Edvard Appelberg

Welcome to my homebuilt website. I am a Swede in my mid-twenties with an appetite for sports and exploring places I have not seen yet, preferably both at once. I live in Skellefteå, Sweden, where I spend my working days analysing electricity markets. The rest of the time goes to training, to learning something new (a language, a dish, or how to build a site like this one), and to working out where to ride next.

I ride because a bicycle moves at exactly the right speed: fast enough to cross a country, slow enough to experience all its colours. Moreover, bikepacking has an immersive feeling of freedom, problem-solving, and self-development. There are no sponsors behind any of this and no predetermined goal: the journeys run on curiosity alone… and on gelato. If you are looking for inspiration, each trip has its own page, and the journal has it day by day.
