A bicycle with rear panniers parked on a steel walking bridge about 1 meter wide with faded red handrails and a concrete floor. The view looks down the bridge in the direction to be traveled, where the path disappears into overgrowth to the right, and a road running perpendicular to the bridge is visible much higher up the embankment.

A bicycle with front and rear panniers parked on a dirt path in front of a small footbridge over a rivulet, with the path beyond the bridge snaking upward through dense forest.
