Hello!
My name is Ievgenii Pavlenko.
I am a cyclist from Potsdam, Germany, living with Multiple Sclerosis since 2009.
Through long-distance cycling, I want to show that borders are lines on maps — not limits in life.
In June 2026 I will ride approximately 900 km through Germany and Czechia on a birthday bikepacking adventure.
I will fight to the last.
As long as I can move, I will move.
Living with Multiple Sclerosis since 2009.

My name is Ievgenii Pavlenko.
I live in Potsdam, Germany and have been living with Multiple Sclerosis since 2009.
Despite the diagnosis, I continue travelling by bicycle across Europe, sleeping in a tent and exploring new countries.
My goal is to inspire others not to give up their dreams because of illness, age or circumstances.
