Travel Tips
The Basics of Cycling Tourism
A course to introduce you to cycling
Cycling tourism is an extraordinary way to explore our planet. This human-scale mode of travel allows you to appreciate the unique features of every mile, savor every moment spent on the road, and make the journey itself the highlight of your trip. What’s more, it’s an eco-friendly way to explore our various destinations, allowing you to manage your own travel, pace, and itinerary according to your preferences and current fitness level.
