This video is actually super helpfull and informative! Thanks for sharing! I can see the amount of preparation and Editing this took.
Thank you so much for your comment. Stay tuned, 2 more videos are coming about South Italy.
Alain/Lucie - fellow Helix owner here. Thanks for the videos and beta testing the equipment. Looks like such fun. Look forward to doing some cyclotouring on the Helix once the accessories are released.
Thank you for all the really great information in this video. I'm fascinated the possibilities of this kind of folding bike ultralight bike packing.
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience!
Beautiful! Love the sites, the references and the way you travel! Great video!
Captivating review for sure. Brings back a lot of memories, I did a part in 2022 from Vienna to the source of the Danube.
Interesting ! We were initially motivated to start our journey at the source (Donaueschingen) but decided to postpone this section as we wanted to prioritize Budapest and did not have enough time. Eventually, we would start EV6 from the Atlantic and join the Danube. Enjoy your future rides.
Very informative!
Greetings from Northern California USA, This was a really nice video to watch. I've biked the Donau 2 times since 2021 and will be biking it again in 2025. Two new villages I want to stop and visit is Ybbs and Durnstein after watching this video. Thanks for putting this together . Cheers
Great, thanks for your nice comments and we might also go back one day since we liked it so much.
Hello friends. You are amazing...I admire you!!! Have nice trips!!!😃🚲🥇
Kalimera ! You are so kind ! We really wish to meet again, that was a lot of fun!
👍
Amazing couple, amazing journey, and amazing video! May I know the brand of your folding bikes please?
Amazing comments, thanks ! :). Our bikes are Helix ultralight that you can find at helix.ca They sell only online and ship everywhere in the world. We have more videos about our equipment in the 'Equipment' menu on freewheels.ca Enjoy!
that tail rack no longer looks like a prototype... I'm guessing you testing the end product? I have been waiting forever to get mine.
This is still a prototype with a completely different design from the 1st prototype. The end product is coming really soon and will also quite different from what you saw in this movie. I was told that it would be this month. Hopefully, your patience will be rewarded with a great product...
@@Freewheels_ca nice to know, thanks :)
Is the Helix rear bike rack available yet?
Unfortunately, not yet. I was told that the sample for production is being tested, so it should be very soon.
Can you share your itinerary from Vienna to Budapest?
Sure ! Be aware that in this section, we did not follow Eurovelo 6 entirely because we wanted to visit some Hungarian cities. Here is the link to the GPX: drive.google.com/file/d/1XR-TyijEfsyuMiP42xgRrVaS0DAypplv/view?usp=sharing
While it sounds beautiful, this trip is for ultra serious athletes. The fact that they just "threw on" a half marathon for the heck of it is way beyond my capability. Are there any cycle tours along that Austrian Danube for amateur cyclists?
I guarantee that there are many ways to do the Danube from a « transported luggage » manner to a self-camping scenario. The relief is flat, it is mostly on cycling path and one can select short or long distances as there are accommodations regularly. Most tour organisation quote it 1-2 on 5. So don’t be afraid of any difficulties.
