Driving habits in Uganda are pretty crazy! People don't understand the concept of keeping enough distance while overtaking - it is preferred to honk the horn like crazy, expect the cyclist to vanish beyond the shoulder and then overtake with just a few centimetres distance...of course the second line is completely free while this happens...and of course brakes are not allowed to be used in this process 🤔 #uganda #cyclinglife #cyclinguganda #vpacebikes #t2st #titaniumbikes #nevernotriding #neverstopexploring #adventureisoutthere #adventurelifestyle #bikepackinglife #bikepacking #ortlieb_waterproof #tubus #brookscambium #keeponexploring #intothewild #outsideisfree #fastandlight #thebeautyofcycling #velosophics #adventurecycling #biketouring #packlighttravelfar #dropbarbikes #crazytraffic (hier: Kibale District) https://www.instagram.com/p/BouQ99GCBdW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=152xhh5idz2mj

Lunch at Sempira's Restaurant. Best food in town for less than a dollar. Matoke, rice, beef. Everyday life bikepacking Uganda...on the way to Fort Portal... #uganda #cyclinglife #cyclinguganda #vpacebikes #t2st #titaniumbikes #nevernotriding #neverstopexploring #adventureisoutthere #adventurelifestyle #bikepackinglife #bikepacking #ortlieb_waterproof #tubus #brookscambium #keeponexploring #intothewild #outsideisfree #fastandlight #thebeautyofcycling #velosophics #adventurecycling #biketouring #packlighttravelfar #dropbarbikes (hier: Kibale District) https://www.instagram.com/p/BouOBdqi-d8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5l3t9cij76t4

Camping on Karamajong land - what a night and what a beautiful setting!!! I was naked and just about to use my beloved outdoor shower last night when suddenly about 20 armed Karamajong people showed up and started shouting at us... It needed a long chat to the chairman of the tribe to convince the people that we are no armed rebels but peaceful Bikepackers who just want to rest for the night... #uganda #cyclinglife #cyclinguganda #vpacebikes #t2st #titaniumbikes #nevernotriding #neverstopexploring #adventureisoutthere #adventurelifestyle #bikepackinglife #bikepacking #ortlieb_waterproof #tubus #karamajong #karamoja #keeponexploring #intothewild #outsideisfree #fastandlight #thebeautyofcycling #velosophics #adventurecycling #camping #packlighttravelfar #dropbarbikes (hier: Moroto District) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn8dLo9BtGv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o7iwmmt86jep

Good morning from Katakwi! Asked a random person (David) if we could put up the tent in his compound garden and ended up been given a full empty house with electricity, toilet and shower... bikepacking luxury...Uganda kindness...😀 #uganda #cyclinglife #cyclinguganda #vpacebikes #t2st #titaniumbikes #nevernotriding #neverstopexploring #adventureisoutthere #adventurelifestyle #bikepackinglife #bikepacking #ortlieb_waterproof #tubus #tarptent #bowfin1 #camping #keeponexploring #intothewild #outsideisfree #kindness #thebeautyofcycling #velosophics #adventurecycling #biketouring #packlighttravelfar #dropbarbikes https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn25XXJhu2R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c0dy07uisiqr

Already two weeks ago when riding back from Sipi to Jinja I challenged myself to ride from Mbale back to Jinja in a day - 145 km - worked out fine although I started only at lunch time... half of the way was in the rain and not much fun. In the picture I was just gearing up with my rain gear...the kids loved to watch the Mzungu doing funny things... #uganda #cyclinglife #cyclinguganda #vpacebikes #t2st #titaniumbikes #nevernotriding #neverstopexploring #adventureisoutthere #adventurelifestyle #bikepackinglife #bikepacking #ortlieb_waterproof #tubus #kids #keeponexploring #intothewild #outsideisfree #fastandlight #thebeautyofcycling #velosophics #adventurecycling #biketouring #packlighttravelfar #dropbarbikes #kidsofuganda (hier: Namutumba District) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnweIqwCozf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mubsjpn7wubu

I love to start the day without knowing where it will end. I just trust in the unknown...trust that I will always find a safe place for the night...might be a place to pitch the tent, a simple room, a church, a school or whatever. Today I had a very late lunch in Mbale...I cycled out of the city after 4:30 pm, which is definitely too late to make it to Sipi Falls as they are more then 50km away uphill (and I had already pedaled 70km by that moment)...I thought whatever...baught two Rolex (this is how the locals call a roll made of chapati bread and omelette😊) as food supply for the evening and morning... maybe this will be my first camping out there in the wild...I thought. In the end I was lucky again...I cycled through a beautiful landscape with a nice evening view on mount Elgon...a slow lorry passed me and I was able to hook on to it for some nice lorry surfing with 50 to 60 km/h (don't try this at home kids 😁)...and just before the sun went down bumbed into this simple and cheap guesthouse with very friendly staff. I cycled about 100km today and I'm just 25km away from the Sipi Falls... looking forward to reach them tomorrow morning. Now enjoying a Nile Special beer under the mosquito net...good night 😉 #uganda #cyclinglife #cyclinguganda #vpacebikes #t2st #titaniumbikes #nevernotriding #neverstopexploring #adventureisoutthere #adventurelifestyle #bikepackinglife #bikepacking #ortlieb_waterproof #tubus #keeponexploring #intothewild #outsideisfree #fastandlight #thebeautyofcycling #velosophics #adventurecycling #biketouring #packlighttravelfar #dropbarbikes #placeforthenight #bedroom (hier: Sironko District) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnErlDUBwth/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tj6rpmfsx3e9
