Re: Vege, Vegan or Carnivore

Marmite is rich in vitamin B12, why would a vegan not eat it?

La Rochelle airport

I'll be in my car (with bike aboard) meeting some friends who will be landing at La Rochelle airport. Does anyone know of a parking lot anywhere nearby that I can park my car for a week? It doesn't look (from Google) like there are obvious places like at many airports.

Re: What do we think - French using drones

As I said, 30 minutes maximum before a battery change? It's not going to happen yet is it?

How are all these drones getting over the problem of battery life?

Re: Your Favourite Ride of Summer 2017

Last week on a ride to Confrides in the mountains outside Alicante, Spain. Tough but satisfying :) There's my brother on a corner...

Re: Velodyssey - what to skip?

The parts that go through Les Landes pine forest is a bit tedious.

Re: Cycling - legal requirements across Europe?

"Only a hi-viz and only in France. No helmets required for any of those."

As so often in real life, no-one takes a blind bit of notice of any of those 'rules'. I've never seen anyone riding a bike here in a hi-viz vest. Maybe a small child. Once.

Re: Empty bike bag transfer in france..!!

Surely you'd be better off taking the bike in a box, dumping it at Biarritz, then getting another box in Perpignan?
