Bike Holidays for Beginners

What could be more fun than going on a bicycle adventure? Discovering new and exciting destinations, spending time with fellow cyclists, and embracing the open road and whatever Mother Nature has to throw at you. But cycling, especially for longer distances, can be quite uncomfortable for many. 

Going on a cycling trip is probably one of the most exciting things you will do in your lifetime, but not overly exciting, if you know what I mean. It’s like one of the best road trips ever, full of adventures but also plenty of opportunities to relax. Especially if you go with a group led by an experienced cycling holiday organizer, you will come back from your vacation energized and with an increased love of biking and sightseeing. 

So, you’ve already signed up for that exciting cycling holiday you’ve been longing for. You packed your luggage, you know the routes, you booked your accommodation and even exercised a bit to prepare your body for the long rides. Just one last thing you should consider: is your bike ready too?

It all started with a very old bike given to me by my grandfather when I was only a few years old. It was big, hard to get on, it had no gears, and I would always fall behind when riding with my parents. Of course, it all became much easier as I grew.
