Imagine exploring the world at a pace that keeps you completely aware of all your surroundings. Now imagine getting from one place to another, completely by the power of your own two feet. Well, yes, walking can do that too, but what kind of fun would that be. I’m talking about bike tours.
Catching speed down a steep Bolivian mountain, or discovering a city like Bogota in Colombia. Travelling through the most interesting places of the world, seeing all the sights, and staying fit along the way. Bicycle touring is an epic adventure that everyone should try. Riding along the beautiful scenic routes of different locations around the world. Everywhere from Ecuador, to Europe, to India, people ride bikes to get around. It’s an age old tradition that we can all agree, is a lot of fun. And what better way to enjoy a vacation (and keep that extra vacation weight away) then spending it bike touring.
Bike touring can be anything you want it to be. Here are some of the best bike tours around the world sponsored by Bamba Experience. But, you can always plan your own bike tour too. Know what to pack, and hit the road. You and your bike can take on the world together.
