Bicycle Travelling Equipment

My bike is a Fahrrad-Manufaktur T-300 26 inches steel frame. We are exploring the world´s roads now together for more than 15 years and more than 75,000 km! Of course alomost all of the original components and parts have been replaced and upgraded over the years. But the frame still is as reliable as in 2002 when I started for a trip across Norway.

On my first cycling trips I used a Tatonka Arctis 3 tunnel. It´s been ok, but not strong enough for decent storms. Though acceptable for light weather trips in summer.

For the worldtrip I brought a Hilleberg Tarra, as it perfectly suits two persons. Combination of tunnel and geodesic tent Hilleberg Tarra (3.4 kg) - pros: inner and outer tent can be pitched each without the other, both have freestanding capability, enormous stability for worst conditions, two tent doors, large roof vent, two large vestibules.

In Australia I bought a tent that was more useful for solo travelling, a Kathmandu Aspre. Not too expensive, no high end materials though long lasting and decent quality, strong enough to survive ordinary storms (2.5 kg, two tent doors, two large vestibules).

A couple of years ago I bought a Hilleberg Rogen, which is an extremely lightweight dome construction tent with best quality materials (1.8 kg, two entrances, inner and outer tent can be pitched seperately, self-supporting design for tough pitching conditions, two large vestibules).
