Cycle Touring Tips, Gear Lists & Honest Route Guides

There’s a nice simplicity to travelling by bike. You start at A and slowly pedal to B, powered by nothing but your own two legs. And maybe a few too many biscuits.

Here, you can find all my bicycle touring blog posts, including route notes and itineraries, gear lists, touring bike options, and more. Oh, and the lycra is optional. I promise.

Why I Love Bike Touring

There’s something about cycle touring that feels wonderfully simple. Mornings start with coffee outside a tent, days roll by to the rhythm of turning pedals, and my thoughts wander freely. I grind up hills, sing badly because no-one can hear me, and soak up every change in weather. By nightfall, I’m happily wiped out in my sleeping bag. Insomnia, who?
