By train to Strasbourg, the capital city of Alsace. Here is the bike, named Virginia, just outside the train station.
Fully loaded: 2 Ortlieb panniers, the tent, a 25 liter backpack for the day and the toolbag.
The cathedral in Strasbourg. Look below right, I have already my first customer. The bike called attention everywhere.
People were very curious about this bike. They asked questions, congratulated me and were delighted. The hammock seat proved irresistible.
From Strasbourg to Molsheim and then south along the Route des Vins. In the picture below in the main square at Obernai.
Camping at Ribeauville, after good 100 km.
