Fixed gear bikes/ Post your big bikes V2

Yeah keep the updates coming, sounds like youre having fun. Tried warmshowers.org? You may have better luck than Tinder! Ive been looking at using my phone of a small tablet instead to save weight etc. I can see how using maps and asking people can lead to more serendipitous discoveries, though. My initial plan is to cycle from nothern Spain, through France, the Alps, and head east through to Bulgaria.

Haven't used warm showers yet. My biggest regret is not getting a french SIM card so I could use 3G. I'll get one when I get to Italy for sure though. Would be nice to have a constant internet connection for that stuff instead of having to hunt down a Wifi spot. France seems to be lacking in the free wifi department. McDonalds is always good though. And you can use their bathrooms to clean yourself up a bit.

I considered bringing my laptop with me but I'm glad I didn't. My phone is more than enough.  Once you have a decent enough phone you should be alright. I'm using an iPhone 6 and it's great.

How do you plan to keep all your electronics charged? I'm using a Shimano Dynamo with a Supernova The Plug 3 usb topcap. Works really well in flat areas. Places with a lot of climbing I struggle to keep a constant speed so it doesn't charge.

Keep the questions coming!

Hugh, are you riding clipped in or on flats?

[Sebastian]

All of that makes sense, except for, an entire dozen eggs?!

Flats. Trail mixes to be precise.

8 fried for breakfast. Hard boil 4 while I'm eating breakfast to eat for lunch. I like eggs

Don't get me wrong, eggs are pretty staple, but DAMN

[Zoidberg]

You must be farting a hole in the ozone layer.

How many eggs a day is too many? Farts are pretty bad alright. At least no one has to share a tent with me haha

[hugh.]

I'm in Cannes now btw. I've never seen so many 'my dick is bigger than yours' boats before. Holy fuck

[hugh.]

Just took my bike around the Monaco F1 track. Even overtook an F50. Granted it was in slow traffic

I used to eat 10-12 a day when I was doing a no carb thing. Now I average about 2 dozen a week. Eggs are such a versatile and healthy food. I mostly just throw a fried egg on top of every meal.

[Narcoleptic Insomniac]

I love eggs and eat them every day but 2 dozen a week is a lot.

[Sasha]

I probably eat about 3 eggs a day. They're great.
