Why I am looking for fellow cyclists
As a tour cyclist myself I know how little you actually have to earn before you would be able to extend your travel or even keep going permanently until your legs falls off. Personally the only reason I use Facebook is to be part of the tour cyclist group and share knowledge and experience with fellow people. I am looking to somehow create the same community on Steemit or at least a just meeting a few others who's tumbling around in the world. For now it would just be starting out small, get in touch with each other and maybe slowly making a list of people. Maybe we could expand this idea in the future when more people are coming in? Who knows?
How we are starting out
For now I would just suggest you to write down below if you are blogging about tour cycling/bike packing(or for the sake of it anything close to that). Does not matter if it is day tours or months you are doing, it's all about getting in touch with each other and see if we are creating content that could be interesting for each other to read(almost sounds like dating). I would love to have a few on my follower list that i both could support and share stories with. I already know a few but the more the better, right? It would be amazing to see how many of us already are in Steemit.

I will be doing multiple cycling trips this year and I'll probably post a little bit about them here on Steemit. I'm looking forward to following your upcoming cycling tour adventures and more content here related to cycling would be great

I think you have a good idea that will connect more cyclists together. When communities will be implemented into steemit, it will be much easier to find people with the same interests. I think this is what steemit is currently lacking, the ability to find and connect people with similar interests, but communities are not too far into the future, so we just have to wait!

SPOT ON, I did while writing this thought of mentioning communities but since I didnt know how the community thing would work I didn't dare. But you are completely right, communities are gonna be awesome for us!

Last year i was totally addicted with hiking. I am mentally preparing myself for cycling this year as well! I'll try my best. But my cycling posts will be probably only daily cycling. Even tho, we are talking about it with my work colleges to take a cycling weekend in the Italian Alps. Maybe this year? I always wanted to cycle to the top of Passo di Stelvio!
Btw maybe you could start a special/unique #tag.
#cycling4steemit sounds really catchy!

I wanted to make a post today/tomorrow regarding people with cycling post can start post under the tag #cycling4steemit to better gather people who wish to support each other! Would be AMAZING to see you post some cycling as well! although your hiking adventures are great!

Yes! I've been trying to find the cycists in the steemit community and it does take some time.
Although I haven't toured yet, I am training for a bike packing race that's 1000 miles unsupported so I'm sure I could find some wisdom from the community!

I've noticed him! for me it might feel a bit too spammy for my taste although it is a good way to gather. I am gonna also make a special tag called #cycling4steemit that everybody who wishes some support from me(and others who wanna join in on it ) can use, trying to make it feel more like a tight community, maybe when the community update comes up we can then take it further:) I will make a post about it today/tomorrow, I put you on my list !

Love this project. I am not a tour cyclist myself (although I've done a triathlon in the past) but consider it to be an extremely joyous activity and if I find myself in the right environment (people & nature) I would most certainly pick the sport of, it really appeals to me.
Good luck with your initiative, will stay tuned to see how it plays out🙏🏼

Not really tour related, but I have myself a decent length bike commute. I have been planning a winter cycling post for a bit, so after my ride tomorrow I may put something together. It is finally above 0F here now, so hoping for more road miles and less trainer miles!

I am starting from Denmark in mid April but I do not have a specific route just yet where I am going through Europe, last time I did it I kind of just went ahead and figured things out a long the way. is Cairo to Cape Town a specific route to take? could be interesting to look into !

Oh ok cool! Yeah the Cairo to Cape Town ride is a very popular bicycle touring route. The last stretch into Cape Town is on a road I do quite often and I always meet bicycle tourist who tell me they came from Cairo. Check out these links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_to_Cairo_Road

Hi Mikkel,
I stumbled accros the #cycling4steemit Tag and used it for my first cycling article. I hope that is ok. I`m so glad, I found that tag and your account via @felixxx. I really just started my blog and the first bike article was published yesterday. It is in German, but if the community is as big as I hope under the banner cycling4steemit, I will publish as well in English. How do you manage it? One version in Danish and one in English? Or just English?
Anyway, your project seems fantastic, and I don`t mean your epic bike tour (that is awesome as well), I mean the networking under one tag and the sense of community, supporting one another.
I`m on board, if you have space for a German cyclist, who is new to the scene but very enthusiastic.
I will concentrate my efforts on many daily tours and a few weekend tours to the nearby Central German Uplands but as soon as my legs (and my finances ;o) ) are capable enough, I want to cross borders as well and I can`t wait.
Here is the article, but as I said, it is in German. The next one will be bilingual.

Cheers and have fun on the road

great idea man! will join the crew. for years was thinking about writing about my travels but was too lazy/busy/unmotivated to run my own blog. Steemit seems to me like a good platform for this. Good luck with your travels man. might meet on the road one of these days. keep it rolling.
