    1. We have so much tax on gas in Europe. Prices have actually returned to pre-war levels in many countries so this is the "normal" price.

    2. If Lufthansa is such a bad option: why did you fly witht them and not any other airline?

      What's that bike by the way? It doesn't look like your latest Ripmo and misses all the bronze design and parts

    3. Hi – flying out from San Francisco direct to Switzerland with Edelweiss – Sport Luggage normally is for free. I’ve traveled with this company several times out from Switzerland and just had good service. Cheers and keep on pedalling

    4. Wow that is a hefty price to pay for the bike bags. Last time I flew with my evoc bag was before the pandemic, and it cost me 150 x 2 with Lufthansa.

    5. FYI, LOT does not charge for bikes as long as they do not exceed a standard luggage size (which most packed bikes dont), it’s their explicit policy. I’ve had the luggage people in the US be very confused at that multiple times, but usually going through the terms of carriage with them convinced the most stringent of customer service people.

    6. Pretty tough these guys pay thousands of dollars to have you and your wife come over there in hopes to attract riders from The USA and elsewhere and you spend the first ten minutes complaining about how awful traveling is there. It’s quite a thank you to your hosts. Sounds to me like you got a nice free trip. Maybe just start with Thank You and leave off your personal travel challenges. I’m sure you were treated amazing by two really nice guys trying to grow their small business.

    7. Is it possible to rent bikes on any of these trips ?? I know most rentals are probably pretty beat but at least u could ride- I’m thinking of going on a few trips but don’t want to go thru the travel hassle of lugging and losing my bike lol Thanks for the great videos 👍🏼
