Are you going on a journey by plane, train or coach? Then you need to ensure the comfort of your trip! Getting there by a means of transport other than your own car requires us to carefully packaged, so that the travel bag contains only the necessary things, without any unnecessary items.

What is bikepacking? This is traveling for lovers of two-wheelers in the style of "fast and light", that is, fast and light! Bikepacking combines the satisfaction of riding a lightly packed bike with the possibility of visiting new places.

I fondly remember the times when, as a boy, I observed scenes of neighbors helping to set up the trailer at every campsite. Whenever there was a problem, after disconnecting the tow truck, a neighbor (or several) appeared almost immediately and the problem was "under control" in a blink of an eye. Everyone helped by pushing, pulling and positioning as much as they could. Such manifestations of human kindness united and built bonds and belonging to the group centered around this beautiful hobby.

To prevent deterioration of the battery, it is recommended to fully charge it before storing it for a long time. A battery is not a passive material like metal or plastic - it contains chemical compounds that constantly react between them, even when the battery is not in use. Natural battery degradation can be prevented or significantly slowed down with proper maintenance. A little boost is better than no charge, but there are a few ways to make it more efficient. Marine & Leisure batteries should not be completely discharged. Full discharge shortens their life and reduces capacity. To avoid this, the batteries should be recharged whenever the open circuit voltage drops below 12.5 V.
