Cycling Under The European Sky
The true beauty of numerous places in Europe can be experienced firsthand if the
curious mind is willing let go of the luxurious barriers of air conditioned vehicles or tourist buses. This holds especially true if the rural and natural charm of Europe is to be explored.
What better way than bicycling your way around!
The best part about this transport choice is that there are no restrictions about the distance, time, and number of stops to be made or hotel/resort reservations. One may chose to cycle around a small township for a day or make an entire France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Italy bike trip! Both tourists as well as locals also have the group biking opportunities that are regularly organized by local biking clubs sometimes to commemorate some news or occasion, or ride for a cause.
Ardent bikers may bring their own bikes or they can be purchased or rented locally too. There are many pick up here and drop there, points for bikes. If new to this experience, one can simply start with the
European weather forecast to check for precipitation and headwinds. This becomes essential particularly if one seeks bike in unknown or rough terrains as itd determine the type of bike, gear, supplies, clothing and the preferred route for timely showing up camp points or hostels.
Whats required?
A basic level of physical activity endurance is a must. Hence one must pick a distance they can realistically cover. Moreover for long distances, the bikes handles, seat choice, seat height, extensions for carrying water bottles and other items that cannot go on bike, suitable helmet, torch, bell, weight and so on. have to be considered and customized as per the rider. Cities like Cambridge which have an inspiring biking culture also prepare bikers with basics about the journey route, dos and donts and contingency plans in advance. The
Cambridge weather usually calls for raincoats, many of which today also double up as windcheaters. Not to forget sunscreens for sunny days.
Other than basic practical choices about the distance, schedule, company, food, water, camping gear, on a personal level, one needs to look at the weather and dress accordingly with or without socks, gloves, sleeves, jackets or tights. The fabric would vary too. A basic idea is to keep layers and protect the core of the body i.e. chin to crotch. The rest of the body covering will be highly dictated by the temperatures. Sometimes having additional clothing in the backpack helps.
Say youre biking from Cambridge to London and
London forecast conditions indicate a drop in the temperature with rains. Its best to then cover your limbs to preserve the body heat and pull on a raincoat in case of a non-stop route ahead. Cycling is a cheap way to experience destinations while ensuring plenty of exercise, fresh air and at times, even community building. An adventurous spirit with some willpower and youre good to go.
