Guys, thank you for all the suggestions to wear heated gear! I want to try some next spring! If you have any suggestions about brands or want to tell me what works for you drop me a comment here! Thank you! ❤️🙏🏻 And because there are so many questions: The trip was in July/August 2020 (please read the captions of the videos for more infos, most of the things you want to know can be found there :) )

My recommendations: Gerbing and Klim! They offer complete systems from collar to toes with battery connection or mobile battery packs included in the clothing. The clothing is lightweight and really warm! And you can wear each part separately, too of course, socks, gloves...

@@christophmensch3945 Yes, Gerbing was recommended to me often (never heard of it before though, so it's very interesting!). Do you know if you for example get some klim heated gear works better if you already have a klim jacket because they fit better together or doesnt that matter? I as well feel like getting something for upper body would probably already be a huge improvement - I rarely get cold on my feet with the right socks and my alpinestar toucans.

Hey Lea, sitting here, in my warm and cosy chair, watching your video and freeze. How can you motivate yourself, every day? It reminds me to day, in october, many years ago, when i drove my bike back home, from Berlin. More than 600 kilometres, 6-8 degrees and the half in rain. IT WAS MY WORST DAY ON BIKE! But you are still smiling!!! You both guys are really heroes. Big applause, for your achievement

The day smiles on the wheels of such beautiful rides... Nobles knights are greeted countless times with rain and cold, seeking shelter in remote and cold land... Mo I Rana! Toast with mujitos in their brief stay.

Nary a scratch anywhere. She looks brand new . Nicely equipped as well. Panniers, GPS , custom seat etc. I like that the electronics are minimal in comparison to some bikes.
