EASIER THAN YOU THOUGHT
Get Off The Stationary Bike And Actually Go Somewhere!
Whether you want to push your legs to the limit or coast along in luxury, there's a cycling trip right for everyone who loves to ride

  • If the tour is far from home, bringing your entire bike can be a pain. Consider packing just your seat, pedals, and helmet, for comfort and safety.

  • Keep your ego in check when considering your level of cycling. One cyclist's "moderate" uphill is another's thigh-burning nightmare.

  • Always pack cool-weather and rain gear.

  • Many "all inclusive" bike trips do not cover lunch or alcohol.

  • Ask what kind of bike is included or you might wind up with an old, heavy ten-speed.
