Great post! A cycle tour of Europe is absolutely on my future to do list.
You say internal gears... is that a Rohloff set up... always fancied one.

Bikes really are awesome. Sounds like you've really had some great times with your most excellent machine!

That's for sure a life hack I am using as well! skipping cars and public transport saves a lot of money! Also for travelling this is the case lol! The only "fuel" I am paying for is my food to keep going:)
My internal gear system is "Pinion". It is usually seen as a new competitor to Rohloff, both systems are great though! the pinion system just has a larger range of gears and usually are considered to be more smooth. But also it comes with the downside that the Frame itself has to be made for pinion, so you cannot just slap it onto any bike like you would be able to with a rohloff.
Wow interesting. Never heard of Pinion before. I just learnt something. Cheers!
