The mountain bike is also a means of transportation. Four kayakers pedaled almost 800 kilometers through the Alps with bag, baggage and kayak on their bike trailers to navigate ten whitewater rivers and reach the spots in a climate-neutral way thanks to the bike. The Spaniard Sami Sauri took a similar approach: strapping her surfboard to her bike trailer, she cycled from surf spot to surf spot in Madeira, turning each section of the journey into a small journey in itself.

Lisbon is one of the coolest bike cities in Europe: trail connections to the nearby Sintra Mountains, countless city parks with first-class single trails and the wild Atlantic Ocean. From November 3 to 5, the season will end with a ride camp in Portugal. The registration deadline is October 10.
