Everyone normally thinks about travel transportations as those that get you the farthest faster (planes, trains, cruise, car/bus...). However, slow travel can be even more gratifying! This post will give you reasons for your next travel to be by bicycle and you can also find some of the best routes around the world!
Bike travelers don't see this type of transportation as a sport or exercise. It's a true adventure! ✍︎ Tori
Reasons to travel by bicycle
Ecological way to travel: Bikes do not generate any pollution. It's just you, the bike, the trails and nature.
Flexibility: Want to spend more time at the top of a hill? Want to make a turn and explore somewhere that wasn't in your plan? You have full control of where and when you want to go. You don't have to worry about the time because you train is going to leave.
Cheaper: You travel with your transportation so there is no need to get a taxi to get around. Your expenses might be down to just food and maybe accommodation because you can even plan some capping stops.
Connect with nature: The sound of wind, birds and other animals will accompany you through your travel. The world is our home and your point of view about it will be different, connecting more with it. You get a perfect view and not just the limiting view from the window of a viacle.
Discover more about yourself: Even if you travel with a group, you have time for yourself while cycling. You get to know your strength and potential. You might even come back home like a brand new person and better!
Interact with locals: Traveling by bike will give you more time to talk to locals and get to know more about the cities you cycle through.
Best travel stories: Not many can tell amazing adventures like those who practice slow travel and specially by bike. You will have the best travel stories when you return home.
Get fit: You don't have to be a pro to travel by bicycle but you will return in better shape. Riding a bike everyday as your transportation during your travel will be the healthiest travel you've ever done!
Make new friends: You will meet others that travel by bike and you will find a strong connection with them as well. They will be a good social support, sharing tips and stories during your trip. You might even plan the next trip together!
Proud of yourself: You will look back at your experiences lived during your travel by bike and you will not believe you did all of that! Feeling proud of yourself will stay with you and you'll want to repeat!
