Hands-down, this must win the "most baggage" Oscar

I am an avid CGOAB follower, and am quite specific about what I follow, and writing style I like. I had never bothered with this journal, but just had a look. Quite genuinely he has at least 5-6 times what the most laden tourist has that I have ever seen.

The chainring in that second photo is a sight to behold!

Now there's a candidate for a large car.

Maybe the clue is in his title ?

Is that a battery I see before me?
On the underside of the downtube, with a lead to the bottom bracket.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Looks that way to me.

Is he on tour or moving house?

 

[Gravity Aided]

I gave up trying to read it, and looked at the pictures, which seem rooted in a reality of sorts. Glad he's moving to Amerika. That 1066 stuff will go over great here.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

He is taking part in the worlds strongest man finals this year...

The title meant nothing to me. I keep any eye on his journal but frankly I am lost when I try to understand

 

[jay clock]

Is that a Pinion gearbox?

Could be. But the rear wheel looks a bit like a regular cassette, but with no mech. There are so many questions about this guy that I suspect no-one can ever answer!

You may not be aware, but there has been a couple of discussions on the CGOAB forum about this (& his previous) journal.

From a cycling perspective it may be interesting to have a look and comment on his methods, but I'm not sure it's appropriate from a human perspective.

I have had a further look

https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/pics/docs/00/02/11/80/large/P3241532.JPG?v=0 appears to show that the battery is a mudguard? Also looks like he has more than one pair of handlebars?

I have deliberately not discussed the human side. I am genuinely curious as to how he gets going with all that stuff. I will look at CGOAB forum

Sadly, I have no photos of it, but I did manage to load up my first MTB most impressively in Calais once.
You know those crates of French lager, the ones with 24 little bottles? Half a dozen of those, and a case of Cote du Rhone.
The handling was...interesting, to say the least, and Cantis weren't really up to the job in 1985.
