Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once said, “When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.”
Sir Arthur hasa point, and regular bikers know this and the other simple pleasures of riding a bike and joining a bike tour.
Out with Technology, In with Nature
Riding a bike is one of the most pleasurable activities you will ever do in your life, from childhood to your grownup years. The fact that you will be far from many of life’s luxuries and get to enjoy the great outdoors makes the trip fulfilling. You’ll get to enjoy the little things and experience that your parents’ generation and the generation before them got to enjoy—living life outdoors. The photos of insects, landscapes, and wildlife parks you see on your phone or computer screen gets to be a reality when you go bicycle touring.
Free as a Bird
Another great thing about going on bike tours is the freedom you get to enjoy. You decide the speed and pace you want. If you’re in a group, you can all enjoy the actual ride more than completing your goal of getting to the finish line. You can drop by any historical site or a park to rest and enjoy the view. The important thing is that you hold your time and the places you want to visit. You don’t get that when you ride on a public transport.
Exercise and Socialize
Aside from being a good exercise, going on a group bike tour gives you an easy way to socialize with people. Most of the bikers who join this trip are warm and friendly, so it’s easy to make new friends. You’ll also find that there are a lot of curious locals who’d love you to hear your experiences biking in other locations. Touring on a bicycle is also environmentally-friendly and the best way to travel.
So, the next time you’re planning a trip for the weekend or for the whole family, hop on a bicycle and join a tour group. Remember, having fun is as easy as riding a bike.
