How To Choose A Bike Tour

By Debra Adams


From adventure trips to leisurely rides through the countryside, exploring the world by bicycle is a great option for travelers, cyclists and even those who do not consider themselves athletes. In short, this experience is for everyone. As long as a person is fit enough to travel and fully aware with your his or her, anyone may enjoy a cycling trip.

Here are important aspects to keep in mind to start your outdoor activity. Know first the pros and cons of traveling by bikes, learn various tour choices, and the basic ways to prepare for the travel. Typically, there are certain types of Door County bike tour and travels that can be suited for all fit cyclists and people with little biking experience.

Operators are labeling their tours as easy, moderate and difficult to help every traveler find the right level based on their personal abilities. Most travelers also prefer bike tours to challenge themselves and set their physical limits. Some travelers want to gain more experience in traveling instead of riding on a bus or in a car. The good thing is that biking is beneficial for your health and to the environment as well.

Always remember that cycling is not for all individuals interested in such outdoor activity. For those who are unwilling to train themselves beforehand and those who are out of shape should never try this activity as it may only injure or exhaust you along the way. Also, if you are not prepared for heat exposure, inclement weather, and muscle aches, then better keep yourself away from biking.

Hiring a tour company is much better than preparing everything yourself. But once you are experienced in the field and done making a route, hiring is no longer necessary. Touring companies usually supply the bikes needed by their customers and plan the route. These companies are also guided by professional tourist guides.

For veteran bikers, you may design your personal cycling tour. But it requires you more research and planning beforehand. You will also need detailed maps, appropriate gear, and tools to fix minor mechanical problems that may arise along the way. Actually, this is a preferable option for those experienced bikers who already know their limits and want to have their own pace.

When you consider a tour service, no need for you to bring your bicycle since they will supply the appropriate bike for you. But when you choose to travel yourself, you still need to bring your own things. If you depend on local bike rentals, then remember that not all of them offer the best bicycle you need particularly if you will be using it as a mode of transportation.

Bringing other things will always depend on whether you will be traveling independently or taking a tour. In either case, you should bring enough clothes suitable for all potential weather, a water bottle, energy bars, and other snacks, as well as a detailed map whether they are given by the operator or acquired by yourself.

Ideally, self guided travels are much cheaper than a guided trip. In fact, independent bikers can be done for a lesser amount but depends on the choice of accommodation. For budget conscious travelers, having your own camping gear and equipment is crucial or you may prefer to stay in hostels.
