more than 2,5 years we were totally overdue to optimize our setup, replace many things or to switch to other products.

For that reason, here is the packing list. Here you get to our equipment for 5 years of traveling the world: https://bit.ly/fahrradpackliste2 There we also give a quick look into why we use certain stuff or why we switched to that equipment object. With our Rohloff on the other hand, we had no problems the past 2,5 years. We love this hub and are very happy with it!

During our time in Germany we maintained our bikes and of course we worked a lot to pepare many new blog articles. We will now publish these bit by bit. For example we were often asked how we work on the way. We even wrote two articles about this. Firstly about the topic „Digital Nomads – cutting films on the way “ and „Outdoor Podcast“, how we record our podcasts and what we use for that. Besides that there's also Tipps from 2,5 years outdoor cooking and what you can use for the „outdoor kitchen“.

Then we publishes a trailer about the past 2,5 years of our world tour and and summarized all of our articles so far. Because the most often asked question we got was: what does a world tour on a bike even cost? We documented all that including acquisition costs in our blog article.

Now we're back on the road, again in Georgia and again there was adventure and action from the first minute on. Unfortunately we realized after our arrival, that there was something wrong with Dani's Rohloff. We assume, that something sharp got under the sealing lip and the Rohloff got leaky because of that, but like, really leaky. Freshly refilled oil completely leaked in just a few minutes. Of course we had the oil to refill every 5.000km with us. Though we used up our reserves and the problem wasn't solved either. Of course the Rohloff is tough and we could've gone a little further even without oil. The problem was, that in the next 5.000 to 10.000km, there was neither a Rohloff merchant, nor any service options. In addition to that, there was no place like Georgia to recieve packages. Therefore „just going on“ would've just made the problem worse. Luckily Rohloff has an excellent service. After a short research, where we could actually recieve a package, they instantly sent a package to Georgia. Again, many thanks to our contact man at Rohloff!

The only thing we still needed was a chain whip to loosen the pinion to clean the spots. This was not really easy to find, so we had to get creative. So we opened our bike chain and fixiated it with spikes on a piece of wood. The principle was genius, but our construction was unfortunatly not strong enough. So we tried something new bit by bit. Dani had another idea. We built in the rear wheel and the pinion puller, fixiated everything and pedaled backwards. That worked very well, but unfortunately, there was not enough thread protrusion on the sprocket side when installed to screw the nut on. Because of that, the bike only went forwards. So we needed a new solution.

After a lot of back and forth, we went back to the idea with a self-made chain whip. Dani fixiated a few spikes, small vice and wood as the chain protection on the handle of an old axe. And voilà, the DIY chain whip was done. We were actually successful with this new construction and so we could loosen the pinion and finally repair everything. The method worked out really well and nothing was damaged or scratched. In case you also get into an emergency like this, and don't have a chain wip with you, you should really make sure, that the spikes or screws don't damage the chain. If possible, you should always pad. 

Now we can finally go on, in fact straight to Jerewan, the capital of Armenia. Yes exactly, we've been there before ;) That's why we want to get back to the point where we last stopped as soon as possible - just before the border to Iran. And then a new chapter of our world tour begins!

Best wishes from on the way
Melli & Dani

news-4717 Thu, 17 Feb 2022 11:34:19 +0100 Quit and Go - Disc prolapse on the long time bike tour- what happened next? https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/quit-and-go-bandscheibenvorfall-auf-langzeitradreise-wie-ging-es-weiter The diganosis was a shock. So Fabians backache rooted from very serious cause and on the route we stood just before the crossing of our first pass- the Pyrenees. We didn't let our heads down and didn't want to cancel the journey. Fabian spoke to some doctors and got the green light to continue. Slowly, with attention, best no strong vibrations and in no way heavy lifting. Luckily we are a team and Franzi helped Fabian with the heavy bike bags and building up the tent.

So we went on, now in our 6. country Spain and we reached the last village Irurita before the pass, set up our tent for the night and mentally prepared to cross the Pyrenees. On 12km rise we had almost 1000 altimeters awaiting us. A friend, that also travels the world by bike and that has already 15.000km and 15 countries behind him, told us it was going to be hard. He had pushed his bike up the rise for four hours and there is also a bus. However, we wouldn't dream of that.

Long story short, we made it! We even made it so good, that no one had to push his bike at all! It took us five hours until we reached the top, it also took us enorme muscle strength and we were sweating like old men after going to the sauna of the finnish type- but it was all the way worth it. More than that- we actually had lots of fun! It was amazing seeing your own body so self effective. After having reached the top, we couldn't believe, that our first pass went so good. We rewarded ourselves with a wild camping place of the special kind- 1000 meters high we build up our tent for the night in the middle of the Pyrenees. A breathtaking view, no one else around us, only wild horses, cows and foxes. Foxes? Yes, we would see three of them at night. Afer having cooked our well deserved dinner on our gas cooker, we didn't have enough water left to do the dishes, because we needed the amount of water, that we had brang up to the pass to drink. So we put the pots a few meters away from our tent. Then in the night we heard a sudden rumble and clink. We were instantly awake. We peaked out the tent with our head lamps. Three pairs of eyes looked at us. A big fox instantly ran back into the night, another one hestitated at first, but then left the dishes after loud yelling and followed the other one. The last one though, the smallest one, didn't let our light, clapping and yelling bother him while grabbing a pot with his little teeth and running into the other direction with it and vanishing with it over the green hill into the dark. A little amused we thought, we could process this loss. Luckily we saw the next day, that the little fox had left the pot on the grass beneath us. The wind had increased over night, and under roaring breezes coming from everywhere, we took down our tent, packed our bikes and went on towards the valley until we reached the village Eugi. There Fabian had his first flat tire. Glad, that this didn't happen at the rise.

You can find the travel documentation of the pyrenees passing here: https://youtu.be/BCHSm0myofo 

We reached the city Pamplona and got on the pilgrimage, that so many people follow with the desitantiob of Santiago de Compostela. The Eurovelo 3 runs parallel to the way of St. James, crosses it every now and then, on a few spots they even intertwine. And so it was hardly surprising, that we were quickly intrigued by the special mood and the athmosphere and after just a bit of time Santiago de Compostela became our new stopover. We also really liked the many small pilgrim hostels alomg the way in which you can get a bed in a sleeping hall for on average 7-12€. We also got us a credential also known as a pilgrim passport and collected the famous stamps. „Buen Camino“ is probably the most common phrase of this route, you hear him every day (too) often. But it's true, during the day beautiful lonely regions and small old villages, in the evening many communicative people, everyone with a different story, most of them want to tell theirs. A big destination for all, Santiagp de Compostela, for most them the way is over then, the route is done. Not for us though. We go on to Portugal. We especially enjoyed this way of thinking, of realizing, of walking or cycling together and will never forget many acquaintances and the special mood, politeness and openness of the way of St. James.

The last day on the Camino de Frances were pretty though, daily we went 700 to 1000 alitmeters and 50 to 80 km high and wide. We reached the „Puerto de Foncebadon“ on 1504km the highest point of our trip to this point. the mountain range demanded a lot from us, but we were in good shape. We enjoyed the time in northspain on the way of St. James, even though some rises made the Pyrenees look like a little hill. 

Our drive on into country number 7, Portgual, brushed aside our last doubt, if there even were any, that we truly made a good and right decision. The decision, to free ourselves from all the unnecessary and overrated stuff and to realize and experience the true beauty of life. This country is a pearl on the Atlantic, meter high, roaring waves on wide, long, beaches that are acessable for everybody, red cliffs, secret caves. The coast of Portugal has all these and were in the middle of it every day and every night and were amazed by the breathtaking nature. The waves put us to sleep in our tent and the first sun light woke us back up. Portugal is a paradise for freedom lovers and the alternative living in their vans and campers or of course on their bikes and with their tents. So the time we spent on our route along the coast of Portugal flew by, we spent Christmas on the Algarve with new friends, that we got to know on our way.

A thrilling year passes by, maybe the most thrilling we've ever had. We'd love it to continue like this.

Unfortunatly, the pandemic goes on and so we had to change plans and cancel routes. Therefore we cannot, how had actually deeply hoped, sail through the gate of Africa and enter Morocco over Gibraltar. Because the way is completely closed, no ferries, no flights, no good connections to Germany at the moment. But we're glad to be able to go on in the first place, in that case over south spain through Andalusia, the Sierra Nevada as the highlight, to Barcelona. From there, we want to go to Sardinia with a ferry, further to Sicily, back onto the mainland over Messina to Bari, where another ferry awaits us and brings us to the balkans. Through Albania to Greece and then to Turkey.

Such a journey doesn't only change the body, it becomes more muscular and more athletic, but much more the mindset changes, it is so important to experience yourself as effective. While planning this trip we never thought of ourselves as people who just casually want to go on a world trip with their bikes. We need to admit, that we couldn't even identify with it, as were the type of kids, that never liked the Bundesjugendspiele. With a micro view, though, we could imagine ourselves cycling a little bit every day, a few kilometers daily, with a few break days inbetween as well. Small steps then go together as a whole and suddenly, you're already in the middle of it. We intentionally do not write „at the finish“, because the way is the goal. You should really let this saying affect you sometimes and not act like it's just some phrase. Nobody can take the thousands of kilometers by bike, the many countries and past months from us anymore. The time seemed like it flew by, as if it was the length of a movie, that played in a hurry. Then again, we think of our first kilometers, the first days and all that what's happened seems, like it's happened years ago. In the past months of our journey, we've experienced so much every day, like never before in many years.

news-4716 Mon, 20 Dec 2021 15:24:16 +0100 VAEGABOND - This was our 2021 https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-das-war-unser-jahr-2021 We're always stunned by how fast time passes... Swoosh, another year has passed and we've now been on the way with our bikes for 2,5 years.
It's time for a little summary of our highlights of this year:

By the time of the year change 2020/2021, we were still in Antalya in Turkey. The borders around us were closed due to COVID-19. At this point we didn't know yet, that we would end up spending almost 9 months in Turkey. It didn't bother us though. ;) We discovered our passion for rock climbing, cycled to Cappadocia a second time and over the Taurus. Besides that we enjoyed the amazing turkish cuisine and got to know many cool people. Unfortunatly, we also had to say goodbye to our devoted work phone, that was run over by a truck in the mountains. We almost lost our drone too, because it just fell ca. 600 meters deep, while filming a beautiful golden yellow, orange sunset in Mardin. We were incredibly lucky and met a young turk, that had seen where the naughty thing came down. 

In May we went over the Eastern Anatolia Region to the Mediterranean Sea and into the wonderful, green Georgia. Just after crossing the border, we got us a cold beer. We also met people in short clothing again. The landscape is just fabulous and amazed us over and over again. By the way, did we mention it? Everywhere, like really EVERYWHERE you come across cows and pigs, that walk freely and relaxed over the streets. After cycling from one hot sulphurous source to another, we went back to the mountains. In the high Caucasus, we especially liked the region Svaneti. There, we cycled through the rustic Ushguli. Old defense towers are the landmark of the region and we kind of felt set back into the middle ages. Later we went to Kazbegi and to the region Tusheti. There, we cycled on of the most dangerous roads in the world. The road itself is not too well fixiated and very narrow. You basically only encounter SUVs and natives, that know the place very well. The landscape itself though, is very beautiful.

Just, like all around the little Caucasus, where we had the hardest adventure of our entire world tour in October. Rain and fog lasting for days, totally drained our equipment and at the end not only our underwear was wet, but also our bags from the inside. We tried to warm ourselves in an abandoned shepard's hut and dry us as well as everything else for two days. Coincidentally we got to know george, that made our last night on the pass with self made cheese and wine. The biggest reward was the view into the valley and the following downhill. 

We then left the loved Georgia a little wistful. There, everything was so tasty, so easy, the people so nice, the lanscape so breathtakingly. We wet on to Armenia. Even though we didn't make that many acquaintances here, there was a diverse landscape again. We went trough canyons, alongside the Sevan Sea, over mounatains and directly with the view on the Ararat into the capital of the city.

Now we're back to the roots for bit of time. After 2,5 years of continuous use we need to repair our equipment and replace it. With this oppurtunity we also get to see our families and friends again. So this is our third Christmas of the world tour. Just how fast time flies by... 

Christmas 2019 we were in the Dades valley in morocco and cooked a 4 course camping menu with other bike travelers out in the wild. We spent 2020 in the mountains of Antalya in Turkey with our climbing buddies. Now 2021 is the first christmas of the world tour, that we can celebrate with our families again. 

Our break doesn't last for long though and soon we'll be back on the road towards Japan!

Therefore we wish everyone a merry christmas and a successful, healthy year 2022!

Best wishes from on the way,
Melli & Dani

news-4715 Tue, 14 Dec 2021 15:16:33 +0100 Quit and Go - 7 months, 7 countries, 7000km https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/quit-and-go-7-monate-7-laender-und-7000km … and we're still going. And we love it. So we introduce ourselves, to this third travel report on the Rohloff News, though, it's been a couple of months since the last one. From June, we had only went 2000km by bike in two countries, Germany and Czechia, Everything was new and we were totally untrained and unexperienced. Those are our keywords for the new introduction.

Hello, we're Franzi and Fabian, two completely normal people, at the beginning of thei 30s, that used to work two completely normals Jobs and lived in a completely normal apartment, drove two completely normal cars- mostly to work and back. At the weekend we liked playing board games with friends, but mostly looked for peace on the couch and in front of the TV after a stressful week. We felt like life was just passing by, like we didn't use it and we were really unhappy with that.

Sometime at the end of 2019 we decided, that we wanted to change something, to choose a whole new everyday life- we wanted to experience life completely actively and conciously.

We decided to make a world trip- by bike.

So we made our first kilometers in the lockdown-Germany and went over the Elbe cycle path to Czechia. After getting our Covid vaccination we could go our actual prefered route, western over the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Spain to Portugal. This time we were allowed to cross the borders of our western neighbours, cycle on the wide cycle paths of the dutch and enjoy the right of way of the cyclers. After Czechia, this was a welcoming change. We crossed the Ijsselmeer on a dike, that was over 30km long from Lelystad to Enkhuizen all the way to Den Helder. From there we always cycled along the coast, through beautiful dike landscapes, over the Den Haag and Delft, we looked at both cities, further to the province Zeelande to Middelburg. In the Netherlands we spent our camping nights mostly one of the many farmer campings, that are really found everywhere over there. For 15€ per person on average (2 people, 1 tent), you get a spot between chickens and cows, a shower, most of the time a little outhouse or a bungalow and especially as cyclists your peace.

From Middelburg we went over into our forth country, Belgium. In Antwerp we found stuff like warmshowers (platform, similar to couchsurfing, only for cyclists) and an accommodation for 2 days to explore the city. After just 4 days in Belgium, we went over Ghent into country number 5: France

We were proud. Very proud, when arrived the sea in France. That was truly an undescribable moment for us being the first time on the cliffs of France, even if it was only the english channel- we would reach the Atlantic too, for sure. With arriving at the french coast, over confidence went up and our muscles and condition have also had a noticable change. While the altimeters in Czechia had us cursing and sweating, the cliffs in France had us less cursing, but surely equally sweating, but now we would happily drive them up and down. And up and down again. In France it was the first time feeling like we've actually arrived on this journey. As far as it makes sense to speak about „arriving“ on a journey. But we finally had the feeling of experiencing this journey like we had imagined it. We started a little rough and of course quite helpless in Germany- we had to handle route navigation and completey changing plans, because of the pandemic situation back then- we could follow follow the coast for the first time in France, the sea always to our right, to get into the direction of the sun and the south. So wehoped. How we all know now this year's summer turned out as a total disaster and we didn't get much sun on the bike. So going on, there was much water from above and wind from the front. As opposed to Belgium and the Netherlands though, wildcamping was much better possible in France. We always found a place for our tent, if it was on the beach or anywhere else in nature. The French still live after their saying „Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité“ (freedom, equality, brotherhood), which stems from the french revolution and is deeply ingrained in the constitution of France. Therefore everybody lets the others do as they please, as long as they greed and don't cause any trouble. The French love to go camping themselves in the landscapes, the nature and land can be used together. Therefore building up the tent in the evening especially on the natrual cycle paths, along the many channels, was relaxed and peaceful.

France is a big country and we spent pretty much exactly two months there. We first met other bike travelers on our journey, some coincidentally, some planed. We cycled with all of them for a while, exchanged our experiences, learned from each other, until the ways parted again.

The west coast of France was especially beautiful to us, on the same height as La Rochelle, on the south past Bordaux. In Arcachon, we climbed the biggest wandering dune of Europe- the Dune du Pilat- with over 100 meters. The view from the top to the sea side, was something that we've never seen before. It seemed like a different world being stuck in the deep sand on the top. Our tip for this destination: make sure to climb the dune in the morning. This way you avoid the other Pilgrims and the dune is almost empty.

We cycled through Le Landes, the biggest coherent forest region in west Europe. Created after the afforestation order of Napoleon. A good idea he had. It is artsy beautiful, idyllic and smells incredibly good like pines, heather and a lot of nature.

Over Biscarosse and Mimizan the coast led us further to Bayonne and Biarritz just before the spanish border. We were just before the Pyrenees now. Of course we wanted to cross thes, our first pass of 1000 altimeters, our first summit challenge. We were ready, we finally wanted to enter our sixth country on our world tour and we also wanted to cross the pass. Although we were stopped on a camping site in Biarritz.

Fabian's back gave up. After our start in Czechia Fabian had already noticed a heavy backache. While barely feeling anything while cycling, the pain got even worse in the morning and in the evening. We tried a couple of things until we reached the west coast of France. Tons of stretching exercises, appointments with an osteopath- everyone, who we talked with, doctors, physiotherapists assumed a sciatica, which is pain that comes from the sciatic nerve and goes over the lumbar region and buttocks, down into the leg. After the pain juust didn't get better in months, we had to demand a serious examination. We had to bite the bullet and pause our journey, contact international health insurance and go to a hospital. In Biarritz a CT (computed tomography) was issued. The results shocked us all and all of a sudden our world tour was strongly endangered. The CT showed, that Fabin had a disc prolapse ob the left side. He did the wrong back exercises every morning and every evening for months, because we had thought the pain had a different cause.

We didn't let that discourage us and we didn't want to cancel the tour. Fabian spoke to the doctors and got a green light for going on. Slowly and advisedly, no stronger vibrations and in no way heavy lifting.

How we continued our journey and how Fabian got over the first pass over the Pyrenees with a disc prolapse, will be in the next article.

news-4714 Wed, 01 Dec 2021 13:35:09 +0100 VAEGABOND - Mountain and valley cycling in country #18 - Armenia https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-berg-talfahrt-im-land-18-armenien New month, new country - Armenia! But first a little story about how we got there: Just before the georgian-armenian broder we met our french bike friend Thibaut, who is on a tour with his folding bike to Asia. We wanted to cycle into the country together and found an amazing place for the last night in Gerogia before the border at Sadakhlo. We asked a few busy men on an abandoned gas station, if we could set up our tents in the backyard. They opened an empty closet space in which we could sleep. We later found out, that the men owned a restaurant next to the gas station, where we could even use the toilet and the shower. We were really lucky and we could stay warm. We then celebrated the last evening with a huge plate of Khatchapuri (similar to pizza with a ton of cheese), a small grill plate and a specialty with eggplant and walnuts. In addtion we got wine on the house.

Unfortunatly, Thibaut was the only one crossing the border the next day. Dani had so much of a heavy backache, that he couldn't even stand up. Luckily, the restaurant owners didn't mind and we could stay until he got better. After that it finally went on for us. On border you had to show your negative Covid test or your vaccination card to a doctor, after that followed the usual check by the border guards. Not even 5 seconds after we've received the armenian entry stamp in our passport, two men in civil stopped us and demanded us to open up our bags. That was the first time, that our luggage got checked at the border. They pointed on one of the bags and asked what was in it. We opened the zipper and they took a quick look on the top layer of the luggage. This only repeate itself 2x, because apparently it wasn't so interesting to rip our luggage apart after all. Then we were free.

Our route led us through a Canyon and shortly after that we had our first lovely encounter with the natives. We were gifted with lots of bags with Khakis and in the evening we were invited away from our tent and into a small cabin, in which ice cream was bottled up. We sat around a small table and shared food and drinks. There was our cooked camping food and Dolma (rice in wine leaves), pickled red cabbage and other local dishes as well as some digestive liquor. Then we went on to the sewan lake. It is the biggest freshwater lake in Armenia and we were even reunited with Thibaut for a short while. For us it went on around the lake in the other direction. Because it's already November (and probably also because of Covid), we saw many abandoned restaurants and picnic places at the lake. Suddenly a very old, rusty train section appeared behind the next forest next to the street. There were no train tracks around and why this was disposed here was the big, unanswered question. After discovering the lettering „sleeping wagon“, we insepcted the inside and thought it was a good idea to spend the night here.

The next stop was the mountains. Armenia is by the way a country with many altimeters. About 90% of the country lies above 1.000 altimeters – so totally our thing ;) After many altimeters we have to admit, that the mountains are really beautiful. Sometimes they peaked rugged and jagged next to us, then other times they would have the shape of a turned down hourglass. Again we went through a very impressive canyon towards Areni. Especially with all the orange and yellow shades around us, the autumn couldn't be more beautiful. You could already see the Ararat from afar, on the way to the capital of Armenia Jerewan. The mountains is one of the most important landmarks of Armenia, even though it's actaully located in Turkey. Because of the persecution and the murder of many armenians during the times of the ottoman empire, you can still feel the tension between the two countries. We rolled in our Turkey flags, to not be disrespectful. In Jerewan we visited the monument as well as the genocide museum, which informs about this dark chapter of the armenian past with many charts.

After a long time in Jerewan we were invited to a Warmshower again. It turned out, that he was the only active host in Armenia and he has only been here for 2 weeks himself. Coincidentally another bike traveler came, Atilla from Hungary. We had an amazing time with our french hosts. When we left again, it was back to tents. The nights were by far colder now and the campfire our well known friend.

Als wir eine Ruine in einem kleinen Dorf ausmachten und unser Zelt dort aufstellen wollten, dauerte es nicht lange und wir bekamen Besuch. Der Herr wollte nicht, dass wir draußen im Kalten die Nacht verbrachten und lud uns deshalb zu sich und seiner Familie auf den Bauernhof ein. Wie sich herausstellte war die Familie aus dem Irak und lebte schon länger in Armenien. Auch wenn wir keine gemeinsame Sprache sprachen, irgendwie konnten wir uns dann doch verständigen und erhielten einen interessanten Einblick in das Leben der 6-köpfigen Familie. Gemeinsam saßen wir abends in der gedrungenen Küche. Es gab selbst gemachten Kompott und das Essen war zwar einfache Hausmannskost, schmeckte aber super. Wir genossen die Wärme, die vom kleinen Blechofen ausging, der unentwegt mit Kuhdung gefüttert wurde. Einfach, warm und herzlich: das war das Fazit dieser wundervollen spontanen Begegnung.
When we discovered a old ruin in a small village, it didn't take long until we had a visiter. The man didn't want us to spend the night out in the cold so he invited us into his farm to his family. It tuned our the family was from the Iraq and had been living in Armenia for a while. Even though we had no language to communicate with, we still got an interesting glance into the life of the family of 6. In the evening we sat together in the stocky kitchen. There was self made compote and the food was home cooked, but it still tasted very good. We enjoyed the heat, that radiated from the small tin oven, that was constantly fed with cow dung. Just warm and lovely: that was the conclusion from this wonderful spontaneous encounter.

Melli & Dani

news-4713 Wed, 17 Nov 2021 09:14:15 +0100 Supercharged to the north cape https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/aufgeladen-zum-nordkap Roadtrip with expedition vehicle and e bike 444.000 kilometers (11x around the earth / to the moon and beyond that) is what we've already travled on our mother earth and that without any flights. When we decided to go to the north cape with our expedition vehicle named Terra Love and e bikes, we didn't know what indescribable nature paradise was expecting us. With no doubts a country of superlatives. A country of fjords, waterfall, trolls, moose, reindeer, sperm whales and the most beautiful northern lights in the world. We had barely crossed the border when it already closed again, because of the rising Covid cases. For nearly 6 months we've been on the way almost completely alone. We were stunned by steps drawn in autumnal shades, deserted, sometimes moon like landscapes and and endless forests, that were encased by waftingfog walls and ghost like clouds. We passed some of the 188 mounatins, some of the 300 sometimes torrential impressive waterfalls, 50 fjords and 150.000 islands, that have together with the land a coastline of 100.000 km.

Wow! what a journey, a journey, that catapulted us to regions, that we hadn't expected at all. We experienced exeptional hospitality, crossed the biggest european mainland glacier with our e bikes Josdedalsbreen, swam in the north sea, saw how the evening sun got reflected on a sperm whales skin. We climbed lighthouses, wandered into the mountains on dangerous paths, sat on thin pinnacles that vertically went 1000 meters down and warmed ourselves on the campfire in starry nights.

Im Land der Wikinger folgten wir ihren Spuren, spürten ihren Atem und glaubten zu hören wie ihr erschreckender Kriegsruf von den Felsen widerhallte. Wir erlebten einen Winter mit Eis und Schnee, Orkanböen von über 120 km/h, überlebten einen Beinahezusammenstoß mit zwei uns entgegenrasenden Sportwagen im Gebirge und einem Lastwagen dessen Fahrer offensichtlich eingeschlafen war. Wir nutzten viele der 100 Fährverbindungen, überquerten zahlreiche der 22.700 Brücken und durchfuhren viele der 900 Straßentunnel, auch den Lærdaltunnel der mit seinen 24,5 km der Längste und den Ryfylke Tunnel der mit seinen 290 Meter der Tiefste der Welt ist. Ein imposantes bald märchenhaftes Land, mit extremen Wetterverhältnissen, voller Abenteuer, voller Romantik, voller Mythen das uns mit seiner Wildnis, den Kältesteppen, Nationalparks und Vogelschutzgebieten minütlich den Atem raubte. Die Krönung - das Nordkap ohne Menschen, bald jeden Tag Polarlichter die sich über uns zogen und den Himmel entzündeten, E-Biketouren am Nordkap und auf der verschneiten Insel Senja die 350 km nördlich des Polarkreises liegt. Es war eine atemberaubende Reise deren Menschen und Geschichte uns in die ganze Welt führte. Es war eine unvergessliche Reise und sicherlich eine der Besten die wir je gemacht haben…
In the land of the vikings we followed their steps, felt their breaths and thought to hear how their frightening war cries echoed from the cliffs. We experienced a winter with ice and snow, hurricanes with over120 km/h, survived an almost-crash with two very fast sportscars that came right towards us in the mountains and a truck of which the driver seemed to have fallen asleep. We used many of the 100 bike paths, crossed countless of the 22.700 bridges and cycled through many of the 900 tunnels, also the Lærdal tunnel, that is with 24,5 km the longest and the Ryfylke tunnel, that is with 290 meters the deepest in the world. An impressive soon fabulous country, with extreme weathers, full of adventures, full of romance, full of myths, that left us in awe every minute with its breathtaking wild life, the cold quilting, national parks and bird sanctuaries. The cherry on top - the north cape without any people, soon polar light, that would stretch over our heads everyday and enflame the sky, e bike tours on the north cape and on the islands, covered in snow, Senja that is 350 km north of the arctic circle. It was a breathtaking journey, of which the people and the stories was spread all oder the world. It was an unforgettable journey and certainly on of the best we ever did.

news-4712 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 11:14:52 +0200 VAEGABOND - The hardest stage on 2 years of traveling the world! https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-die-haerteste-etappe-waehrend-2-jahren-fahrradweltreise During our time in Georgia we have already seen some really beautiful corners and explored the High Caucasus. So now we wanted to cycle through the small Caucasus. We've definitley already been over worse streets, that didn't even deserve the name "street" or fought up more steep paths... But this put outclassed everything. The landscape was again incredibly beautiful, but the weather was just awful! It poured rain and in addition there was a dense fog. Our entire equipment gave up from the bags to our clothes - nothing stayed waterproof...

It was really cold and we were dripping wet to our underpants. After searching for a long time we found abandoned shepard hut on the pass in which we stayed for 2 nights to dry a little and to not get sick. In the end there was a happy end for us:
We were noticed by 3 georgians, that quickly invited us to a good bread with Puri, sausage, cheese and self made wine. The next day the fog disappeared and we had a good departure - in the end at only third accommodation of the entire world tour. We deserved it, i'd say ;)

Freshly dried we started our way to Vardzia, where we wanted to visit a cave town. We followed a river and were speechless seeing the beautiful landscape around us. The path going constantly uphill was completely compensated by the landscape. When we arrived in Vardzia, we were surprised. The place was only made up by a hand full of houses and we couldn't find any tourists anywhere. Must've been because of the cloudy weather... Because of the evening slowly arriving, we saved up the cave town for the next day and went to a hot spring. It was even a pool house over there and we bobbed around the cozy warm water. The feeling was just amazing, to relax in the natrually warm water after another bike day over the small Caucasus.

The next day we went to the cave town. There not many visiters, so we could explore the caves in peace. Unfortunatly there were no information cards, so you had to get a guide or an audio guide to learn more about the history of the place. The cave town was was founded in the 12. century and served around 1.000 monchs as a cave monastery. It was supposed to have 13 floors to have 50.000 people live in it, but an earthquake made the entire constructiob shrink to only a quarter of it. There are also daily fairs in the church. The Turkey we've already visited a underground city in Kappadokien. This one in Georgia was not any less impressive.

news-4711 Tue, 12 Oct 2021 16:06:33 +0200 From south spain to Germany by pedelec https://www.etraction-thetrip.com/post/solo-von-spanien-nach-deutschland-per-pedelec-2021 In May 2021 I got back on my saddle in the spanish Andalusia after the winter break because of the pandemic and „surfed“ on the lockdown opening wave almost 3.500 kilometers from the Atlantik to the Rhine. By pedelec. Alone. This youth ride of my new bike from HNF Nicolai took 46 days, equipped with 4 batteries, tent and a kettöe ... Constant uncertainty followe me, but it was by far not the only one that did ... news-4710 Fri, 24 Sep 2021 11:23:50 +0200 VAEGABOND - Most dangerous road in the world https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-gefaehrlichste-strasse-der-welt It has already been a lot going on again in the past couple of weeks. In Kazbegi near the russian border we actually went hiking for once. But it was worth it and it wasn't even that bad ;) We went to the Gergeti Trinity Church, from where we had a stunning view over Stepantsminda. The next day we went back towards Gudauri, past the monument of the georgian-russian friendship. Not far from that we built up our camp and had a fantastic view on the high Caucasus.
 

We cycled back towards the valley and Melli had a pretty bad encounter with some stray dogs. Cyclers are not what you see everyday here in Georiga. Usually we cycle slowly past loudly barking dogs, talk calmingly to them and then they leave us. But one of the dogs didn't let that impress him and Melli was biten. Just to be safe, she got booster vaccinations against tetanus and rabies in a hospital in Kakheti. Luckily we some really nice people, that invited us over to them and supported us with the hospital process when we were there. At that oppurtunity we also learned how to make Khinkali ourselves. That is basically one of the best meals in Georgia, that we're crazy for.
You can imagine them like Dumplings, big noodles filled with minced meat. Very very tasty!

After that we went to Tusheti and with that also to the most dangerous road in the world. This region is also known for being one of the most beautiful in the entire world. The way leads over the infamous Abano pass that lies on almost 3.000 meters. We made a date with our french bike friend, that we had first met in Turkey. He travels by his folding bike and because the route is so unfit for his bike, we sticked our thumbs out and met some funny georgians. Although were thrown around on the truck bed, the view on the landscape and the road that made its way through the massif was just amazing. Halfway we got a melon and Chacha. Coincidentally a group of Georgian cowboys came by and without further do Melli was sat on a horse. That was really fun!

Arriving the top we had a free view on the mountains villages. Now also we can confirm it. This region really is one of the most beautiful in Georgia. Though, the villagers are seperated from the rest of the world during winter. The pass closes when it's covered in snow around October and opens back up around May. For emergencies there's a helicopter though. After a few days it was over the Abano pass back to the village for us and were really interested how well we would get on with our bikes. That ended up looking like this: the worse the street, the prettier thr landscape. The first day often had more than 20% of a rise, Melli pushed her bike almost the entire way to the pass. Dani was still able to cycle, but he stopped every 5 meters to catch his breath ;) We built up our camp for the night at the Chacha cowboy rest area. The next day we were surrounded by fog. This day was similar to the first, just that now it was very cold and the wind was alright. When we finally arrived at the pass, we camped near a church and hoped for the weather to get better the next day. We wanted to have a free view on the gigantic road to the valley.

Unfortunatly we weren't that lucky and the next day you could only see 7 meters far. In addition to that it started to rain, which soaked through our bike bags, that were already soggy enough. The bags opened at the seams and we couldn't close them even with two tubes of special glue... By the way who wants to support us with replacing our equipment finds more information on our website.
So we stayed another day on the pass because obviously we wanted to see where we would cycle. We asked a car that was passing by for water, but then we realised, that it was a whole squad of 7 SUVs. Turned out it was all polish and they were on their way from home to Tusheti. They were really nice, because when the man that we had asked gave us two bottles, all travelers wanted to make their contribution. After not even a minute we had a Aldi cooling bag with treats like biscuits, beer, bread, pickled fish, sausage and canned meat. So now on our second day on the pass, we basically had a whole meal, even though of the constant rain and the cold.

Then the weather fortunately cleared up and we ended up having a pretty good view on the path downwards. All in all definitely an adventure, that we won't forget!

news-4708 Mon, 20 Sep 2021 08:58:16 +0200 Introducing ‘Jongerius’ Rohloff Premium Beltdrive https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/introducing-jongerius-rohloff-premium-beltdrive The Jongerius Rohloff Premium Beltdrive combines a unique, sturdy frame with a Rohloff SPEEDHUB and other top-level components, such as a Gates Beltdrive and SON lighting, creating a perfect bicycle for cycling holidays, weekend trips, or even daily commutes. Unique frame

For its most recent Premium model, Jongerius has designed a unique frame which immediately catches the eye. Keeping the goal of a beltdrive bicycle in mind from the beginning, the designers of the Jongerius Rohloff Premium Beltdrive frame were able to omit the vulnerable removable block for mounting the beltdrive, commonly present in other beltdrive bicycles, from the frame. This enabled them to raise the rear fork which, due to the higher “elevated” chainstay, allows the beltdrive to run underneath the rear fork, giving the bicycle a distinctive look.

The aluminum frame is ISO-4210 tested to ensure that the frame will remain in top condition under heavy loads, despite weighing only 2.3 kilos. This frame is suitable for bikepacking due to the many attachment points and is designed with easy maintenance in mind, deliberately routing all cables externally, so that they can easily be replaced in the event of a broken brake line or gear cable.

Dutch Bicycle of the Year 2021 finalist

Not surprisingly, this model has been nominated by the professional jury of the Dutch RAI association as one of the 3 finalists in the Dutch Bicycle of the Year 2021 competition. The jury of this prestigious bicycle award, consisting of industry experts, judged the bikes on construction quality, design and styling, innovation, safety, and comfort, amongst other criteria.

Only the best components

The Jongerius Rohloff Premium Beltdrive is built to the customers individual specifications, using a selection of choice components from Rohloff, Gates, SON and Magura amongst other quality brands.

The frame is powder coated in any RAL color imaginable and in sizing to suit any rider – regardless how tall!

news-4707 Wed, 08 Sep 2021 09:09:57 +0200 VAEGABOND - Georgia – a fascinating country https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-georgien-ein-faszinierendes-land We're now on our way for almost 2 years with our bikes and Georgia is the 17th country on our world tour. To be honest... Georgia impressed us so much, that it's almost become our favourite traveling country so far.

Even though the country is quite small compared to Germany, it feels like reaching a new zone every 100km. On the coast to the black sea the climate is really tropical. In the inner land and especially in the capital it's more dry heat coming towards you. The landscapes are especially pretty in the high Caucasus - and also pretty cold.

The local kitchen is tasty and diverse. From tons of different sorts of cheese over eggplant with walnut paste to pastery with cheese or seasoned meat, theres something for everyone here. The beer also tastes better here, although you should rather taste one of the many different wines or even better the local fire water called Chacha. At last the charm of Georgia is also because of the people. The people are very friendly and if you find yourself in the role of the guest, the georgians are really in their element. We already had the oppurtunity for a few times to participate in an old georgian tradition, which is often connected to a sumptuous meal.

A man, often the host, takes the role as a Tamada, a so-called toastmaker within smaller circle. So everyone clinks glasses of wine all over again on god, the dead, the living and all participants. Of course this is coated with a little story and it's something very special for everyone. 

In Georgia you can stay for 360 day as an EU citizen without a Visum. We won't stay exactly that long, but we're excited what else awaits us here.

Liebe Grüße von unterwegs

news-4695 Wed, 28 Jul 2021 15:36:58 +0200 Crazy – On the Everest with the Speedhub https://bernhardhartenstein.de/abgefahren-mein-erstes-everesting/ The biggest challenge was the middle part, in the early morning hours after a driven through night. I was already tired. And an unbelievably long route was still ahead of me: 10 more rises and with that another 12h of cycling... news-4694 Mon, 26 Jul 2021 10:05:53 +0200 VAEGABOND - Hot springs & the high Caucasus https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-heisse-quellen-hoher-kaukasus Wir haben die Türkei verlassen und sind mittlerweile schon im Land #17 – in Georgien. Schon allein der Grenzübergang war ein klein wenig abenteuerlich. Unseren vorletzten Abend in der Türkei verbrachten wir bei Murat, der in der Nähe der Grenze in einer kleinen Hütte am Meer wohnt. Wir staunten nicht schlecht, denn während der letzten Jahre sind dort so einige Reisende gestrandet und haben sich auf seiner Wand oder in seinem kleinen Büchlein verewigt. Die Welt kommt zu Murat. Von ihm haben wir auch den Tipp bekommen in das kleinere Krankenhaus in Arhavi zu gehen, um unseren COVID-Test für den Grenzübertritt zu machen. Gesagt getan.
We left Turkey and are now already in country number #17 - in Georgia. Let alone the border crossing was a little adventurous. We spent the day before the last evening at Murat's, who lives in a small hut near the border. We were pretty impressed, because over the past years many travelers ended up here too and perpetuated themselves on his wall or his small book. The world comes to Murat. He was also the one giving us the tip to go to the smaller hospital in Arhavi, to make COVID tests for crossing the border. Said and done.

The long rod was put into our mouths and our noses. While still gagging and wheezing, we realized, that this was our first test of this kind. Up until now we never had big problems with timing when crossing the border, without facing certain entry requirements. In the evening we got our test results. Melli's test was negative... but Dani's test kind of got lost. That was really annoying, because then he had to do it again and we only got the test result the next day. Besides that the test result wasn't allowed to be older than 72 hours. So we just camped in front of the hosptial.

How it turned out in the end the test was issued on Dani's dad, because the named had to be stated for the residency permit for Turkey... Ahhhhhh... Who cares, full of energy towards the border. The border guard asked for the filled out entry form. Yea um, which form? We had been so busy with the Covid tests, that we must've overlooked that. We thought, that we had to issue another request, that would go through all the bureaucracy fabrics again and we couldn't enter.

Nach 2 gemeinsamen Tagen trennten sich unsere Wege, die Schweizer fuhren durch das Landesinnere und wir in den Hohen Kaukasus. Es ging nach Mestia und von 
After 2 days of spending together our ways parted and the swiss cycled thorugh the center of the country and we went to the high Caucasus. We went to Mestia an from there to Ushguli. We are really glad, that we took all those altimeters on us, because Svaneti is just one of the most beautiful regions in Georgia. The rustic Ushguli With it's old watchtowers and the many small stone houses, was a place like you'd imagine it in a fairytale. After that, we went over the pass and back down on the other side. The streets became an adventurous gravel road and because it rained, many mud puddles formed. Although that was draining, it was a lot of offroad fun, that was definitely worth it! After that we celebrated Dani's 30th birthday at the hot springs. We really like Georgia up until now!

news-4691 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 15:10:05 +0200 Quit and Go - The first 2000km have been cycled https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/quit-and-go-die-ersten-2000km-sind-gefahren and we still don’t have enough… We're now on the way for almost 2 months, the first border is already behind us and still we're currently back home in Germany. How is that possible? No, we were not sent back and no, we also not in quarantine- we were vaccinated! For the vaccination we also accepted a little dingling from Czechia over Pilsen and back to the bavarian border.

Because now everything is possible, we have the full vaccination, the borders are open and the clues are luckily far beneath.

After over 1000km in Germany, from west to north and from north to east, we entered our neighbour Czechia over the elbe cycle path without any problems. The beer was especially good there and even the sun showed up after we struggled with masses of water from above, wind from up ahead and even storms.

We reached our first metrople, Prague, got to know some hospitable warmshower hosts and explored without a bike for the first time on our journey. 

With entering Czechia there were also a lot of altimeters, but we'd rather push our bikes up a 13% rise while sweating and already having a light tan from the sun, than cycling along the flat coast of the North Sea, while it rains, we're wearing thick gloves and down jackets. So as you can read, in two months there was already a wide range of outdoor and bike travelling experiences included for us. And we're excited for every other, that is still ahead of us.

After a short break after the vaccination we instantly went on. This time- how we had already favourited it before corona, the western route over Holland, Belgium, France where we're especially excited for the Atlantic coast, Spain, Portugal, hopefully even to Gibraltar. Having arrived there, we will decide which continent to explore next and how exactly our journey is supposed to go on. We didn't set a destination on purpose, because we actually want to explore and appreciate every country, at least brush the athmosphere and the culture a bit, getting in contact with the people, take our time and let ourselves float through. We don't want to rush through a country, to make many kilometers as fast as possible, to get somewhere else quickly. The path is the goal.

news-4689 Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:20:22 +0200 VAEGABOND - Drone gone & unexpected hospitality https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-drohne-weg-unverhoffte-gastfreundschaft Crazy how much there is to experience in 4 weeks! Our path led us to the paradise of Gaziantep. If you ask a Turk, where you should definitely experience the local dishes, in 90% of the cases, the answer will be – you'll have to go to Gaziantep! And it's true, the food there was especially aromatic and super tasty. The Baklava got a whole new meaning, because it really melted on the tongue here and it was just incredibly tasty. We also had taste other dishes like for example Iskender or Lahmacun and many sweets on our food tour.

Our destinatiob was Mardin. From there we wanted to go to the Van See. The climate in south east Antanolia got drier and hotter. Especially at the start of the route we quickly realized, that we had to fill up enough water, because stores, let alone houses, became quite rare. Sometime we cycled for 50 kilometers without seeing a single tree, that could provide us with some shadow.

After all though, we met – in case we encountered someone on the way – very heartfelt people. One day we discovered a ruin, in front of which we wanted to spend the night. When it got dark, a car stopped in front of the ruin and an elderly man come towards us with his son. They tried everything to convince us, to come home with them. But we were still really tired from the ride, had already built up our tent and ate. Dismanteling everything again and driving multiple kilometers through the dark to an outlying village, was just not eligible for us. They said goodbye and half an hour later another car came towards our camping spot. It was the same men as before. This time though, they had a huge bag of food with them, so nice really! We found potatoes, onions, paprikas, chili, but also salad from their own garden and even a sort of yoghurt in it. We learned later, that we should've eaten that together with the salad.

The next day we arrived in Mardin in the late afternoon. We definitely wanted to explore the old town, but we needed more time for that. So we needed a place for the night. After a little longer search we ended up finding something. A security guard smiled at us and that was the moment. We asked if he had a spot for our tent and not long after that we could build up our tent around the corner. To capture the perfect evening mood and the sunset, Dani got the drone and started a roundflight over the beautiful Mardin. After a short time the satellites suddenly failed and the drone didn't get any signals anymore and decided to land somewhere out of sight on its own. We paniced. First the phone that was run over by a truck and now the drone was gone too... nerves were on edge. Did this bad luck just never end? We had no other choice, than to start trying to find it somewhere coincidentally or to just leave it on its own. The new finder would certainly have much fun with it.

Dani started running, somewhere where he assumed it to be based on the last photos. Out of breath he asked all passer-by, if they had seen something. One said he could eventually help us and we exchanged numbers. Two hours later this someone showed up with our drone in his hands. Crazy! Oh how relieved we were, we had never expected that! We wanted to a finder's reward to the young turk, but he refused and said it comes from the heart. Simply incredible!

While Mardin was already fascinating, Midyat absolutely captivated us. We reached the city around noon and had just gotten bread at the bakery. Not far away we found a bench with a roof where we could sit in the shade and eat. We got our olive oil. Melli started cutting the tomatoes. A man came out of nowhere and asked if we wanted tea or something to eat. We thanked him politely and pointed at our small bowls. Not even minute had passed and another man came. This man had two steaming teas on a tray, that we just couldn't say no to. 

He was barely gone and a young woman showed up with an even bigger tray. She had a bowl with olives, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, bread and 2 glasses as well as water and juice for us. We were speechless. Something like that had never happened to us! The woman saw our food, but hers was better and we should definitely eat it. We couldn't refuse that. She came again and went even further. A steaming pan with cheese on a fried egg... so good and we were totally blown away. But it wasn't over just yet. The woman came a third time and served us Mokka in the cutest glasses with silver patterns and a cap, that we had ever seen. There was also Lokum, i.e. turkish delight and nuts. We were in heaven! The nice woman didn't want anything in return, she was just happy, that we liked everything so much and took photos with us. We never experienced such hopsitality in our almost 2 years of world tour... just incredible!

news-4687 Thu, 20 May 2021 16:27:54 +0200 VAEGABOND - Good news & and a catastrophe https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-gute-nachrichten-eine-katastrophe We're rolling again!!! Finally back in the saddle and cycling through beautiful landscapes! First of all we went back to Cappadocia, were we explored the underground city in Kaymakli. Even though Turkey had issued a hard lockdown, the tourists and touristic attractions stayed excluded from that. So we could take a closer on 4 levels of the 8 floor of the underground city. The athmosphere was really amazing, the corridors small and narrow. Even Melli with her 1,60m had to duck every now and then, to not bump her head. Russian groups came past us intermittently with their guides. We tried to imagine, how busy it must've been here before covid and were glad to have the caves to ourselves.

After that we went over towards Adana over the Aladaglar mountains, that's also called the Anti-Taurus mountains. This stage was especially tiring, because we had to cycle up a sometimes over 20% rise, often cycle on tracks across the field and then temperatures were already over 32°C in the shade. But the view was absolutely amazing! The mounatins looked beautiful before our eyes and around every curve (even though Melli had to push her bike sometimes for minutes) a breathtaking scenery awaited us.

We'd like to add really cool photos to the article for you here, BUT... we were currently bumping over a single lane dirt road. Then the accident happened! The phone unnoticably slipped out of its holder, we dodged a truck and yea... real shi***... the truck ran over the mobile workplace just as unnoticably... What can I say, we were shocked! Usually we save all our data every month, especially the past amazing week, with photos, that we were already super thrilled to see, simply vanished into thin air in that moment. Not only all photos were gone, we navigated with that phone, did basically everything with it, it was the office of VAEGABOND. The screen was shattered, didn't react and we couldn't transfer data onto our laptop anymore. For now it's find the next biggest city, find a way to save the data and replace the phone. That will probably still take a while...

But there's also good news! There are more activities in our bike travel regular table with 5 other bike travel channels. We've already done a livestream with all participants and together we made a whole series with bike travel tips. In the videos every channel shares their experiences in terms of for example equipment, bike, planning etc. On our YouTube channel you can find tips about wild camping. There's a video to watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp4gLfvm9qg

Luckily we've taken some photos on another device, so this time there's only photos from option 2 :-( In case you know someone, that's well versed with data saving, we'd be very thankful for everybody, that helps us. Besides that ONLY for those, who want to see more articles from us as quickly as possible and want to help us with getting a new work phone: you can support us here directly or via transfer. Of course we'll buy a new phone one way or another, but just like this it'd take longer. Thank you very much!

news-4684 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 15:26:17 +0200 Quit and Go - The first days of the bike world tour https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/quit-and-go-die-ersten-tage-der-fahrradweltreise Afte more than a year of preperation, we're now finally on our way. Because of the pandemic we changed our departure date from summer 2020 to spring 2021. Now we didn't want to wait anymore.

We started on the 13.04.2021 at 11:30 am from Lotte near Osnabrück. This was now 10 days ago and we could already gather so many impressions and experiences even in this short time frame. So what will we say after a year? Because that's atleast how long we want to be on the way for.

A short summary of the events looks like this:

We started into the unkown with quite the overpacked bikes. Dependant on our equipment, especially the tent, the sleeping bag and the sleeping mat, because there were still negative temperatures at night- and the heartfeltness and the hospitality of the people, because the accommodations and camping places are closed.

Up until now the plan is working, because we're currently in a holiday apartment, that we can use for free. But let's start at the beginning. The first day we could sleep in a museum, the motto of the day was, „who asks, get rewarded.“ Since we originally wanted to build up our tent in the yard. That was when a very friendly employee unlocked the showroom for us. So the first warm night was saved. 

We spent the second night in a similarly uncommon place- in glasshouse together with a whole lot of ivy plants.

The the weather got warmer and we got to build up our tent and use our equipment in nature. 

There were already a lot of realizations as well. 

  1. We have to get rid of ballast. We sorted out 10kg of luggage and made ourselves and our bikes lighter. It was so much easier to cycle.
  2. We need an actual packing system in our bags and everyone should be parallelly responsible for important things. Otherwise we waste way to much time with building up and dismantleling. Fabian is the cook and Franzi is responsible for the tent.
  3. Without a scarf and without a cap or a headband you'll get a neck and ear ache, because of the coast wind and the current temperatures.
  4. Suncreme urgently has to be put on the hands. The „cyling hands“ need much care and creme in general.
  5. After rain also comes sunshine, most certainly.

    After we had spend cold wild camping night for four days in a row, we offered a holiday apartment from
    a warmshower host at the north dike. That was exactly what we needed now. A hot shower and a warm night.
  6. People are good.

Already after a short time of traveling we sense a happiness, a feeling of living and the mind only thinks about itself, the nature, the environement, the bike and the next 50km. Amazing.

news-4683 Mon, 19 Apr 2021 08:25:58 +0200 VAEGABOND - Soon we'll go on – The permit is here https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vagabond-es-geht-bald-weiter-die-genehmigung-ist-da There we are again and now it's finally time: We have a residency permit for Turkey! After calling the authorities in Antalya multiple time (with no reaction), we ended up coming there without an appointment. Our papers were taken our of a shelf being pretty crunched up and after 3 months of waiting we were told, that our pass photos are not biometric enough for Turkey. Funny, even more biometric than in Germany, is that even possible? They told us to make new ones. Alright, but couldn't they have just told us that a few months ago? Blank faces, unfortunately we didn't get an actual answer to that. So we went ahead and made sure we'd get those photos and not even 1 week later we had the residency permit in our hands. We paid 330€ each for that including additional turkish health insurance (non turkish insurances do not get accpeted), all extra costs as well as noatry etc.

We have even more news! Not long ago we got together with other bike travelers and founded a bike travel regular table. The first meeting has already taken place – and that in our livestream on
 youtube.com/vaegabond. Things like this will come more often from now on, where all participating globetrotters will unpack all types of interesting travel stories and answer the questions of the viewers. An amazing format, that we will definitely further work on.

In the past months we have done an incredible lot of things, enhance the website, wrote manynew articles, for example about navigation on bike tours, how to properly save money for your tour and an article on perfect wild camping. We're so unbelievably glad, that we found new friends here in Antalya, whose couch we could use the entire time! This way we could save a bit of money for times, when we really need to go to a hostel... Who know us knows, that our current daily budget is between 3,50€ and 5€. Therefore we are even more thankful for our turkish friends, for sharing their roof with us so we can work.

Because if you'd calculate it correctly, our savings are absolutely not enough for the way over to Japan. That's why we try to organise it as good as possible and also earn a little bit on the way. Keep your fingers crossed for us, that it works out! We will definitely continue living our dream and share all our experiences with you!

We super thrilled we urgently want to cycle on. That's why we've got enough from the computer now and absolutely want to cycle on. The route will lead us further to the east to Mardin and towards the georgian border. We'll see if they're even open when we get there. We're excited!

news-4677 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 15:29:16 +0100 VAEGABOND - Unvoluntary break – used for creativity https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-unfreiwillige-pause-genutzt-fuer-kreatives We originallyalready wanted to tell you good news in the February update, in terms of our residence permit for Turkey... Now exactly 3 months since our official appointment have passed – without getting a sign from the turkish authorities. No reaction to our 15 mails and countless calls either. Today we'll again and call hopefully someone qualified with the help of a turkish friend. Other travelers are in a similar situation right now. So unfortunately we still have to wait and hope to get the permit. Kind of funny actually! If we think about it, the 90 days are soon over for the second time. Up to 90 days is the time period, a visit without a special permit is no problem in turkey. We'll see later if the long processing time of the turkish bureaucracy is actually our or their problem. 

After all we had a good time waiting. We produced many new videos and are already in Bulgaria in our latest YouTube episode. There, we explore thermal springs, cycle through beautiful mountain villages, meet amazing people again and set a new record: The forest road, on which we cycled, got replaced by a massive, jagged, furrowed... yea, how can I best describe this... a pebble and rock path. Cycling on that we really tried but just couldn't hit the pedals anymore. The path didn't even deserve the name „path“ and only reminded of the leftovers of a moray eel, that made its way to the valley some time ago. That day it took us more than 6 hours for just 5 kilometers. There's always a first time. ;) you can see the video here.

In addition there's new blogs on our website vaegabond.com in the category tipps & tricks. For example we wrote an article about the „perfect camping spot“ there and what to look out for the most while wild camping. Because we also recieved many questions in term of route planing and navigation, there's also tips about that from us, where we download free map material and and and suggestions, which apps and tools we especially like to work with. Aside from that, there's also a new subcategory with various test areas.

This way we make something creative out of our involuntary break. So it's currently not even that bad that we're basically „stuck“. Besides that, the borders to Georgia and Iran aren't even passable for us yet. Opening them back up is already in discussion though. So we will be back on track soon. This way we could finally sort and write down all our ideas and traveling experiences and let our creativity go its way. We hope, that our articles help and inspire some with their own tour and even more so planning it.

In that sense, stay positive and healthy
Best wishes from on the way

Crazy, because they

  1. aren't trained
  2. don't know a lot about bikes
  3. because they aren't exactly the skinniest people, more like the opposite

How all that works out, how their preparations go, what fails await them, how far they even get, when they get started and what they experience, they want to share that with you!

news-4674 Thu, 25 Feb 2021 15:18:28 +0100 „Nelly – the movie“ - a true adventure drama from the modern nomads https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/nelly-der-film-ein-wahres-abenteuerdrama-von-den-neuzeit-nomaden "Nelly - the movie": a novel visual narrative about the possible adventures these days. A thrilling adventure drama, that shows close ups into wild corners of our world. In our own production we present, the modern nomads, that traveling means so much more, than just crossing country borders and the biggest adventure being life itself. The modern nomads are a union of new and experienced adventurers. Their core idea is, to come far routes and to expose themselves to the burdens and conditions of the respective region - far from hotels and tourist facilities. Daniel Maachaoui, the initiator of the modern nomads has these values in his blood and has been traveling for years, accompanied by people and animals, on this path around the world. Daniel Hage and Jan Pirco Ulbrich also belong to the team of the modern nomads.

They cycled from east westphalia through east europe and the kazakh steppe to China. They reached the chinese border after 88 days. The legs weren't tired yet, so they found themselves in cape town, to cross the african continent by bike from there.

The usual so sporty adventure passion turned into a dramatic fight over life and death on this journey, which is now watchable as the film “Nelly - der Film” (Nelly - the movie). This film is a novel visual narrative about the possible adventures these days. A thrilling adventure drama, that shows close ups into wild corners of our world. In our own production we present, the modern nomads, that traveling means so much more, than just crossing country borders and the biggest adventure being life itself.
 

The movie about the adventure journey is watchable in the languages English, German, and Arabian, from sunday, the 28. Februray from 8:15pm, on the YouTube channel of the modern noamds (https://youtube.com/neuzeitnomaden).

Aside from the 50-minute film, there are also scenes and moments, that didn't make it in the film and other small small adventure videos publishes.

news-4673 Thu, 28 Jan 2021 15:32:43 +0100 VAEGABOND - Starting into 2021 https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vagabond-start-ins-neue-jahr-2021 Last new years we were vainly waiting for a firework in Marrakesch. This time we spent the year switch near Antalya in Turkey. Even despite restrictions and closed borders for 4 days, a few firecrackers were lit and everyone wished each other a healthy and happy new year. We hope, that this year everyone can recover again and that the situtation gets better for everyone around the world.  

For germans, a stay of 90 days in Turkey is no problem. Beyond that, a extension of stay has to be requested. Our appointment for the extension of stay was a little adventure of bureaucratic nature. With our german manners we showed up about 10 minutes before the appointment. Then we realized, that it was only just receiving various papers and getting an immediate payment request. Stupid enough, that we were invited at a time, that made it impossible to pay the money. The payment office had already been closed for an hour by the time of our appointment. Unfortuneatly that meant cycling back through half of Antalya, past the police control, line up at the counter again. More than a month has passed since that happened. Sadly, we still don't know if we've got the permit. It is well known that bureaucratic mills grind slowly.

In the meanwhile we worked on our new articles and videos. But to not completely avoid exercise, we found a hobby alongside. With the help and equipment of our local friends we kept cycling to the mounatins, where we safely climbed the rock faces and aired our brains. We had never thought, that we would dive so intensely into climbing on our bike world tour. It keeps us fit and it's fun.  

We still don't know for how long we'll stay in Turkey. The border to Georgia and Iran are still not passable for us on the land route. We don't want to go back towards Bulgaria either. Turkey is very big and there's still so much to explore for us. As soon as it's clear, that we can cycle on, we probably head towards the Black Sea and then further towards east.

Best wishes from on the way, 
Melli & Dani

news-4672 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 08:19:23 +0100 Far and up! Year review 2020 https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/weit-und-hoch-jahresrueckblick-2020 Veit Riffer is an exotic amongst the bike athlete. After a dramatic climbing accident in 1999 in Elbsansteingebirge with a following paraplegia he discovered the handbike. The tours got longer and more challenging. Burdern are there, to be overcome. In 2020 there was a whole new page added to the challenge catalog: Not only the weather and the terrain showed up as variables -nun schlugen auch (wieder) politische Entscheidungsprozesse bis auf die Freizeitgestaltung der Menschen durch.

Despite all challenges I completed my most successful tour season. 15.338 km and 157.554 am are even for ambitious cyclists quite impressive, but for hand bikers like me this counts even more. Aside from that I work 4 days a week, so I don't have unlimited time for my hobby. That's why it ended up being only 121 rides.

There already mulitple highlights this year. On one hand I'm dedicated long-distance cycler. In this category especially the non stop tour from my home town Pirna to Berlin and back over 435 stands out. But the tour with the turning point Leipzig is extra worth mentioning as well. Besides this 313 km long route, I went 6 more long edges (distance over 200 km) in 2020 – that is a new record for me as well.

In summer the almost annual alpine vacation gave me the oppurtunity, to prove my stamina while mountain cycling. At this point I could cross all renowned alpine passes with the handbike, so that this time, destination outside of the main routes caught my interest. Because I wasn't allowed to go to south east France respectively north west Italy because of the travel restrictions, I had my fun in the swiss alps instead. The drive from Interlaken over Grindelwald onto the Männlichen in Berner Oberland became my undefeated favourite of this year's alpine tour.

Besides my activities on the performance limit, I love hanging out with other cycling enthusiasts. Shared happiness is double happiness! My czech friend Lád’a has been my loyal company on his racing bike regularly for many years. Even though, there's obviously not more handbikers with my spectrum of interests, than tour cyclers, my swiss sports friend Rudy still belongs to them. In 2020 we could finally be back on the road together in Oberwallis. Silvia was the newcomer for me this year. We had gotten to know each other virtually on the internet platform Strava and soon met for trips together. In her home, the swiss jura, the mountain bike queen showed me how things went right the start.

For me, this sports year 2020 couldn't go better. New records, interesting encounters and the joy in exercise in the amazing surroundings – that is the quintessence of all my activites. The Rohloff-SPEEDHUB was always there with me!

news-4671 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 08:33:10 +0100 VAEGABOND - ending the year in Cappadocia https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-jahresende-in-kappadokien It's December again and the christmas times are slowly coming back at home. This is now the second christmas, that we spend without our families and only for us two. Again, in a country, that doesn't celebrate christmas – after Morocco it's Turkey this time. All of that is not too tragic. More so, that the corona virus has now been ruling many people's every day lives for almost a year and the sickness rates are constantly rising.

Now we get to feel the consequences of covid as well for first time away from home. The border to Georgia and Iran are closed. A world tour is currently not possible and a change of the restrictions is not in sight. Our 90 days residence permit in Turkey are passing. Now we have to get an extension of our stay. Then we can only wait for our request being permitted or not.

We even get to feel the restrictions towards the native inhabitants in terms of COVID. There were curfews issued for the weekend. These restrictions do not count for tourists though, but all cultural offers were also shut down for this period. Many turks are unhappy, because the virus endangers their job, and therefore their existence. But even despite that, we often encounter people, that treat us with incredible kindness and help.

We're currently cycling through the beautiful Cappadocia. To do that, we took the path over the Taurus mountains, over Konya and Aksaray. Just to mention it, that memorable day we set our personal record: 150 kilometers in one day. This small act didn't quite leave us untouched. Even days afterwards we could still feel it in every single muscle. After that we went over Selmine and the Ihlara valley to Göreme. Even if the night were really cold with -7°C and during the day a freezing cold breeze is blowing around our noses, we enjoy the unique landscape with its odd rock formations. The so-called fairy fireplaces made us smile and we tried to imagine how the people back then looked for a safe space in the small caves apartments. After that, we headed back to Antalya to our appointment about the extension of our stay. If it worked or not, is something you'll find out in the next update for January.

Despite the current situation we wish you all a lot of power, health and a merry christmas! have a good start into 2021 – hopefully everything will turn out good.!

Best wishes from on the way

news-4670 Mon, 23 Nov 2020 13:51:25 +0100 VAEGABOND - A fire, that burns eternally https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-ein-feuer-das-ewig-brennt It is always nice, getting surprised by a country all over again. Before cycling into Turkey, we had no expectations or greater experiences, that should be fulfilled. We got there fully unbiased towards the end of September. It's November now and we've reached Antalya.

We got to know so many great people on the way, that also had a big impact on our route through Turkey. We followed the advice of a passionate elderly turkish cycler and took a path along the coast towards the south. There, we passed lonely, but beautiful mountain villages, but also bigger places like Selcuk, Marmaris or Dalyan.  In Dalyan we got to know a turk, that not only makes jewellery in his shop, but he also makes unique bikes made of bamboo. We were also stunned by the royal tombs near the antique city Kaunos and a healthy sulphurous mud bath near Sultaniye made our visit simply perfect.

Another great stage awaited us from Kas on. There we met a frenchman with his packed folding bike and in Demre we collected an englishman with his bike. The four of us headed after countless mountain and valley routes along the coast towards the ruin village Olympos. After immaculate weather it rained torrents, that only came down on us every once in a while for half a day though. From Olympos we took a shortcut over the beach to Cirali. Even the short part of the beach was very adventurous. We pushed our bikes through the sand and shortly before the end we waited through the next rain shower under the roof of a restaurant.

Arrived in Cirali, something really special awaited us. Apparently, on the mountain there are small fire, that didn't go out in over 400 years. That's because natrual earth gas comes out of the rips and splits. A truly very magical and special plase, where we also had a gorgeous view on the sea and could warm ourselves at the same time. When it comes to people, culture and landscapes in Turkey, our heart definitely caught on fire. Like the fires in Ciral, we will probably keep these experiences in mind very well too.

news-4667 Wed, 14 Oct 2020 07:33:04 +0200 VAEGABOND - Digital chaos and „merhaba Turkey“! https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-digitales-chaos-und-merhaba-tuerkei The last days in Bulgaria were were nerve wrecking for us again. That didn't have anything to do with the country though. We became the victims of a horrible hacker attack. Firstly our site on Facebook was hacked, then renamed and we were removed as administrators. We tried to communicate with Facebook for days – really hard considering the automatic answers with absolutely no helpful information. Then it got even worse and the site was completely deleted. For a short while we had the sad, horrifying and stunning feeling, that all that we have build up over a year, all the stories, pictures and lovely people, that are behind that would be gone forever... We don't know how exactly all of that happened, we only know, that we ended up sending about 7 messages to all possible Facebook contacts - suddenly the site was back activated by Facebook.

The next down came with our notbooks refusing to work. We already had problems working with it before. For example we sat before our video cutting program for hours, because every 5 seconds the screen froze for another 7 to 12 seconds (yes we counted). We would sometimes blindly edit our video clips and hoped, that at the end something somewhat passable would come out. Now our laptop completely shut down its service. Unfortunatly, that'll be expensive, since we need a replacement. If you like our videos and want to see more in regular intervals, we are happy about every supporter on VAEGABOND.com/support

Besides that, we were happy to leave the virtual world behind us and to get on our bikes again to cycle through Turkey. From Swilengrad in Bulgaria, we crossed the border to Turkey towards the end of September. Crossing the border was already a little adventurous. We heard, that it was forbidden to cycle on the highway in Turkey. Stupid enough, that the path over the border went exactly over a part of the highway. We trid it nevertheless. We passed the exit without any problems, then at the entrance we had to go through a cloud of disinfection. It was triggered by a movement detector and couldn't be avoided - that meant close your eyes, hold your breath and through it. Having arrived at the border house, the police officers was impressed. In english he said: "You're not allowed in here... unless you promise me to also put a turkish flag on your bike." We laughed with relief. Of course, that was our plan anyway. Very friendly we were waved through. No one talked about bikes and highways.

From Edirne we went partially over the troia culture route towards Assos and further towards the south. The turks are really nice and we are often invited to cookies and tea. The turkish kitchen is also amazing! Luckily we're on our bikes, because otherwise we would gain much weight in a short time and become roud like a ball...

news-4666 Tue, 08 Sep 2020 16:16:52 +0200 VAEGABOND - After 1 year of traveling by bike in country #15 - Bulgaria https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-nach-1-jahr-radreise-in-land-15-bulgarien A few days ago we cycled through lonely mountain villages in the south of Bulgaria. Confusedly we were spoke to by one of the natives (which by the way was the only bulgarian speaking english in a perimeter of 50km), how we even managed to find this place. The road leading there became multiple rocky dirt roads with deep furrows after a few meters. The next 15km to the mounatin peak were apparently not getting better. We answered, that we were so fascinated by the landscape, that we prefered smaller regions and roads before cities and highways. And that was absolutely the truth. This stage was scenic, very tiring as well, but incredibly peaceful and beautiful. We had the oppurtunity to have a closer look at some of the houses of the small village with the man. Of 60 houses there were only around 20 with people living in them. The rest was in a very dilapidated condition. Still, the place had a sort of magical impact on us.

After that we went further towards the peak. The gravel slowly turned into sand and the furrows became bigger. The slope also increased. In Croatia and Montenegro we had already gotten used to constant uphill. Though, that was a little different here. After just a short while Melli already couldn't pedal anymore and had to push her bike. Dani did short, but very exhausting power thrusts. Cycling 5 meters. Break. Cycling 5 meters. Break. This way we made an amazing 5km in 4 hours. Crazy! We've never made our way up the mountain this hardly. We still agreed, that we had steeled more in the past months and manage these conditions better than before. It was worth it for us as well ;)

By the way exactly on year ago, we dared the step and got on our bikes, to explore the world. With that, Bulgaria is our country #15. And still we love traveling by bike! All that we have experienced until now, all the amazing encounters with the most diverse people, besides all the stress (over mountains, against the wind, while it was cold, while we didn't want to anymore), all the moments, that we celebrated together and when we couldn't stand each other – all of that was so worth it for it us quitting our jobs and and our apartment! We cycled over country borders and got to our own limits, grew beyond them and got to know lifestyles and mindsets, that we want to integrate in our life. For that, we are incredibly thankful! You can't book something like this in the travel agency, you have to take things in your own hand and with a little time on your back, go exploring yourself.


A really amazing Summary of our thoughts and moment during this year on a bike world trip succeeded our friend Max von Berglicht as a film production.
With this in mind, on towards Turkey :)

news-4665 Tue, 01 Sep 2020 16:15:07 +0200 Terns new flagship model, the SPEEDHUB equipped GSD R-14-LX now shifts electrically! https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/terns-new-flagship-model-the-speedhub-equipped-gsd-r-14-lx-now-shifts-electrically The original GSD model from Tern has been turning heads since its introduction back in 2017 - the compact yet functional design has been praised by customers and industry professionals alike. This latest model further solidifies Terns reputation as a specialist for urban mobility, raising the barr further and easing the transition for families and enterprises, towards a more sustainable transportation solution.

The new GSD bikes are certified for up to a total cargo load of 200kg. More than enough to transport two children, an adult or a large number of goods to wherever they need to go. And when you get where you're going, parking and storing the bike is no problem at all as the GSD still remains no longer than a traditional bicycle.

The electric rider support is provided by Bosch's new Cargo-Line motor, providing up to 85Nm of torque and 400% support level. Those who accept nothing but the very best will be more than happy as the GSD R-14-LX is not only SPEEDHUB E-14 and Bosch cargo-line equipped, but also uses the low maintenance Carbon Drive CDX belt transmission and even comes equipped as standard with twin batteries for a range of up to 200km!

If you're looking for a compact, low maintenance e-Cargo bike, the 14, evenly spaced SPEEDHUB gears, covering a huge 526% total range, combined with an 'Auto Downshift' function and one of the smoothest bicycle shifting systems available, make the GSD R-14-LX one bicycle definitely worth checking out - especially for those intending to transport great loads over mountainous terrain!

Since there's been a few loosenings in Europe and the borders opened back up, Tanja and Denis Kratzer thought about what they should do with that wonderful liberty.

They spontanously decided to do a three month tour into the high north, to hunt polar lights and enjoying the terra love, to test the new e bikes and to discover the countries Norway and Sweden. Apparently, in September and October you can see the northern lights especially well from the 60. latitude. Maybe at the gate to the arctic, the city Tromsø, they have the luck to see whales in the ice sea, whose backs reflects the polar lights?

On the websitethere will be live reports of the experiences.

The landscape is breathtaking, although it's also a little act of power for Melli. In Montenegro we topped almost everyday the altitudes of the day before. A special day there will probably forever stay in our memory.


We cycled along the bay of Kotor and every small village was prettier, than the other. The stone houses were lovingly pepared and decorated with plants and flowers with almost no exeptions. Benches, that were adorned with flower and chairs on the terraces made the picture complete. Because we were on the coastline, we obviously cycled on the height of the sea surface for a day, meaning 0 altimeters. Because the average temperature was 37°C in the past days, we already got up around 5 o'clock in the morning to enjoy the still cool breeze.


We've already been on 100 alitmeters for a few hours and sweated like crazy again. We used every oppurtunity for water and at every little cluster of houses in the mountains, we asked for a water hose, to splash us. One time, we were even offered to jump in the pool of the kids and got a 1,5 liter bottle of water. The most demanding part of the day came. Uncountable hairpin turns in a sweltering heat. The powers started to give up. The water was running out. Melli got to her limits, but at the end of the day we still somehow made 900 altimeters.


We asked at a bar, that made use of the amazing view and built its terrace directly on a rock, if we could build up our tent there. No problem. Over the time, more and more people came there. The reason for that was found quickly. The sunset was magical from up here and under us, you had a great view on the bay of Kotor.


With our last power, we cook our dinner on our stove. Germans discoverd us and were so shocked, that we actually cycled all the way from Bavaria to here and want to go even further, that they spent us a drink. We were totally happy. With a well-deserved beer in our hands, a full stomach and probably the most beautiful place to sleep that you could imagine.

news-4658 Fri, 17 Jul 2020 09:13:15 +0200 VAEGABOND - Our impressions after the lockdown https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-unsere-eindruecke-nach-dem-lockdown Some european borders were opened back up for normal tourism. In the frame of one month we had the oppurtunity to cycle from Germany over Austria, to Italy Slovenia and to Croatia. Meanwhile we had the oppurtunity to watch, how our neighbourhood countries cope with the corona virus.


May/June 2020 Bavaria: The awareness for the virus was felt everywhere. All the people around us wore a mask and gloves. A safety distance was kept as much as it was possible. Many people wanted to go outside and we saw many people walking and cycling on the way. Around the Rosenheimer region we realized, that nobody really cared anymore, if the other guy in the pedestrian zone walked right next to them. We tried avoiding bigger crouds as much as possible and unconsciously held (depending on the amount of people) our breath, when someone crossed our path.


The border to Austria went unspectacularly and we almost didn't even notice, that we're already on outlandish ground. Near Bad Reichenhall we chose a path for both walkers and cyclers, that led us directly into the neighbor country. Only a sign, that was fully grown by green tendrils, told you, that you're now in Austria. There, it felt like the poeple were rather shy. Though, it was now possible to eat with multiple people in a restaurant again – not outside, even inside.


June 2020, Italy: Not even planned, but regarding the many suggestions, that we get in terms of the route, we just had to take the path to Italy. We came to the border, saw some police officers sitting on their cars - and nothing happened. So we just cycled to Italy. When we had barely arrived on the other side, we got greeted by multiple elderly people applauding, that sat in a comfortable round sipping wine. We athmosphere was really good here even despite Italy having been hit especially hard with the numbers of death and illness. For the first time in Italy, getting groceries without a mask, was possible again.


Because of the short distance we only stayed in Slovenia for almost a day and cycled straight to the croatian border. Here, we were asked for our passports and where we were headed for the first time. In Croatia we felt like, nobody was really thinking about protecting themselves from getting infected by the virus anymore. Only the staff in the shops wore masks, for the rest the everyday life seemed to be as always here. No, not quite. What was very suspicious, was the absence of the usually high amount of tourists. In Porec, for example, the coastal mile seemed to be prepared for about 30.000 visitors. According to the locals, there were only around 2.000 tourists when we were there.

Atleast the traffic was by far more calm and less cars raced past us. So besides the virus a very beautiful traveling time for the bike. We are very excited, how it'll go on, where it takes us and how long it'll be until there are no more restrictions and safety precautions necessary in terms of covid.
Until then we'll watch out for us and others and roll further along the coast.

news-4654 Thu, 18 Jun 2020 15:23:08 +0200 VAEGABOND - First borders opening - We're rolling again https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-erste-grenzen-oeffnen-wir-rollen-wieder Luckily, the general corona situation got better, so that the borders to other countries can open back up step for step. We seized the moment, because we could barely wait to finally cycle on anyways and left Bamberg (now for the 2nd time).

The feeling sitting in the saddle again was just undescribably amazing. But we have to add, that we still had a bit of a queasy feeling. Despite all the loosenings in terms of the corona pandemic, the awareness of the devastating disease is of course still very present. We were all stunned. In some german cities, we saw people, wo took the situation very seriously and still followed the security precautions, like e.g. the safety distance and wearing a mask. Even car drivers who were alone in their car wore masks. In other cities though, the people came together in public places and chatted to police officers without standing six feet (ca. 1,82cm) apart and even had little folk festivals with snack booths. Of course we wanted to harm neither us nor anyone else during the continuation of our bike world tour. For that reason we try to avoid contact to others as much as possible and following the precautions. Because we've received many questions in terms of traveling after the corona lockdown, we already published a brand new FAQ video connected to the first traveling days in germany. You'll find the video here.

Despite that we've already crossed the border to Austria and also crossed the Alps with our fully packed bikes. We're incredibly proud, that we made this quite exhausting part of our further stages despite pretty long breaks. Our reward is the breathtaking view on the mountains, the The alpine pastures and the valleys lying far below. Soon it'll take us to Adria towards Croatia. But all in good time. Until then we'll inform ourselves frequently about the current border situations and the health precaution respectively the measures to be maintained and enjoy nature – far away from crowds.

news-4653 Tue, 26 May 2020 13:03:38 +0200 VAEGABOND - Now even more – when will it go on? https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-jetzt-noch-viel-mehr-wann-gehts-weiter During the 6 months, that we cycled through the world's history, we not only got to know our home Germany better. We also got a very deep glance into the different cultures and traditions in countries like the netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France or like just now Morocco. The very best thing about that was just going with the flow and actually taking time for such things. And so we got to know many amazing people, who we also learned a lot from.


Well yes, now back in Germany. The short home stop unvoluntarily became an extended corona forced break. We definitely didn't spend this time on the couch and waited for it to be over doing nothing. ;) We took a little more than two months either turning loads of video material into blog articled or giving our touring bikes a maintenance. Slowly, our heads start spinning and we wished for nothing more, than to get back on the saddle and explore distant countries.


Firstly it'll hopefully go towards Austria, as soon as the present health situation allows it. After that along the adriatic, through Croatia all the way to Albania. From there, we want to go to Bulgaria. More of the concrete route plan will come step by step. Until Japan we do after all have a few countries in between. ;) 


We don't know how long we'll have to wait, until the border are passable again. What we do know though, is that we more than burn for our wonderful world and enjoying nature on our bikes without any limits. We hope to meet many natives and to learn from them. Because without all those unique encounters, we would only get to know so many things on a surface level and not grasp so many traditions. Alongside, there are so many friendships evolving around the globe. It's only to wait until we can get back on the road.

news-4647 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 10:18:12 +0200 And we do drive! To Europe and back please! https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/und-wir-fahren-doch-bitte-einmal-europa-und-zurueck A 5-headed family with the cargo bike on bike tour through Europe Laura & René + Elias (5 years) + Valerio (3 years) + Aylin (8 months) The preparations are now finally completed and we're ready to go on the adventure of our lives. Leaving our apartment was hard and exhausting, but we made it. In March we thoroughly tested our equipment at the house of Laura's parents, which we're currently living in. Everything goes without problems and how it's supposed to. Wasser filter, stove, sleeping bag, sleeping matt, tent, ... all that is waiting to fulfill its purpose. Unfortunately we're currently in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, which forces us to delay our travel start to April 5th 2020! There are people dying all over the world, because of the SARS-CoV-2 illness. That makes it currently impossible to start onto our journey. We would start anyway, but we don't want to endanger other people and so we show solidarity and adapt to the circumstances.
Will we start? YES, we will. When? Unfortunately we currently cannot say that yet, but we hope for the 20th of April 2020. One problem that we have is, that at the moment the non existant passports for our kids, because the citizens' offices are still closed as well as the country borders. We asked ourselves how we will now proceed and how that will influence our route planning. In general, we clearly have to be very spontanious! Our current plan looks like this. As soon as the citizen' offices have opened back up again, we will issue passports for our kids. We plan going to Rostock the very same day. We will load the cargo bike as well as Laura's travel bike onto a trailer and let ourselves be taken to a ferry port. From there, we want to get to Trelleborg in Sweden to start our journey with our changed route plan. 
From here the Rohloff Speedhub 500/14 has to prove, what it's already proven in the everyday life, it has to last on Laura's travel bike, but most importantly on the 280 kg cargo bike (system weight). It has to be added though, that if René keeps drinking so much beer, there could certainly be a few kilogramms added. Besides all of that our current position looks like this: The Rohloff hub is the last piece, that we're worried about. It never let us down, neither in our everyday life nor on our test tours. Technically, you don't even notice it being there, because it just works too well. We love this hub!!
But back to the topic. From Telleborn our journey will lead us through south Sweden, so that we can hopefully enter Denmark after a few weeks. Then further over Belgium and France to Spain. In Spain we decided to take the pilgrim path to Santiago de Compostela. Its expected, that we will not visit Italy anymore, but in the end who knows currently. To put it clearly, „the path is the goal“. If we end up cycling 500 km, 2000 km or even 6000-10000 km is totally irrelevant! The journey itself and being with the kids is the highest priority and only that is important!!! And here, it had to be mentioned, that we also have to give a huge thanks to the Rohloff AG and also to the Radsport Lindemann from Porta Westfalica, as a Rohloff specialist dealer, who heavily support us in this plan, as well as be by our side at all times during our journey, because the following is clear: something like this is not granted!!! Much thanks to the team of the Rohloff AG, as well as the team of the Radsport Lindemann!!

news-4648 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 11:13:00 +0200 VAEGABOND - COVID-19: screwing during the forced break https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/vaegabond-covid-19-schrauberei-in-der-zwangspause The corona virus keeps everyone in their suspense. We would've never thought, that the virus would spread so quickly and cause so much damage. We first heard about it in January 2020 in Morocco. Now, almost 3 months later, the situation got drastically worse all over the world. Usually we would want to keep our stay in Germany quite short. Because the borders were closed and the ban on going out got issued though, we are still home and waiting for the situation to get better again. Luckily we were mostly spared by the virus. We have ants in our pants already and we want to get back in our saddle and cycle on. 
Quarantine also has a good side: we used the time to sort, process and publish our countless videos and photos. Hard to believe, how much time it actually takes to package 15 minutes of travel impressions clearly... But for us the work is much fun and the most important thing is, that you get something from it. ;) 
We also have even more time to get our bikes back in shape and to maintenance them. For example, after one year respectively after 5.000km the oil of the Rohloff should be replaced. Although we aren't already a year on the way with our bikes, we've surely already reached the 5.000 kilometers. With the help of the Rohloff flushing oil set and the new all-season oil, the procedure is easy and quickly done. We also replace our chains and take care of i.e. Dani's damaged bike frame. Soon, there will be a video about all the screwing on our bikes. 

By the way: We now publish a new part of our video series around the world by bike every sunday on youtube.com/vaegabond. Besides that, there's more exclusive video and picture material on patreon.com/vaegabondsworld. There, our videos and articles can be seen long before the public release and there a more thrilling surprises awaiting you!
With that said, we hope, that you're fine and that world gets better as soon as possible! Hopefully we could bring a little distraction into your everyday life and you can enjoy our impressions!
Stay safe, think positively and stay healthy!

Melli & Danni

news-4636 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 08:24:12 +0100 Into the adventure - Vaegabond world tour https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/auf-in-neue-abenteuer-vaegabond-weltreise We left Morocco with one eye laughing and one crying. Unfortunately with a the few setbacks like Dani´s accident and the stolen phone, but the positive experiences definitely overweigh. We're now cycling quarter a year through the beautiful and diverse Morocoo. Towards the end of this wonderful stage, we had a few amazing encounters, that we will remember for a long time.

From Essaouira we cycled along the coast over Casablanca to Mohammedia. From there we went back towards the inland. On the way, we coincidentally got to know a very nice family, that provided completely  for itself with the help of its farm. Without further ado, two chickens got butchered before our eyes and freshly pepared for dinner. As a goodbye, there was freshly milked, very tasty milk. In Beni-Mellal the next culinary highlight awaited us. We ate escargots for the first time in our lives. Let's put it like this: If you're capable of surpressing the knowledge, that you're eating a slimy snail right now, it's not even that bad. ;) Though, we couldn't complain about the soup served to that. It was very aromatic and super tasty! We admired the amazing mountain panorama from Beni-Mellal and visited the nearby reservoir.

We've now arrived back in Germany and are already excited for the soon coming adventures. We're only making a small quick stop and are visiting some friends and family again. We will expectedly be back on our bike world tour in March. Then it'll go towards Croatia, Bulgaria, Georgia, India... basically further and further, until we reach Japan. How it will go on after that, is something we'll think about on the way. ;)

news-4630 Tue, 14 Jan 2020 11:40:37 +0100 Morocco – Mountains, sea & a total damage https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/marokko-berge-meer-ein-totalschaden Barely believable, that we're now on the way for almost 2 months with our bikes through the fascinating Morocoo. The hourglass is running. So we're basically enjoying the last part of our tour through the country, which Melli has already known very well since childhood, thanks to her moroccan roots - and also not really.


From Fes we cycled towards the Tazekka national park, whereby we were checked by the police more often than usual and got more or less accompanied by incognito police officers - in sweatpants and slippers. This is probably a consequence of the tragedy, that happened in 2018 in the Atlas, where two young scandinavians became the victims of a brutal murder. We have to say, that we never felt threatened at any time or stood in a real situation of danger. So the safety of the tourists is being taken very seriously here. The natives were always friendly to us and welcomed us with open arms.


The landscape of Morocco didn't take our breath just once. We chased each other all the way up the middle or the high Atlas with our fully packed bikes for days. We floated through abandoned and sparse moon landscapes. We had nothing but the sand of the sahara before our noses. We let our view swipe over the coast of the west of the country... All moments had one thing in common: The view we could enjoy, was something you can't buy with any money in the world!


But unfortunatly there was a series of bad luck just in time to the start of 2020. By the way, we celebrated it in Marrakesch. Dani had an accident on the way there, where his bike involuntarily encountered another car. The result of this short but intense liaison was a broken bike frame. In Germany this would've been a total damage, but in Morocco basically everything gets „repaired“. After all the frame got welded in a sort of „garage“. To be honest wer're still worried, that the luggage as well as Dani have to get from A to B safely for a while... The second incident then took place on new year's. One month there were still beautiful memories being fotographed, the next the phone went missing. The entire locality we were in was completely turned upside down, unfortunatly without any success. Someone else is probably happy about his new cool phone now. Just a little inconvinient, that we not only took our photos with it, but also edited them with it, organized ourselves with it and did many other cool things, that we'd rather not think about anymore... so it shall be. C'est la vie - that's life. We're fine, we're healthy and that's all what counts! ;)


No day is like the other. One adventure chases the next. Many special people cross our path. And then there's the food... So diverse, so fresh, so colorful and so incredibly tasty! No wonder, that we enjoy every day, that we can spend here. Unfortunatly though, there's one factor, which is considerably limited and its name is „visa“.  You actually can't complain with 90 days. But if you'd want to get to know the country, the culture and the hospitality of the people more intense, then 5 months in row probably still wouldn't be enough. ;)

news-4628 Wed, 11 Dec 2019 08:01:38 +0100 Our start in the fascinating Morocco - Vaegabond world tour https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/unser-start-im-faszinierenden-marokko-vaegabond-weltreise Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France and again Germany.
These countries already bit the dust on our world tour. Next on our list was Morocco in north Africa.

It was the beginning of November 2019. If you've seen our videos from the Netherlands or Belgium, then you know why we had enough of the freezing cold rain in Europe. We regularly had to pack a dripping wet tent and making food and washing the dishes became an actual challenge with such clammy hands. The weather report didn't promise any improvemt for the coming weeks and so we had to work on our route plan. After having to fight against 60km/h of winds coming towards us while cycling on the north see coast in the Netherlands, the rain in Belgium simply didn't want to stop and even in Luxembourg and France the temperatures dropped to 3°C, we finally made the decision. On to Morrocco!

An encounter with the police
The flight from Baden-Baden to Fes, one of the four royal cities of Morocco, went without any problems. After having put back together our bikes on the airport in front of curious moroccans, we already went into the city while it was already dark. We had arranged an overnight stay for the first few days over Couchsurfing and now we were looking for our host. It was just really inconvinient, that we was just not available and there was no certain adress either. We asked our way around the neighborhood with hands and feet and got astonishingly well towards our destination. This ended in us telling the host's name and showing his profile picture from Couchsurfing - of course there was always someone, that somehow knew someone, that knew this one... and so on. So we ended up showing up on the door frame of the wanted person and were excited how it would go on from here.  

Our host would come back home around 10 pm. No problem, we said. We can wait half an hour. That half an hour went by. Then another 30 minutes. Again we tried to call him. Finally! He picked up! It turned out he was in prison, because he got caught drinking a coffee with an italian. In and of itself nothing dramatic. Though, there were many natives getting exposed as „fake guides“ in Morroco at the time, that showed tourists around the city and then ripped them off after. Our host seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and probably couldn't explain himself anymore. We don't know. Too bad. For all three of us...

Plan B?

Ok, what was our plan B? It was now after 11 pm and we chatted with a Morrocan,
that was on a walk. We didn't want to further drive around and look for a tent or
check into a hotel. We still had our bivouac sack and could maybe use a little corner.
A street guard quickly joined, because there was now 3 men, that were considerably
worried about our safety. Which was totally understandable. The guard got us a 
blanket as well as water and said he'll look over us this night. We were just about 
to get into our sleeping bags, then the police came. 
They absolutely didn't like our idea of sleeping here. We had to show our passports, 
pack our stuff and follow the police car to an accommodation. It was now 11.30 pm 
and we were led directly to the Medina aka to the downtown. So we were supposed
to spend the night in a hotel. We originally wanted to avoid hotels and sleep in tents
to manage our budget. That went perfectly... We already paid for a room on the 
first night. We made the best out of it, atleast we would be faster in the 
small alleys of the Medina the next day.At the end of the day we were forced to pay a
„special price“ of 7€ per person thanksto the amazing connections of the police officers.
The hotelier didn't want to makeany other deal. The many alleys, the many people and
the tanner district were definitely the highlights of Fes.

A travel blog from Daniel Kast & Melanie Steinigen From Amsterdam it took us to the north sea. The sea was grey, the water got slightly whipped up and the noticeable breeze came up. It didn't bother us though. The feeling of reaching the coast with both our bikes was just indescribable. Crazy! To the sea by bike, from Bavaria to the coast of the north sea - just amazingly crazy! Full of euphoria we turned to a small path. There we were left speechless once more. After a couple of meters we were in the middle of the dunes and the view was just gorgeous.


Blown by the wind
Our path lead us further south to the half islands of the Netherlands. Logically there's more of a rough breeze on the sea, than on the inland. As soon as came closer to the dam and the coast, we were basically blown by the wind. In the last October blog we were still glad, that we got spared from the headwind so far, but now it hit us. Unfortunately all the sloppy comments of our friends became true. On one hand the Netherlands were super beautiful and flat to cycle, on the other one there was the wind... it stole every motivation to ever get somewhere quickly. Sometimes there were 60km/h blowing in our faces. We pedaled even more, to not go backwards in a moment of weakness. That was probably the price for being able to cycle through such a wonderful landscape. But we agreed, that it was definitely worth it!


We're on our last legs
We reached Belgium. After the visit in Bruges, we made a little longer of a break in Gent. Dani's SON stopped delivering electricity, because of which a part of the technical devices couldn't be charged on the way anymore. It took a little while until the problem could be solved. Although we lost a few days because of this, but we had even more time to explore the beautiful city.
Following that we left the dutch part of Belgium and cycled on to the french part. We were happy because we cycled through many small forests and the headwind was gone without a trace. It got more hilly now though. We had taken a few nice photos of the romantic city in Dinant, but now the peak of torture awaited us behind the net curve. Never before was it so steeply uphill. Bathed in sweat, we saw a sign that said 15% rise. We got off our bikes rather quickly and pushed them, because we couldn't stay in our saddle. We were on our last legs. But as the saying goes: where it goes uphill, it goes downhill too. The wind did us really well.
[more...]


Adventure every day
Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France ... We had originally thought, that traveling by bike would be much slower. It actually feels like the past
55
days that we've been on our world tour flew by. Every day a new adventure awaited us, every day
new experiences every day new faces. You get to know your limits quickly, physically and mentally. 
We're currently visiting relatives in the black forest and optimising our packing system for the 
further route towards Morocco.


If we've had enough?
No, definitely not yet! The week before the last we hit 1.500 kilometers, since we've started in the 
middle of September. There are more kilometers to come, until we reach Japan. Und how many
have already noticed: No, we not going the wrong direction. We just don't take the direct route
to Asia ;) The path stays our destination.


Got curious?
We'd be happy about your visit on our website www.vaegabond.com

I rode from Germany to Japan in 2012. During my journey I made a series of short documentary films, documenting my experiences, the places I passed through and the generous hospitable people who made the journey such a life-changing experience.

We cycled together as a couple in 2016 from the south of Argentina to Cusco in Peru, using Rotor Komet bikes with Rohloff Speedhubs. We couldn’t have hoped for a better setup. The roads were tough and did everything they could to test our equipment, which proved to be very capable, and gave us no problems at all.

During our incredible journey we made a series of six short travel films capturing our experiences riding through South America’s epic landscapes, with a focus on the locals we met along the way. We interviewed a baker, a farmer, an artisan, a salt-worker and a woman building a house out of adobe (a mixture of mud and clay). The series is called Remote Encounters and can be seen on our blog www.robohorse.tv

We also produced three pure adventure films about our first excursions into bike-packing, and are preparing a 15 minute documentary for film festivals, about our challenging journey across the South West of Bolivia, to the Salar de Uyuni.

More details in the magazine Radmarkt.
 
X.Over.Scrambler
Is it a mountain bike? No. What is it then? It is a bicycle with no limits. You can use it on trails, in the woods, and on the streets, most suitable on all terrains on the same tour. The X.Over.Scrambler is surprisingly versatile, because due to the broad 27,5" tires you can manage gravel roads as well as single trails. With the necessary luggage in the big pannier bags the short adventure can begin!
Thanks to less maintenance and the encapsulated technic of the Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 the X.Over is made a reliable companion. Steel frame, gearshift, and toothed belt need so little maintenance that driving pleasure is more essential than technic. No knick-knack, just what is necessary. 

Mobil energy   
It comes with an extern storage battery with a capacity of more than > 3.000 Ah meter, which can be charged per USB. The Smart Power Pack II (SPP) can be placed comfortably inside the handle bar’s pocket and can recharge the smartphone any time. Over the Plug III or a regular plug the SPP itself can be charged. Of course, the SPP can be used as a cache battery. Additional function: LED flashlight, emergency back light, and SOS function.

news-4508 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 00:10:22 +0200 88.000 kilometer, 68 Countries, Around the World in 4 Years time! https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/88000-kilometer-68-countries-around-the-world-in-4-years-time More than four years he has travelled the roads with his Speedhub equipped bike.  – In this week the extreme biker Peter Smolka finishes his bicycle tour around the world. Presumably, on August 10th, 2017 the 56 years old computer specialist will reach his hometown Erlangen, where he started the tour in March 2013.
Before the end of the tour, he gave us a short visit in Kassel, and had a look at the documenta 14. Peter Smolka will have completed his aim to travel around the globe entirely - altogether 88.000 kilometer. Apart from that he collected an amount 20.000 Euro for charity.
 
STORY TO HIS FIRST TOUR AROUND THE WORLD! 

It is the second time Smolka is riding around the world on his bicycle – his first tour took him from 2000 to 2004. Now he has cycled under the motto „Tour de Friends“  – because he intended to visit friends on the way, precisely: the friends of his hometown, that is to say the twin cities of Erlangen around the world. When he started there were seven cities. First there was Wladimir east of the Russian Capitol Moscow. During his travel another City was added: Riverside in California, USA. Conveniently it laid on his way, so he could easily manage to enlarge his tour.
Smolka has crossed 68 countries on this travel – without visiting his hometown in the meantime – riding each kilometer on land on his bicycle; only in areas of conflict like Pakistan and Egypt, authorities sometimes forced him on the back of a pick-up truck because of safety concerns. Consistently, he could avoid any flights, over the oceans he used a ship twice times. The complete route is to be found on his homepage www.tour-de-friends.de under the corresponding category „Reiseroute“.

Those, who wanted to donate some money could contribute to the pedaling with 20 Euro Cent per Kilometer and, therefore, become godparent of a part of a stage, what length they could determine themselves. The collected 20.000 Euro went to the helping organization “Doctors Without Borders”. The twin cities each got messages with greetings of the mayor of Erlangen, which Smolka had transported all the time in his pannier bags. Next to Wladimir, Riverside and Jena (Germany) there were destined San Carlos (Nicaragua), Besiktas (Istanbul/Turky), Rennes (France), Stoke-on-Trent (England), and Eskilstuna (near to Stockholm/Schweden). Smolka visited on his travel many international sites of his former employer Siemens. In March 2013, the computer specialist abandoned his office chair in Nürnberg (Germany).

Smolka’s passion for long time bicycle riding he developed at his first bicycle tour to Sweden close before taking his A-Levels in 1978. Then followed more travel tours e.g. to the Football World Cup in Spain in 1982, and during his studying he made series of bicycle tours which became longer and longer: 1984 eight weeks Balkan states, 1985 four months Middle-East and Egypt, 1988 five months over Spain and Western Africa to Togo. After his studying and the first years at work he rode to Cape Town in 1992/93 for one year. 

2000 Smolka set out on his first travel around the world with a different route like today, but like this time it was connected with a charity aim. Smolka has written several books about his experiences: In „RAD AB!“ (Publisher: Travel Know-how) he describes his first around the World travel tour on bicycle, in „Fahrradabenteuer Westafrika" Pietsch-Verlag, 1991, (not available anymore in bookstores) his trip to Togo. He worked at about a dozen more books as co-writer like with “ bicycle guide to the world” („Fahrrad Weltführer") (Travel Know-how Publisher).


However, about his recent tour a book is planned, too.

Leon Groß and Vincent Keller rode an adventurous bicycle tour from Athens to their hometown of Kassel in Germany. This was not just a bicycle tour it was a part of a self-designed project.

Both 20 year old boys first met back in senior school and have participated in many sports together. After passing their A-levels two years ago and completing a year of voluntary service (Leon near Kassel and Vincent in South Africa), they both decided to delay their further studies for a while and instead laid the foundations to accomplish a long desired dream, for an adventurous cycle expedition through Europe.

After dismissing various tour ideas they decided to combine both documenta sites. The 2017 documenta event was the 14th documenta so they extended their plans to travel through 14 countries as well. Starting with the documenta 14 opening on April the 8th in Athens, Leon and Vincent proceeded to ride 4,300km by bike across Eastern Europe. 64 days later with their traveling bags full of great experiences and valuable encounters, the two young men arrived punctually at the Friedrichsplatz in Kassel, Germany for the documenta 14 opening on June the 10th.

A bicycle tour full of positive impressions and great memories that will never be forgetten by the two young men. Read more from their adventurous trip and the various corresponding press articles on their blog:

told Anita Burgholzer and Andreas Hübl  themselves on May 05th, 2010, when they made their dream come true and changed their comfy office chairs into hard bicycle saddles. Jobs were resigned, flat dissolved, car sold. Escaping the rat race and getting away on bike was their motto, that time.
„TAILWIND“ – an epic journey, in which speed and power are not so determined.  A trip, to deeply put our thinking and doing into question. Which shows us quite plainly how, reduced to the simple necessities life makes us happy, and that human kind is connected by far more things than we think, despite all advisories of different cultures and moral concepts. A moving journey around half the world, and maybe to our selves, too.

E-bikes are boring?
No Way! After Anita Burgholzer and Andreas Hübl have been traveling half around the world with “Tailwind”, both sympathetic Austrians dragged themselves into a new, crazy adventure: In the course of the „Sun Trip„, a rally for solar power driven E-bikes, it went in 77 days for about 8.000km long across 12 countries. On their own account without a supporting team they cycled with their startling solar tandem from Austria to far away Kazakhstan. With a taboo on plug sockets, routes of free choice, crazy adventures inclusive. 
„SUN TRIP“ – In their common humorously and entertaining way they both take us with them on their environmentally sustainable E-tandem adventure to the middle of Asia. Experience closely breathtaking landscapes, pulsating cities, weird encounters. With rain, wind, and sunshine and through thick and thin – as far as deep into the heat of the endlessly Kazakh steppe.

Time is running … meanwhile our kids Arthur and Jakob are four and six years old. They have lived the main part of their lives travelling. First in Kamchatka, our second home, then en route nearly 20.000km along the pacific ring of fire.  The last months in Oceania were volcanic, scenic, and familiar highlights of the travel hitherto. We climbed active volcanoes in the South Seas on our bikes, we looked inside boiling lava pans, and we got a feeling for the endless vastness of the Australian continent and the hospitality of New Zealanders. Our kids are developing splendidly and grow to be interested cosmopolitans. After New Zealand Jakob rides his own bike, which is a pleasure not only for him …

End of December 2017 we begin our third and last part of our journey along the Ring of Fire. From Chile onwards we want to travel through Latin America and North America back to Kamchatka to close the circle, before a new period of life begins: The School enrolling of our eldest son.
Full of anticipation we will look at the highest volcanoes on Earth, at salt deserts, gush springs, new and unknown cultures, and last but not least we looking forward to see how to travel with four bikes.
 
But why should we worry?  The Bike - a Rotor, the drive- a Rohloff for nearly 15 years. Please continue your work. Thank you very much indeed!!! More to travels and presentations of family Schmidt please take a look on our website under:

After we have cycled a few days across Patagonia, we have got a rough picture of what was before us in the next 5 weeks. Heading east the wind coming from behind was nice, but turning west bicycle riding was getting difficult to manage with only 10km/h max. Speed. It felt like riding behind a jet. Fortunately, the course included only 50km in western direction.
The next largest town after Mendozza was Bariloche, where we had a day off. The town is famous for winter sports with a big lake and numerous hotels, restaurants, and bars. In Bariloche I had the best steak ever in my life. ;-)))
From there, we went direction Chile when the weather turned bad. In continuous rain we reached Futaleufu (Chile) at Nov.14th  where, fortunately, a room in a hostel was booked for us to dry us and our clothes, too. The weather forecast for the next days let us down, that’s why ten of our group left by bus to the next camp in Coyhaique. With the rest of our group I cycled another rainy day before weather and mood changed to getting better. After three lonesome days in the nature we reached Coyahaique - die biggest town in Patagonia on the Chilean side.  Next, we were off to Argentina, again. The highlight of the 10 days bicycle tour was El Calafate with its icy glacier, one of the few glaciers in the world still growing, despite of global warming. After this impressing experience we went further to see the national park Torres des Paine in Chile.
 
Close to Cerro Castillo on the border between Argentina and Chile we had the strongest wind, ever, of the whole tour. I couldn’t even manage more than 5 km/h, and when I stopped I had to hold on to my bike, so that it won’t get blown over. The national park belongs to the most popular vacation destinations of South America and is famous for its numerous beautiful hiking trails along lakes and mountains. We made a three mountain hiking tour to Torres des Paine, as well, and rode on further direction south to Punto Arenas, where we went to see penguins. Now we came to Tierra des Fuego, and therefore, close to our destination Ushuaia. After four more days on the RN 3 named “Routa fin del mundo” we reached Ushuaia on Dec. 13th 2016 around 16:00 h:  The end of the world!


We were all ovejoyed to have made it… Really, to acknowledge it, I still needed a few days.

Review:
4,5 months earlier we started in Quito, then always heading direction south to Ushuaia. We have managed 11.000km and 100.000 height meters. Very often I had the feeling: “Wow, a Mountain, a hard stage, a difficult unpaved passage survived again, and I was proud of myself. Though, from time to time I was swearing and I wanted to go home, but in the end the good feeling prevailed: We have made it, we rode from the midst of the earth to its end on bike – 13 of us with a Rohloff SPEEDHUB without any problems.

Now comes Christmas and then back again in every day life…
Merry Christmas

This next instalment of the Robohorse (Pia Leong and Jimmy Purtill) expedition starts in Melipeuco following the starting stage of a bikepacking trail (found online). The trail lead them through a burnt-out forest, through a rich wonderful tapestry of Fall colors and then on past giant 1000 year old trees.

 

Robohorse were met by friendly natives who had made an old abandoned house their home. Both Pia and Jimmy were welcomed by the natives and the friendly, warm welcome they received quickly swayed Robohorse to stay with the natives a while in the beautiful village of Lonquimay.

 

Winter started to show its face and as the snow came. We were not to be discouraged however and the decision was made to keep going and try to traverse the mountains before the snow got too deep.

Robohorse TV is the joint venture of Pia Leong and Jimmy Purtill. They are both keen bicycle touring cyclists and film-makers, who use their bikes as tools to bring them to the remote regions they wish to film, in search of interesting experiences, people and places to capture in their films.   

 

In 2012 Jimmy decided it was time to do something exciting and meaningful. He planned to cycle all the way from Germany to India, maintaining a Video-Blog of his experiences and exploits, with the intention of showing people in real time, that the world is a safe place, inhabited by friendly people.

 

This expedition was the birth of Robohorse TV. 

 

Jimmy actually overshot India, ending up in Japan, but managed nonetheless managed to get his intended message across. The numerous faces Jimmy met along the way that showed their hospitality, letting him stay overnight, were well documented and shown in a series of short films which can be found on their website in the “TV” section.

 

Jimmy returned to Europe to reunite with his partner Pia, who was already busy planning their next expedition. This time, they were to travel 6 months through the South American continent taking in Peru, Argentina, Chile and Bolivia. Follow their tour and relive their experiences via their various online platforms below.

The Gebla Rohbox is a new construction which replaces the standard SPEEDHUB cable box and enables the use of any trigger/brifter lever (once index pawl is removed) to shift the SPEEDHUB. This has obvious benefits - especially for dropbar use where cyclists are able to retain the ergonomic cycling position they are used to from traditional derailleur transmissions.

 

All Gebla Rohbox equipped bicycles regardless of flat- or dropbar models, such as the Cross Lite, will make use of the External Gear Mech SPEEDHUB variants.

The Cross Lite is a multifunctional road bike - light, fast yet strong and stable enough for light touring use. The Cross Lite is fitted out with high quality disc brakes and comfortable drop bars which create both a sporty cross/gravel bike as well as a competent road and off-road machine.

 

A Sneak Preview of this new model can be seenthis weekend (16th-19th of October) at the Bike Motion expo in Utrecht - Santos Booth #11.C004.

news-4369 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 10:31:20 +0200 A New Bike for Mr. Emilio Gavira https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/a-new-bike-for-mr-emilio-gavira-1  

 

This bicycle was designed and made by Arregui Velázquez and Ciclos La Universal (arreguivelazquez.com, cicloslauniversal.com). Andrés Arregui was in charge of the design and construction of the frame while Eduardo Gasca assembled and supervised the mechanical part.
 

Mr. Emilio Gavira (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilio_Gavira) told us he hadn´t rode a bike in 25 years as he couldn’t find anything that suited his unusual size and proportions as he was born with dwarfism.
 

Design wise was a lot more work than we expected. We were conscious that we couldn’t approach the design just as a “smaller” bike. We tried to do everything in the same way we normally make a custom bicycle; get an idea of his/her actual position over the bike as a starting point (non existent in this case), physical proportions and condition, and the desired use or type of riding.
 

We got in touch with different associations and frame builders with experience with biking and dwarfism to get some insight in the matter. There are hundreds of types of conditions so proportions may be completely different from in each person (and so the designing approach).
 

The objective was to make an urban bike which could also handle the occasional off-road ride on dirt roads so we attempted to use the largest wheels we could. We finally settled on 20” (406) wheels as these seemed to offer the best option to achieve a proportionated bicycle and to ensure some grade of component adjustment.
 

Special attention was taken to the bottom bracket height (directly related with the crank axis distance from the ground), reach, handlebar drop (positive in this case) and possible component clearance problems arising from small distances and spaces.
 

The build has hydraulic brakes to get the best from a short brake lever and uses a Rohloff internal geared hub with twist shifter for easy operation while avoiding problems with the front and rear derailleurs.
 

40 min after Emilio left the shop with his new bike he was texting us about how happy was to be able to ride a confortable and well performing bike. Those texts have been coming occasionally from month to month and we are very happy we helped someone to get onto a bike again!

We both moved from the countryside to the capital because of work; Enikő comes from the Danube bend, Balázs from Somogy county. Although we think that city-life promises many advantages and possibilities, we would like to be back in the calmer, more balanced country life.
Sport has always played an important role in both of our lives. Enikő trained as an athlete at school, in the past few years she started running, cycling and hiking. Balázs was a member of a folk dance group and used to roller-skate at the secondary school. He is not keen on running at all, but he is a whale of cycling and hiking. When we got time, we like climbing in- or outdoor.

We are both kind of spiritual, harmony is important for us in our life and in our relationship. We think that the family is the most important link in life. We love children, and we believe that you can't educate your child only with words. Setting an example that shapes the people who your children are going to be.

We've always been close to nature for a very early age. We do everything we can and possible in order to leave the smaller enviromental footprint. We would like to base our future life on eco-conscious philosophy. That is the reason why we choose bicycle or public transportation in the everyday life, and why we've chosen cycling for our journey. We are travelling human scale, causing less harm to our environment.


Together, hand in hand we go and see the world! We are going to there for each other, when it is difficult and when it is fun!
That's Enikő and Balázs.

news-4237 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:47:00 +0200 170mm SPEEDHUB for Fatbikes (update) https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/170mm-speedhub-for-fatbikes-update Yes, the rumors are true, the Rohloff AG are pleased to announce that we finally have a prototype 170mm O.L.D. Fatbike SPEEDHUB up and running.


A bit of background first. What is a Fatbike?:

The Fatbike scene has been growing steadily over the past few years in the US but has been slow to reach acceptance on this side of the Atlantic. Eurobike 2013 put an end to that pace and the show highlighted a vast number of manufacturers who now also include such a bike in their 2014 selection. These special bicycles sporting 4” Fat tires were originally built to enable riders the ability to continue cycling through the depths of winter where thick snow would have otherwise forced them to take a winter-break. The fat tires provide a much larger footprint and enable the cyclist to glide over the surface of soft terrain rather than sinking into it. Although the original concept was for snow bikes, this platform quickly became popular with desert/beach cyclists and swamp/mud cyclists for the exact same reason - the ability to keep going regardless of terrain. This trend kept growing in popularity and here we are today.

The conditions in which Fatbikes particularly excel are unfortunately also the same conditions in which derailleur gears typically fail. An IGH would be a perfect combination but there is one problem – the frame spacing.

To accommodate the fat tires, Fatbike manufacturers have had to choose between an asymmetric rear triangle or a wider spacing to avoid the chain colliding with the tire. Some manufacturers have even increased the almost standardized 170mm Fatbike frame spacing to 190mm in order to accept extra fat 5” tires for extreme snow/sand biking.

Although the axle of a regular singlespeed or derailleur hub can be extended fairly easily, the internal technology of a gear-hub hinders their manufacturers from simply lengthening the axles to fit these new standards. As far as we are aware (at time of press), there are no IGHs available to fit these fatbike frame spacings because of the complexity of such a conversion.

The Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 axle is 20mm in diameter and houses both the indexing and shifting mechanisms of the SPEEDHUB. Although we have investigated various options of enabling the SPEEDHUB to fit a wider frame spacing, this has not been possible to date due to shifting issues arising from the axle slightly flexing and/or twisting due to the extended length. Our new prototype SPEEDHUB 500/14-FAT design manages to avoid these problems and with a little luck, our ongoing tests will confirm the stability and shifting performance of this unit. We will have further details once our tests are completed.


Technical Info to prototype SPEEDHUB 500/14-FAT*:

  • Constructed around the 170mm O.L.D platform (10mm quick-release or M10 threaded/bolt-on)
  • Chainline = 71.5mm
  • Hub shell center-flange distance = 46.5mm
  • 32 hole, disc-brake models only


These dimensions will enable the use of 100mm wide rims and extra fat 5” tires to be used without the risk of the chain catching on the tire. The current prototype design will regrettably not enable current hubs to be converted (as has been rumoured).


*All specifications subject to change. Prices, leadtimes and ETA to be confirmed.

news-4228 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 11:56:00 +0200 NASA Rover Challenge in Huntsville/Alabama https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/nasa-rover-challenge-in-huntsville-alabama Airless into the solar-system

11 students from Switzerland, Germany, Russia and the USA are entering the NASA Rover Challenge in Huntsville/Alabama in two teams for the International Space Education Institute Leipzig. It was the most complex and difficult to carry through selection of the students since the first participation 8 years ago. The competition (formerly known as the NASA Moonbuggy Race), now includes plenty of new assessments and prepares the younger generations for scientific occupations which will later help them explore our solar system. The center of attention is for the selected students, apprentices and university students with their early practical experiences, open-mindedness, discipline and determination.

The constructed vehicle should simulate the challenges for students and their abilities, compared to those of a professional engineer, relatively close to reality. The most difficult challenge for all participants is the ban on pneumatic wheels (i.e. no air cabins are allowed). Many ideas have been issued and tried out. Which one of those will meet the high requirements of the race course is yet to be seen on the 10th-12th of April.

The intensive preparations of the European participants in 2 multinational teams took up 9 months with 220 activities in 4 countries. Many of those interested failed on the required discipline and concentration on tasks. Especially the team work, the multilingual interaction, the achievement of the practical experiences and the economical tasks were inescapable focus points. These were supported by many entities and private people, since there are few public budgets for international high-tech-competitions.

For one week the participants already have been preparing themselves for the big day in the rocket city Huntsville. They grow together as a team through their work. You are invited to read the reports of the 13 to 20 year olds in three different languages.

 

Over 80 teams with around 1000 participants are expected to come to the NASA Rover Challenge. The European teams carry a special media interest, as they unite people from various nations. An invitation to Washington where the NASA headquarters is located is on the plan. A team from the first Russian evening television program is expected. Never before, a 13-year old girl from Russia made it to a NASA-competition in the USA. Katarina Trsuheva of ‘Team Russia Highschool’ is the first. Her 18 year old front driver is from Siberia. The Russian team’s advisor is Evgeniy Zakutin, a aeronautics- and space-engineer from Moscow who currently lives in Leipzig.

Also from Leipzig is the newly introduced NASA-price: “Jesco von Puttkamer International Team Award”. It is given in two performance groups and will earn the participants $500 each.

Why O Why though couldn’t a bicycle fit down the chimney – I mean, that would be much more appreciated than the sweets and oranges that are traditionally received. Well, perhaps this is just because we were all too naughty that year and didn’t deserve it, perhaps it’s simply because a bicycle won’t fit. Well, it seems Dahon can help us with one of those issues.

 

Dahon, one of the global leading brands for folding bicycles, introduced a new stocking-filler at the Taipei show earlier in the year – the MU Rohloff Sport. Yes, that’s right, as of 2014 Dahons ever popular MU model will also be available complete with Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 and Gates Carbondrive belt system.

 

Dahon has refined its collection of performance bikes to include the new Mu Rohloff Sport model and adapted the frame to suit now featuring the classic Rohloff sliding dropouts. This 20” wheeled folder is packed with just as just as much technology as its larger counterparts. Not only will the classic MU size allow this folder to be taken on the trains and easily be stowed in small spaces aboard boats and caravans but the Carbondrive powered SPEEDHUB also allows this wonder to keep on going with a full low maintenance drive-train making it a very versatile machine indeed.

 

In addition to the high-tech drivetrain, Dahon have also ensured  the bike would stop properly and duly decide to equip the MU Rohloff Sport with a set of MT6 hydraulic disc brakes from Magura. A fantastic brake which is more than capable of ensuring the lightweight aluminium Dahon stops as well as it goes. The MU Rohloff Sport also incorporates clean, internal cable routing and is finished off with a set of Ergon grips, Dahon’s own performance saddle and super-adjust stem.

Dear SPEEDHUB friends,

Approximately 190.000 Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 IGHs are currently in use worldwide. Yourself or maybe a relative/friend has already decided upon our ‘Made in Germany’ 14 speed IGH as the transmission of choice for their bicycle. In doing so, you have played a direct role in ensuring the success of our company.

We thank-you sincerely for your support.

‘Rohloff Stories’ is the perfect gift for anyone wanting to learn more over the history of the Rohloff AG, the technology within our 14 speed IGH and the hidden potential of the transmission. The Hardback book covers these issues and more over 256 color pages. Included are 70 motivating stories from SPEEDHUB customers who have managed to clock-up a minimum of 60,000km with their SPEEDHUB 500/14 as well as impressive sporting achievements from talented amateurs and team riders alike. And what book would be complete without a few amusing and curious experiences from the technicians in our service department.

Die Zeitschrift Radtouren beschreibt das R+M Intercontinental mit folgenden einleitenden Sätzen: „Dieses Rad fordert seinen Besitzer förmlich dazu auf, es mit einer möglichst kompletten Langzeit-Radtour-Camping-Ausrüstung zu beladen und zu starten. Unter den Rädern der Feldweg, über dem Radler der Himmel. Der Weg ist das Ziel, die Rückkehr ungewiss.“ Das Urteil ist unter folgenden Link nachzulesen.

 

Testbericht: www.radtouren.de/intercontinental

Herstellerinformationen unter: www.r-m.de

 

 

Utopia Silbermöwe mit Rohloff Speedhub

"Die Utopia SilberMöwe ist seit 23 Jahren ein Klassiker unter den Reiserädern. Das Alter steht dem Rad gut zu Gesicht, denn die in diesem Zeitraum entwickelte Lebenserfahrung der Utopia-Spezialisten merkt man der Ausstattung sofort an. An dem Testrad der Redaktion, eine SilberMöwe 14-G, Rohloff, ist so ziemlich alles verbaut, wovon ein eingefleischter Reiseradler und Randonneurfan in dieser Kombination bislang nur zu träumen wagte.“ So beschreibt Radtouren das Utopia Silbermöwe. Unter folgenden Link ist der komplette Testbericht zu lesen.

news-1326 Fri, 24 May 2013 08:22:00 +0200 The Finnish light-bikepacking-cyclist Heikki Siivari is on the road again. https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/the-finnish-light-bikepacking-cyclist-heikki-siivari-is-on-the-road-again Heikki set off on his 2013 cycling tour yesterday leaving Ikaalinen (in South-West of Finland) behind him heading in the direction of Tallinn.

With luck his tour will go as according to plan which will take Heikki through multiple countries covering between 15,000 and 25,000km before September. The exact route is not yet defined and will strongly depend upon both the weather and other conditions en-route but the rough plan at present is to cycle through various Baltic countries, Eastern Europe, the Balkans and Bosporus. From there he will follow the Adriatic coastline north-west towards France.

Heikki hopes to arrive in France in good time to allow him a short detour to Spain (possibly Morocco too) and back. From there he plans to take a ferry to the U.K. and Ireland and onward later by ship to Iceland and Norway. Heikki intends to continue his cycle expedition from Norway on to Lapland before finally returning home to Ikaalinen.

Heikki Siivari is a Finnish geography student and passionate light-bikepacking cyclist who caught the attention of the cycle industry back in 2011 and 2012 with fascinating tales of his cycling exploits.

Heikki is currently sponsored by both the 'Rohloff AG' and 'Bike Station' in Finland.

Still living a car less lifestyle and riding my Rohloff equipped Moots everyday. I'm so excited to finally take my bike, that got a lot so much attention at the North American Handmade Bike Show, out into the wilderness and ride it to its limits. My training schedule is increasing, going out a few times each week on century + dirt rides and generally trying to get as much single track action in as possible including many weekend bikepacking trips.

This July I will be riding from Denver, CO up to Breckenridge, CO to compete in the Breck 100 mountain bike race after which my Farrhoots will take me to Denver where we will be competing in the 470 mile long Colorado Trail Race which snakes through the landscape from Denver, CO to Durango, CO. That's where everyone else's race stops but not mine. Once I get to Durango I will continue riding at a quick pace to South Lake Tahoe in California where my training will continue. So what am I training for? Next year, 2014, I will be competing in the Tour Divide Race - one of the most grueling self-supported MTB races in he world traveling along all 2,745 miles of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route which snakes through the Rocky Mountains all the way from Canada to the Mexican Border.

After the success of fellow SPEEDHUB rider Oliver Whalley in the Tour Divide last year, the Rohloff AG would like to wish Nic all the best with his training and upcoming challenges.If you want to find out more about Nic's travels and/or his specially build Farrhoots bike, his exploits can be followed on FaceBook by "liking" his page facebook.com/Farrhoots.

Next year, 2014, I will be competing in the Tour Divide Race - one of the most grueling self-supported MTB races in he world traveling along all 2,745 miles of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route which snakes through the Rocky Mountains all the way from Canada to the Mexican Border.

After the success of fellow SPEEDHUB rider Oliver Whalley in the Tour Divide last year, the Rohloff AG would like to wish Nic all the best with his training and upcoming challenges.If you want to find out more about Nic's travels and/or his specially build Farrhoots bike, his exploits can be followed on FaceBook by "liking" his page facebook.com/Farrhoots.

Still living a car less lifestyle and riding my Rohloff equipped Moots everyday. I'm so excited to finally take my bike, that got a lot so much attention at the North American Handmade Bike Show, out into the wilderness and ride it to its limits. My training schedule is increasing, going out a few times each week on century + dirt rides and generally trying to get as much single track action in as possible including many weekend bikepacking trips.

PG-Bikes hat in Zusammenarbeit mit „Munich Composites“ ein sehr extravagantes Carbon Bike inklusive Rohloff Speedhub 500/14 und Gates Carbon Drive entwickelt. Für dieses Schmuckstück gab es bereits auf der EUROBIKE 2012 einen Design Award.

BlackBraid Touring

built by Munich Composites

Robust und leicht - wir holen die Landpartie ins 21. Jahrhundert. Durch den leichten Carbonrahmen ist der BlackBraid Touring der ideale Begleiter. Funktionalität, perfekte Technik und ansprechendes Design zeichnen diesen Allrounder für Individualisten aus. Das Münchner Start-up entwickelte ein neues Verfahren zur Herstellung von geflochtenen Carbonrahmen. Das Besondere daran: Das leistungsstarke Material ist durch die neuartige Flechttechnik so stabil wie Metall und gleichzeitig leichter als Aluminium. In Zusammenarbeit mit PG ist daraus ein Meisterwerk für die Straße entstanden: Das PG BlackBraid built by Munich Composites. Das Bike kommt in zwei verschiedenen Ausführungen auf dem Markt. Als Fixie der ideale Begleiter in der Stadt; in der Touring-Version perfekt für lange Strecken.

Software such as Debian Server, Kubuntu, Libreoffice, Typo3, Firefox, KDE etc. The Thin-Clients used within our HQ work together with the open source project X2go. This easily allows us the ability to offer our employees a modern KDE based working place.


We have recently provided the X2Go project with a native RDP (Windows terminal server) implementation of their TCE-client. The majority of companies and universities tend to use mixed server presently. Thanks to this technology it is now possible to run both Linux and Windows terminal servers simultaneously on one X2Go Thin-Client. This will no doubt increase the popularity of the X2Go project for an increasing number of companies and institutions.

The Rohloff AG regularly sponsors open source projects, as we strongly believe it's important to give something back to the community!

A very sportive bicycle for commuter rides as well as or for longer cycle tours. The use of both a Rohloff SPEEDHUB and a Carbon Drive belt guarantee minimum required maintenance, the narrow tires offer reduced rolling resistance allowing for higher speeds and mudguards offer protection during rainy days. Using the Gilles Berthoud twist shifter, the Race Light allows regular racing handlebars to be used whilst keeping the twist shifter in the correct place - on top.

?The younger generation has made this program to the international center of its trade fair city long ago. Pupils and students of the Space Education Institute show their brilliancy at international space travel competitions receiving distinguished prices like: Best Design Award, Telemetry Award, System Safety Award and the World Championship in building a moon buggy. The exhibits meanwhile are placed in national museums of the NASA and Russia next to the Apollo lunar module in Huntsville and the Russian Lunochod in Kaluga. In the meantime students of the International Space Education Institute in Leipzig have built 3 moon buggies already which are equipped each with a Rohloff Speedhub 500/14. With the landing of "Curiosity" on Mars the work range has increased. Now the next vehicle should be a "Mars Buggy". We are looking forward to it!

A bicycle tour from Berlin to India for charity. Over 10,000km leave enough space to advertise for the realisation of a project for sustaining dry toilets in India.

In addition the three bicycle travelers want to draw attention to the fact that billions of people world wide have not even the simplest sanitary facilities and 780 million people have no clear drinking water.

The young men collect money on the tour for their India project. With these donations sanitary installations are financed to work against contamination of the waters of the arid environment and to provide a solid infrastructure for the poorest of the poor.

The 'Shell, Eco-marathon. Following 3 years at the Brandenburg 'Lausitzring', the competition moved up a step and for the first time took place in the city-centre and thus under more realistic conditions. The challenge is simple - To design and construct a vehicle with the least thirst possible. The participants were all given approximately 1 liter of fuel with which to cover the greatest distance possible. A simple task but difficult to achieve! This year saw over 3000 students taking part and over 180 teams from a total of 24 different nations.

After 4 successful laps the results were in:
The team „High Efficiency Karlsruhe“ achieved an impressive 667km with their 1 Liter of fuel. With that result the students won a respectable 18th place (out of 43 total teams) in the Prototype class on this their 2nd ever competition. This result made them the second fastest German team and what transmission system do you think helped them win this? Thats right, a Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14!

Most German School children will find it hard to conceive spending their Easter holidays in the US. This has however become routine over the last 6 years for the various pilots and mechanics of the European NASA-Moonbuggy-Race teams. This year was slightly different however and instead of the usual team consisting of 4-6 pupils, a total of 20 pupils from 4 countries set off to the rocket station of Huntsville Alabama to represent Europe. These 20 pupils were the only representation for the European continent.

The Moonbuggy Race is a NASA supported international competition designed to encourage both the advancement of scientific, technical abilities. The goal is to create a successor for the original Lunar-Rover - to create a vehicle powered by pure muscle force capable of successfully crossing a moon-like course. The competition requires the highest levels of technical ability, teamwork, enthusiasm, and mechanical proficiency and athletic ability from the teams in order to bring home the coveted first prize trophy.

The race took place on the 13th and 14th of April in Huntsville Alabama.

news-1130 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:36:00 +0100 Cycle for Rwanda sponsored by Rohloff https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/cycle-for-rwanda-sponsored-by-rohloff The riders will start the ‘Cycle to Rwanda’ trek on 28th April 2012 from Nowton Park, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, and ending in the capital of Rwanda, Kigali. The team are appealing for riders to accompany them on the first leg of the journey from Bury St Edmunds to Harwich on Saturday 28 April starting at 1pm from Nowton Park, led by the Mayor of St Edmundsbury Christopher Spicer and Paralympian Brian Aldis.

Why Rwanda?
The Arena has been chosen to host the Rwandan Olympic and Paralympic teams Pre-Games Training Camp as they prepare for London 2012. The team aim to arrive in Kigali, Rwanda, in time to accompany the Rwandan Olympic team on their journey to Bury St Edmunds.

Why fund raise?

In 1994, Rwanda was torn apart by a brutal and swift genocide—in roughly 100 days, close to one million Rwandans were murdered. Since the end of the Genocide, Rwanda has enjoyed political and social stability. This has permitted the development of agriculture, roads, tourism, and mining industries. Nevertheless, large numbers of Rwandans live in poverty and disease and lack of education remain big issues in Rwanda. The Cycle to Rwanda challenge is part of the ‘Sport For Rwanda’ fundraising appeal which aims to raise £80,000 by 2012 to provide 140 schools in the country sports equipment and training materials to introduce sport to the Rwandan educational curriculum, through charity Rwandan Aid. ‘Sport For Rwanda’ was set up by the St Edmundsbury Olympic Steering Group as part of its Go Rwanda project to build a lasting legacy with Rwanda.

What route will they take?
The trek will take them from Bury St Edmunds to Harwich where they will cross by boat to the Hook of Holland. From there they will cycle the 700 miles through France to Marseille, taking a total of six days. They will travel from Marseille by ferry to Tunisia’s ferry port and then cycle 1,750 miles in 18 days through Tunisia and Libya (recent events may change the route nearer to the challenge) to Cairo in Egypt. From Cairo they will journey 1895 miles in 18 days across Egypt and Sudan to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. The final leg of their journey will take 16 days and 1,605 miles from Ethiopia through Kenya and Uganda to Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.

(I'll bet...). He bet he could pull a 1,5 t heavy VW with his trail bike over 50m along. He won his bet in a controlled and relaxed manner. Unfortunately, however, it proved not quite enough to be crowned the shows 'bet king'. Marco had to be content with a second place position against the 'magic cube' bet. Marco is probably Germany's best known trail bike rider and still performs regularly in trail shows at various big events throughout Europe.

news-1124 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 10:37:00 +0200 '25 years of the Rohloff AG' - a Quarter-Century of Bicycle Transmission Components (Video)! https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/25-years-of-the-rohloff-ag-a-quarter-century-of-bicycle-transmission-components-video The Rohloff AG celebrated its 25th anniversary at the Eurobike 2011 show in Friedrichshafen with approximately 300 friends, guests, colleagues with whom we have collaborated in some way over the last 25 years.

 

In the video, Bernhard Rohloff explains that:- A quarter-century, or a little over 2 dozen years, slightly more than 9125 days is quite a substantial time when you think about it. Saying that however, looking back, many aspects seem as i they only happened just yesterday. "I can remember all the long days, working late into the evening when starting out before we founded the company Rohloff - the time where the company really was just family"!

"We (my wife Barbara and I) used to sit together with friends and passionately discuss bicycle components and methods of improving them. Frame geometry - head- and seattube angles, fork bend, weight, stiffness etc were all very hot topics back then. How can we push forward boundaries and improve efficiency?

Naturally the bible of every cycling enthusiast, the Brügelmann Catalogue lay each evening on the table alongside "Bike tech" and the technical reports from Hans Christian Smolik. Compulsory reading for everyone wishing to join the conversation!

Gunnar Fehlau has been working for the past 20 odd years in journalistic circles around the cycling industry.

The KTM eGnition/lim88 is THE E-Bike for mountain and all-terrain friends, regardless of whether it's freeride or downhill. The 1200W Clean Mobil motor sees to it that there is always enough power for such riding conditions, regardless of the gradient. The maximum torque of 150Nm (as a comparisum: the new Bosch drive has only 50Nm) serves for a mighty tail-wind up every hill.

 

A Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 serves as teh transmission to ensure the greatest possible range of gears are at hand to negotiate all types of terrain and the even gear increments ensure the correct gear can always be expected with each shift.

With 180mm suspension you'll have a enough range to cope with the roughest of trails ensuring maximum fun. The eGnition will allow you to reach areas which have previously been denied to you. The remotest and most beautiful trails are open to explore.

news-1062 Wed, 11 May 2011 09:43:00 +0200 Project Torpedalo: 14 gears, 38 days & 3000 miles of ocean https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/project-torpedalo-14-gears-38-days-3000-miles-of-ocean Mark Byass and Mike Sayer are both keen charity fundraisers and have undertaken numerous physical and mental challenges over previous years in order to raise funds for worthy causes. Their latest endeavor however will push them that one step further in an attempt to raise over a quarter million pounds and hopefully break a few world records along the way!


Project Torpedalo has been born. A predicted 28 month project to design, build and race a pedal powered boat capable of crossing the Atlantic ocean (achieved previously only twice) in a projected 38 days. This will not only smash the world pedalo record of 111 days but also break the pairs rowing world record which currently stands at 40 days and six hours!

 

All funds raised through from Project Torpedalo will be evenly distributed between both the 'mnda' (Motor Nurone Disease Association) and the 'Make a Wish Foundation'. These two charities are important to both Mark and Mike and will no doubt push their motivation that little bit further.


The Rohloff AG are delighted to be involved in such a unique project and have sponsored Project Torpedalo a special SPEEDHUB 500/14 for the task.


We wish the entire team Torpedalo all the best with the upcoming challenges.

news-364 Thu, 25 Nov 2010 12:16:00 +0100 Hesse's State Governor visits the Rohloff AG https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/hesses-state-governor-visits-the-rohloff-ag The Governor from Hesse - Volker Bouffier (CDU) was on tour in north Hesse on wednesday and found time to pay a visit to the Rohloff AG in Fuldatal. Mr Bouffier spoke of the recovering economy within the state and praised Rohloff for their contribution.

 

Barbara (Social Worker and Managing Director), and Bernhard Rohloff, Engineer, founded the enterprise in 1986. Numerous wins were achieved with their SLT99 bicycle chains between 1990 to 1993. Then came Bernhard Rohloff's latest development - a new age in bicycle hub transmission systems. This hub was and is (in Bouffier's own words) "the Ferrari amongst bicycle gear-hubs". Approximately 12 years later, the Rohloff AG (consisting of 45 employees) turns over more than ten Million Euro's annually of which 60% is through export worldwide. Thanks to international patents, this figure is sure to remain constant, guaranteeing their position among the competition.

Rohloff - „Made in Germany“. This phrase is used for the technology and is a truth that the family enterprise is incredibly proud of.

Barbara (Social Worker and Managing Director), and Bernhard Rohloff, Engineer, founded the enterprise in 1986. Numerous wins were achieved with their SLT99 bicycle chains between 1990 to 1993. Then came Bernhard Rohloff's latest development - a new age in bicycle hub transmission systems. This hub was and is (in Bouffier's own words) "the Ferrari amongst bicycle gear-hubs". Approximately 12 years later, the Rohloff AG (consisting of 45 employees) turns over more than ten Million Euro's annually of which 60% is through export worldwide. Thanks to international patents, this figure is sure to remain constant, guaranteeing their position among the competition.

Rohloff - „Made in Germany“. This phrase is used for the technology and is a truth that the family enterprise is incredibly proud of.

news-728 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 13:16:00 +0200 Rohloff AG wins "The Most Bicycle-Friendly Employer" Contest https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/rohloff-ag-wins-the-most-bicycle-friendly-employer-contest On October 27th 2010 the Rohloff AG was awarded in the Technoseum in Mannheim/Germany as "The Most Bicycle-Friendly Employer" of Germany (category - company size: 10-50 employees). The organisation B.A.U.M. e.V. started this contest at the beginning of 2010 for the very first time. Conditions were: Bicycle riding is healthy and preserves climat and environment. This contest was directed to employers and honorated the conceptual and all-embracing effort of the employer to encourage cycling of their employees.

 


Website of the contest: http://www.fahrrad-fit.de


The bicycle is an absolute climate and environment friendly means of transportation and an excellent and often faster alternative to the motor vehicle in built up areas and for short trips. Nevertheless, it is often underestimated and has, therefore, a minor significance especially for businesses. Because of that, B.A.U.M. wants to contribute to the use of bicycles in the companies. This means using the bicycle for the commute to and from work in the close proximity and for short distance business trips. The aim of the activity is to help promotion of bicycles as a means of transport in companies and to establish there a permanent bicycle promotion.

 

The contest has been supported by the German minister of transport Dr. Peter Ramsauer and the former environmental minister Prof. Dr. Klaus Töpfer.

This tour has not only stretched Hauschke and his two companions to their very limits, but in the same way has streched the limits of their expedition material and above all, from Hauschke's bike. The especially modified series-produced mountain bike with a value of 8,000 EUR should find at last its place in the German Sport & Olympia Museum as an exhibition object .

news-812 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 13:34:00 +0200 Rectification of an Article in Magazine Aktiv-Radfahren to SPEEDHUB Weight! https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/rectification-of-an-article-in-magazine-aktiv-radfahren-to-speedhub-weight On page 69 in the Sept.-Oct. 2010 issue of Aktiv-Radfahren magazine, there is a comparison between the weights of Shimano's Alfine 11-speed hub and the Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14. In this article it is said that the Shimano Alfine 11-speed hub would be 250g lighter than the Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14. This is incorrect! The difference in official weights is accountable to different methods of weighing. If the Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 be put on the scales and weighed identically to the Shimano Alfine 11-speed hub (see photo to the right) the SPEEDHUB 500/14 would only weigh approx. 1545g.

 

In other words, if teh weighing methods were identical between both products, the article would have read "The SPEEDHUB 500/14 is 100g lighter than the Shimano Alfine 11-speed hub". Additionally the weight of the Shimano Alfine 11-speed hub was stated wrongly in the article with 1590g. Here it should be better to stick to the specifications of the manufacturer with approx. 1650g.

Third Element, the Munich based company has developed an electric motor for mountain bikes, which allows speeds of up to 45km/h even over off-road terrain. The bike is named Espire. It has a strong aluminium frame and is equipped with a 14-speed Rohloff SPEEDHUB and disc brakes. Looks just like a classy mountain bike with only the cover on the lower frame as a giveaway that there may be more to the bike than meets the eye. Under the cover, there is a middle motor as well as a storage battery. The Espire weighs just over 30kg and has an operating distance of 90km if the E-Spire rider pedals hard. But it is also possible to ride this bike without any physical effort from the pedals. Although the Espire looks like a regular bicycle,it will require a drivers licence because of the speeds which are possible. The Espire from Third Element is manufactured at motorcycle company MZ in Zschopau.

On Tuesday April 6th, 2010 Hesse TV Channel HR is broadcasting "Hesse Family Enterprises with Tradition" a report about the Rohloff company:

Hesse Family Enterprises With Tradition

Broadcast: Hessische Familienbetriebe mit Tradition

Date of broadcastin: April 6th, 2010

Channel: Hessischer Rundfunk
Language: German

Contens:
A stressed picture of a family, which builds up something together, which has a vision - yes, something like that still exists. A circumstance which is indepted on the one hand to a high-quality handmade kind of work, but on the other hand mostly to a family guidance of the enterprise. Bosses and female bosses who work on it and who are there where they are needed. These are absolutely success stories.  Family enterprises in Hesse are top. They work and operate economically very sucessful together - both with heart and wits.

 

 

Such happens at Rohloff in Fuldatal-Kassel/Germany:

 

In Kassel everything goes around the bicycle - or better how it is driven. Rohloff: that means 45 people who work together engaged in the building of top quality bicycle drives. Here, the often inaccurate used idea of big work families makes sense.

 

At the beginning there was the chain: a masterpiece, especially narrow, especially durable, especially reliable. And a machine to build this chain, which had been invented 1989 by Bernhard "Bernie" Rohloff, director and innovator, and which had run for the first time in a living room. Even though the chain belongs to the best what makes bicycles run, it was only a means to an end, a stepping stone in a new age of bicycle drives like the one only an engineer can dream of. The great component manufacturer Campagnolo has sent his stars equipped with new derailleur gear system for which the Rohloff Company has built the exactly fitting chain to the Tour de France.

 

But the original dream of Bernie Rohloff was the bicycle drive of the future: a 14-speed internal gear hub, what was not easy to become reality. He still remembers, when he was thinking: Today is the day of days… and he checked and calculated all day and in the evening nothing came out of it. But he has never given up the idea, and finally he discovered that each failure bears important insights. Now its there, the ultimate gear hub named "Speedhub": 14 gears compact and efficiently.

 

In the "Speedhub" production everything is like in a clock manufactory. The assembly of the three planet drives and their interaction is so complicated the competitors were never able to introduce a similar product on the market. For Bernhard Rohloff and his wife Barbara the employees are the major property of the company and each single worker should feel good to be here. With their developments Rohloff has made many cyclists happy worldwide.

Hesse Family Enterprises With Tradition

Broadcast: Hessische Familienbetriebe mit Tradition

Date of broadcastin: April 6th, 2010

Channel: Hessischer Rundfunk
Language: German

Contens:
A stressed picture of a family, which builds up something together, which has a vision - yes, something like that still exists. A circumstance which is indepted on the one hand to a high-quality handmade kind of work, but on the other hand mostly to a family guidance of the enterprise. Bosses and female bosses who work on it and who are there where they are needed. These are absolutely success stories.  Family enterprises in Hesse are top. They work and operate economically very sucessful together - both with heart and wits.

 

 

Such happens at Rohloff in Fuldatal-Kassel/Germany:

 

In Kassel everything goes around the bicycle - or better how it is driven. Rohloff: that means 45 people who work together engaged in the building of top quality bicycle drives. Here, the often inaccurate used idea of big work families makes sense.

 

At the beginning there was the chain: a masterpiece, especially narrow, especially durable, especially reliable. And a machine to build this chain, which had been invented 1989 by Bernhard "Bernie" Rohloff, director and innovator, and which had run for the first time in a living room. Even though the chain belongs to the best what makes bicycles run, it was only a means to an end, a stepping stone in a new age of bicycle drives like the one only an engineer can dream of. The great component manufacturer Campagnolo has sent his stars equipped with new derailleur gear system for which the Rohloff Company has built the exactly fitting chain to the Tour de France.

 

But the original dream of Bernie Rohloff was the bicycle drive of the future: a 14-speed internal gear hub, what was not easy to become reality. He still remembers, when he was thinking: Today is the day of days… and he checked and calculated all day and in the evening nothing came out of it. But he has never given up the idea, and finally he discovered that each failure bears important insights. Now its there, the ultimate gear hub named "Speedhub": 14 gears compact and efficiently.

 

In the "Speedhub" production everything is like in a clock manufactory. The assembly of the three planet drives and their interaction is so complicated the competitors were never able to introduce a similar product on the market. For Bernhard Rohloff and his wife Barbara the employees are the major property of the company and each single worker should feel good to be here. With their developments Rohloff has made many cyclists happy worldwide. And with the outlook more and more people wants to be mobile with a bicycle they may look confidently into the future – That is what they always have done and have made their investment in this direction.

news-363 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:37:00 +0100 Rohloff-Stories - The new book is available https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/rohloff-stories-the-new-book-is-available We are pleased to announce that our book „Rohloff-Stories“ is now in stock and available as the perfect Christmas present. The book can be ordered through our extensive list of quality retailers as well as through our Onlineshop. At present, the book is unfortunately only available in German. We hope to have the English version available in April of 2010.

Rohloff-Stories, a book from cyclists filled with reports which increase the passion for our beloved sport. Following 10 years production of the 14-Speed bicycle gear-hub SPEEDHUB 500/14, the 100,000th gear-unit was hand built before an audience at the Eurobike show in Friedrichshafen. We used this occasion to take a look back to where it all started and kick off our new campaign - „WANTED-100.000 km“, in which we set off in search of the kilometre kings and queens with their high-mileage SPEEDHUBs.

The large number of participants now swapped their bike saddles for their desk stools and got to writing. SPEEDHUB users  reported their informative and entertaining stories of how they reached the high mileage with their SPEEDHUB gear unit. The book also contains reports from our sponsored riders, our sporting achievements and is rounded off with a very personally written short story over the difficult but successful coming-of-age of the Rohloff AG. An interesting glance behind the scenes which tells the remarkable story behind the story.
Last but not least, the technology of the SPEEDHUB is illustrated within the book to give all readers an insight into the wondrous hub which powers their bicycle.

Approximately 480 photos illustrate 256 pages and the resulting book captures the imagination of all readers, the stories, reports, successes and triumphs are just the thing to get the blood pumping in all passionate cyclists. „Rohloff Stories“ is an ideal Christmas present which will inspire all readers and help Rohloff fans survive the winter months until the return of the cycling season.
