Trip preparation - Morning Cycles

Dreaming of a trip and need advice to prepare it? Book some one-to-one time with one of our mechanic-advisers for a workshop focused on the specifics of your own bike.

You will learn to adjust derailleurs and brakes, change a chain or a broken spoke, fix a stubborn puncture and much more.

We also give you our best tips to pack your bike for the train or the plane.

It is also a good opportunity to choose the right gear for your trip: racks, panniers, bottles, etc. We will tell you which tools and spare parts to take with you.

Gain confidence in yourself and in your bike. Be ready to face the unexpected calmly.

And the pros we support

Eline Le Menestrel

Climber, cyclist and activist

Eline climbs, rides and campaigns. She questions the race for growth, even when it comes to new bikes: we own that. For her, mountains and forests are not playgrounds to consume, but places where we are guests. She pushes us to think further, without ever forgetting that cycling is for everyone.

Eugénie Misonne

5,140 km by bike across Europe for KickCancer

64 days of bikepacking through six countries: from Belgium to the Alps, from Provence to the Breton coast, with Mont Ventoux as a bonus, bags and all. Eugénie raised €8,000 for KickCancer, twice her goal. And her travel photos kept us dreaming all the way.

Guillaume Funck

All the way to Pakistan by bike, to fly a paraglider

Guillaume rode to Pakistan, through Turkey, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, to fly and climb in the Karakoram. On the menu: a summit above 6,000 m and back down by paraglider, flights over glaciers, plenty of hardships and a few comforts. A bit crazy, and we love it.
