A lot of our customers have never been on a bike tour before, and we love introducing them to this awesome travel style! Electric assist bikes (e-bikes), fantastic bike paths, and a support van are all factors that make a bike tour a lot more manageable than you may have expected. Our tours bike anywhere from 8 to 35 miles (18-56 km) per day, with the higher end of the range being towards the beginning of the trip when your legs are fresh and the lower end of the range being on days when there is more sightseeing involved. If you are unsure of your biking abilities, consider an e-bike. E-bikes still require you to pedal, so they are not motorbikes, but you can adjust how much assist you would like (from no assist to turbo!). One customer described using an e-bike- “it’s like biking downhill the entire time!”. This is also great for couples where one person is a more avid biker than the other. All of our bike tours (and most others) have a support van that transports your luggage and is available to give you a ride if you decide you are done biking for the day (or if you want to take a day off all together). On our Germany bike tour, you can even take a river boat between destinations which is a great option for those with no interest in biking or for groups where some travelers want a less active trip but still want to be together for meals and other activities. The routes that we follow are primarily along designated bike paths where cars are nowhere to be found, allowing you to bike without worrying about traffic. These bike paths are mostly flat, allowing for a leisurely ride with plenty of opportunities to admire the beautiful scenery.
