I donāt know about you, but I love it when somebody takes over the handlebars to bring the vehicle on a wonderful adventure.
This was the case of @pascalpensa riding the BroomWagon Podcast š into an interview with @adamwilkoszarski
Adam Wilkoszarski is a photographer from PoznaÅ, and in March 2026 he cycled 1100 kilometres through Poland, Czechia and Germany to Zurich. He rode his @monopole.cc through winter roads mostly alone, sleeping in his @apergear tent in temperatures around zero.
The plan sounded harsh, but he arrived two days early with the wonderful people at @batticuore.ch waiting for him in Zurich with cheerful faces and happy smiles.
Listen to the full story from the link in Bio, and remember that, if you want to bikepack, a cargobike is always a good solution.

@zueritrails & @monopole.cc partnering to keep Zurichās trail network moving.
Our #toolbike took the road less travelled, carried the essentials, and delivered efficient support off-road.
Clean integration. Reliable function. Meaningful input to the two-wheeled ecosystem we ride in.

50 Hours on the @612_parts Flat Pedals āļø
After a bit over a month on the @612_parts Flat Pedals, hereās how theyāre holding up. Real miles, real wear, and a few scars to prove it. Photos and clips show the pedals in action plus footprint comparisons with the Chromag Dagga, NSB Daemon, and DMR Vault.
Having helped design these after years riding the competition, itās good to see where the 612s land ā right in the sweet spot for platform size, grip and feel.
Key numbers:
𦶠120mm long - 112 mm wide
āļø Asymmetric underside shifts the leading edge back to avoid rock strikes
āļø Pin layout adds grip and a bit more usable space on the crank side ā perfect with wide Q-factor cranks (mine are 176 mm)
The real standout is the steel axle and bearing assembly:
⢠Sealed needle bearing on the crank side
⢠Dual ball bearings outboard
⢠All standard sizes ā replaceable anywhere, anytime
Serviceable. Durable. Call them the Forever Pedals.
After 50 hours across Valais, the Grisons, Finale Ligure, and plenty of home laps, theyāve stayed tight and smooth. Just remember: read the pin setup guide and use Loctite ā theyāll walk out if over-threaded.
Grip is great, and so far, the pins are kinder on shoe soles than most.
Over winter, Iāll test a few alternate pin styles to see if thereās even more traction to unlock.
As they stand, these pedals tick all the boxes for a large, confidence-inspiring platform thatās easy to live with, built tough, and simple to service.
