Maybe you've been there. You've set off on a cycling holiday and you've forgotten a few things that you knew you would need. We often get questions from our customers about what to bring on any cycling holiday. We'll go through this in the following post.
This one gets its own section before we get into everything else. Not only are cycle helmets just a good idea, they're also mandatory in most countries. You can bring your own helmet or you can buy, rent or borrow a helmet on your cycling holiday. The options vary from trip to trip, so check the trip description under the 'Bike hire' section.
There are some important considerations to make before any cycling holiday: What is the weather like at the destination, what temperatures can we expect, how many kilometres will we cycle per day. Once you've considered these questions, you can start packing. The weight of your suitcases doesn't matter as we'll be transporting them from hotel to hotel (and there may be restrictions if you're flying to your destination), start thinking about what sights you plan to see on your trip - if you'll be visiting a lot of churches, for example, it's a good idea to cover your knees and shoulders.
There's always plenty to see and do during a cycling holiday of a week or longer - so pack accordingly. Here are a few things that should always be included:
Bike bags are always included in the bike hire. In this you should pack the necessary items for the day, as well as ID cards, money, phone, etc. Tools, pump, lock and hoses are included in the bike hire and there is always someone to call if there are any problems with the bike.
That's a quick list of things that should always be included on any cycling holiday.
