I made a thing like this years ago, with the cheesy domain getlon.lat. But I stopped maintaining it and renewing the domain. You can see it here: https://stevage.github.io/which-geocoder/

Wow, that is completely wild. I have done an absolute ton of cycle touring (at least 60 trips, in 5 countries), and the idea of buying a bike 2 weeks before a trip, and embarking on a solo journey like this with no experience blows my mind.
