Best Places to Stay for Cycling Holidays in Europe
What To Bring On Your Cycling Trip Around Europe
Cycling holidays in Europe necessitate a backpack. And here's the secret: less is more. A small, lightweight backpack and essentials are all you need!
-
1. Core Gear (Bike, helmet, and glasses)
A bike is quite obvious, but a helmet is an invaluable item. Head protection cannot be overrated! Glasses shield you from the glaring sun and break the wind. They also keep off bugs and rain from hitting your eyes.
-
2. Bike Clothing (Shorts, jacket, tights, gloves, shoes)
Go for lightweight and versatile clothes. Consider waterproof and breathable materials like Gore-Tex to shield yourself from wind and rain. Don't forget a cycling jacket to cover you if the weather goes bad. You'll need stiff soles for your shoes to improve your pedalling performance and minimise chances of sore feet. But they must be flexible around the toes.
-
3. Comfort and Emergency (Water, snacks, sunscreen, first-aid kit, pump, spare tubes)
You need energy for such vigorous exercise, and nutritious snacks and hydration ranks amongst the most necessary. There are emergency kits you cannot overlook, like extra tubes and a bicycle pump.
