Don’t forget bicycles! Long distance bike touring is a really fascinating way to experience a place, if you have the time to do it. My rule of thumb is that one hour of driving takes about a day of bicycle touring - so you can get remarkably far in a week or two.
- desas 7y agoA guilty pleasure of mine is reading cycle touring travelogues. I'm really looking forward to trying it.
- adyer07 7y agoHa, that’s how I started! If you’re interested in dipping a toe in, I recommend doing a weekend trip - bike out, camp, and back. It’s a wonderful feeling to escape wherever you are under your own power.
- buboard 7y agoi love cycling but never did a tour like that. That is already a thing though but i doubt it will catch on because of environment concerns. It's not for everyone
- dredmorbius 7y agoRight. Whilst it's not difficult to cycle 100 or even 200 miles in a single day, it's far more pleasurable to keep tour cycling to 40-60 miles, particularly on an extended trip and whilst carrying luggage.
