Karen Greiderer has always been a passionate cycling tourist, but when she was pregnant with her first child, she faced these very questions: "Is the time for adventure and cycling touring now over?" For Karen, the answer was quickly clear: "Absolutely not!"„
„"I believe that if the parents feel comfortable and you find a place where you feel comfortable, then it will definitely work."“

Since Karen's children were born, she's experimented a lot. How can she satisfy her need for travel and cycling adventures while also having great family time? She's now a true family cycling expert and wants to motivate others to embark on more cycling adventures. What Karen finds to be the biggest difference between traveling alone and traveling with small children:
„"The planning was indeed meticulous, down to the smallest detail. The routes and stages were planned more precisely. The vehicle fleet was examined more closely."„
