Bicycling is more popular for races or having a light adventure on roads or nature trails. However, have you ever thought to explore the amazing wonders of the world on your bicycle? I think it’s quite exciting to travel the world with your two-wheel buddy and many people have already done this as well, so, no worries as you are not doing something cringey. Though, touring on a bicycle sounds quite thrilling, still a bicycle can’t match the speed of high-end bikes, cars, or trains, but I guess this is what makes it more exhilarating. Nevertheless, it would be helpful to go through the necessary tips that can help you make your two-wheel riding adventurous and fun, so, let’s see what are these tips.

1. Practice to the fullest

Before entering the world of bicycle traveling, the most prominent part is practicing cycling to explore cities and places is far different than regular cycling on streets.

2. Get a decent bike with longer wheelbase and gears

Cycles that come with longer wheelbase and gears provide you with enough wheel strength to ride on the roads or trails and gears will make your ride even smoother. An excellent touring bicycle is a must-have before embarking on your journey to enjoy it.

3. Pack the essential things with you and don’t forget cash

While traveling weather on two wheels or four, some essentials must be packed with you. However, a bicycle is not a car or motorbike that can keep too much luggage. So, you can carry only small essentials that won’t become a burden to you but are extremely helpful during the urgency such as having cash allows you to get help from locals or others when your digital cash is stuck due to network issues. Other mini essentials include a power bank to charge your phone, toilet paper, and a reusable water bottle.

It’s better to get some cycle-traveling experience at nearby and familiar places for beginners. Once you are confident and know the challenges that you may face while traveling, I think you’ll be ready to travel around the world with your only company – your bicycle.

5. Focus on slow traveling rather than making yourself sweat

Slow traveling is the best way if you are looking to enjoy a peaceful and beautiful journey. Sweating yourself out and being exhausted in the middle of the journey can make you feel frustrated and will ruin your journey as well. It will be better to travel slowly and take a rest in different places to embrace the beauty of traveling on two wheels.

6. Choose places with moderate and breezy climate

Traveling to hot locations can make you tired and you may start to feel bored due to extreme heat. Also, cycling requires energy, which can easily be drained due to heat. Here, I would suggest choosing places with moderate climates or coastal locations where you can enjoy the breezy weather during the entire day.
