Kim[13.08.2024] I always wondered how much my bike + luggage (tent, air mattress, clothes, food etc.) weighted, but I didn‘t have the equipment to find out. Suddenly, on my way to the Turkish border, at a very remote little town in Bulgaria, while stopping because I got komooted again, someone comes to me, happily waving their arms and inviting me to weigh my bike on a gigantic scale. I mean, what?!
