But even on the super-efficient European train network, one thing tends to stop her in her tracks when she’s en-route to her destination.

“It’s really funny,” the 27-year-old bikepacking enthusiast tells us. “I’m constantly being asked about the bike by commuters at the station. Two strangers have even asked for photos!”

Luckily, that’s where the slight delays end for Clara. It’s a different story when she and her BG make it to the carriage.

“The BG has been so good for adventures. If I’m at an indoor climbing centre, it stores away neatly. If I’m out in nature and need to jump between rocks, for example, I can just carry it. My friends found it funny to begin with, but once they gave it a go, they fell in love with it.”

“It’s just so fun to ride,” she concludes. “It really feels like I’m back on my first BMX!”
