    Bike transport from santiago to Pamplona

    Does anyone have experience or suggestions regarding transporting a bicycle from Santiago to Pamplona? I believe the train can be a bit hit and miss and I have read horror stories of bikes being severely damaged when sent with correos. Any advice welcomed (other than riding it!)😄

    Bike packing service in SdC

    Would anyone know of a bike shop in SdC who offers a bike packing service to assist in me flying back home with my bike? I've searched in the forum but it appears some of the suggestions point to shops that unfortunately no longer exist. Any suggestions would be most grateful.

    E-bike charging on the camino - Contributing to cost

    I've seen a few threads where the idea of charging the e-bike battery while enjoying lunch at a restaurant, a coffee shop or Taberna, and concurrently how much to offer for a full charge at an Albergue, is floated.
