Four quick questions for Jana

Cycling means to me...

...being fully in the moment. It's the most efficient way to move powered only by my own muscles, allowing me to cover long distances while experiencing my surroundings with all my senses. Whether I'm riding solo or with friends, I'm usually happiest on the bike.

My favorite moment on the bike...

...is that rush of excitement when a bikepacking trip or race finally begins. I love feeling truly “hungry for the ride” and knowing that, for a while, all I have to do is ride.

What I wish for the cycling scene...

...is that more women find the courage to line up at the start of ultra-distance races. Over long distances, performance evens out across genders! The bike is for everyone.

The BIKE FILM TOUR is for me...

...pure joy – seeing my passion for long rides spark something in others is just amazing.
