Not on the road yet, but here are some updates!

Hi everyone!
I am still here, not on the road yet, but I wanted to share some photos from this week.
I have been busy doing some funny, AND useful modifications to my danish bicycle (Principia).
The weather is slowly improving = getting warmer, and my plans are to start cycling beginning of may.
I am so greatful for all the inspiration I get from other people from all over the world who keep sharing their adventures and travels online on Youtube, Facebook and so on!
Thanks especially to:
Matthew Galat from USA (JaYoe Nation on Youtube)
Tice from Holland (Travelling Tice on Youtube)
Darren from USA (Bicycle Touring Pro on Youtube)
Chris Rishworth from Australia (Chris Rishworth on Youtube)
Yunus Kasapoglu from Turkey (Yunus Kasapoglu on Facebook)
Nicolai Bangsgaard from Denmark (Nicolai Bangsgaard on Youtube)

You're all fantastic and such inspirations for so many people interested in cycling, travelling and alternative lifestyles! I hope so to meet you all someday!

Stay tuned for more! :-)

My wonderful cycling companion, a mountainbike from Danish Principia

Added a big fender at the back and a handle for lifting the bike in certain situations

My Brooks saddle with a woolcover

After many attempts of adding a holder for my waterbladder, here is the result!

My cockpit: action camera mount, phone mount, holder for my Teasi Pro bicycle-GPS, old style horn, bicycle computer mount, classic bell and a holder for my Vaude Aqua Box handlebar bag

Bottleholder easy to reach while cycling and Swedish flags of course!

My bike and my Burley Nomad bicycle trailer, haven't decided yet if I will leave with or without it...

Just me and my bike :-)

Got new robust tires from Schwalbe, Big Apple...hope they work as well as they look!

Homemade luggage plate above the frontcase holders, love all colours so this seatpad was perfect!

Added some support to the holders at the back for heavy loads, and used some old tubes as protection against friction!

Also used old tubes as chainprotection, looks great!

Added a few extra bottle holders, one at the bottom of the frame and fastened most of them with clamps

Added some extra fenders at the back, used old ones and found this good solution!

Added a mount for an action camera at the back as well for some cool angles

Neoprene fork protection from Ali Express, very cheap but great!

Used the same rainbow seatpad at the back of the bike to look cool! ;-)

A strong handle from a motorcycle bag became a very useful carry handle for my bike, useful in a lot of situations!
