North Sea to Adriatic Cycle Tour - Ep 4 Karlsruhe-Lk Constance: EuroVelo 15: France and Switzerland

[@VictorPogson]

Daphne - thanks for sharing these super videos. They provided me with inspiration and guidance to tackle EV15 myself from Rotterdam to Basel in 2023, when I cycled from my home in Yorkshire, UK to Basel, Switzerland where my wife works. It made a great change from the regular flights by easyJet, although I have to say it cost a lot more! So pleased that I tackled the challenge and now I am re-watching your videos to remind me of my own journey. Thank you for re-kindling my love of cycling.

Hi, Enjoying your cycle through Europe. Looking forward to the following episodes. Keep up the great work!

[@daphnebehindbars]

Thanks for the nice comment Peter! Glad you're enjoying the ride!

Hi, also inspired by your beautiful production. Such credit to you both. I'm only on the 4th episode. I love the way you briefly summarize the trip at the beginning of each episode. 'm in melbourne and seriously considering packing a duffle and my birdy and taking off . I notice you stay in paid camps and motels. Is there much scope for free camping along the route?

[@daphnebehindbars]

Thank you so much! We're hooked on cycle touring in Europe and there is so much to choose from, so I hope you do get a chance to go. Yes, we stayed in official campgrounds, but I know lots of people "free" or "wild" camp, and I would say in most areas on this route you could do that if you're discreet. Go for it!

Glad to see you popped into my adapted country - Switzerland. Irish by birth, Swiss by choice ;-)

[@daphnebehindbars]

Very cool!

[@cj99cj991]

Great videos, thx for sharing!! I’m looking at some Velo routes in France for this May and your travels have been so inspirational! I have some questions…gear/clothing, bike spares, camping site resources, camera gear et! Can I email or DM somehow? Thx again and keep up the great videos. You guys are truly living life and not just spectating ❤

Loving your trip so far. What Panniers are on your rear? would you use something different or do you like them?

[@daphnebehindbars]

Thanks for following along Steve! My panniers are Arkel - they happen to be Canadian made, and I'm very happy with them. They're durable and waterproof and haven't let me down yet.
