The Kickbike was bought online while we were in Ecuador. We arranged it to be shipped to an address in Atlanta, USA. That was March 2020 and I am liking this way of transport, especially for shorter tours. Yet, when we started this out, Geo and I tried to kick through several states in east of USA.
At home in the woods
Seasonal affective disorder. I wasn’t aware I suffer from this, as I either worked to save money for travel or I traveled/cycled somewhere warm and sunny (except when I cycled in Patagonia, it hit me hard). I only discovered SAD now while being in Hungary. Post 1 and post2

Hello! Are you going to Quebec, Gaspésie Canada?
Hi Serge, we are not coming to Canada. We are back in Europe to be exact. It was not our plan and I think we must train a bit more before we can do such distances together ; )
Greetings Cindy and Geo
Strange! I’m sidelined 2 months by tendon problems also. I haven’t jogged since it started!
Hi Pius, bad to hear. Maybe we get old? I just assumed that kickbiking would be not a problem and for Geo it wasn’t but for me… it became a huge inflammation! I just could not stand anymore. But after this Corona circus, it healed well and I can do more than ever before (kickbike wise), so, it seems it is healed. I wish that happens to you too!
Best of wishes to you, hug Cindy
