This is the time to learn and practice these Bicycling skills

Posted by Richard Blake on December 3rd, 2015

Many a times, you must have given a thought or may be trying to get in the places that have really caught your imagination of independent travelers on Bicycles. All the breath-taking scenery, mouth-watering food, people and cheap accommodation all matters during City Bicycle Tours as far as we all are concerned. Whether it is bumpy roads or decent roads, getting in and out has to be considered, which may rule out some of the more remote start points. Honestly, you would not worry about physicality that much for a tour. One of the biggest things about long distance cycling is the mental peace.  A long distance bicycle ride can be broken down into 4 stages. Winelands Bicycle Tours

  1. The first part blows the inner soul with excitement, exhilarating and feeling like you are on top of the world.
  2. Commute to work or school by bicycle and by not taking any days off for rain, snow, sleet or hail. This is really more important than your fitness, because bicycle handling skills is critical, especially when carrying a load.
  3. You will notice the physical and mental changes begin to happen.  You will go from excited to determined and noticing issues with your mental and physical self.
  4. And the worst one would be like you are completely in tune with the rock in your shoes may be you are bored, or you have a cramp in your leg, you are really tired and you want to be off your bicycle. The last part is the killer one and that is where a fair amount of mental work really enters.  May be you are 100% trained up, have the best endurance tested bicycle and the best gear and if your brain tells you that “you are done, means you are done!!

Take an assumption that you can complete say a 100 or 200km ride. If you have all day to ride, you will get through it eventually, even if it takes your all day. That might not shake you for 100 days, but you can probably swing for hours or days. If you are not in good shape or don't ride bicycle often, then Bicycle Hire would change your mental aspect and will act like a antidote in your body. If you are not aware about the basics of geared bicycle mechanic skills, especially if you are on through rural places, this is the time to learn and practice these Bicycling skills. In order to get a flat tire or having your chain break-down are not the difficult things to fix on a bicycle. But the problem arises where you do not know how to fix them and then you will be stuck. It might also be a wise to know bit about making basic rear adjustments. And Folks! It is really not a fun to climb up the mountain if your bicycle is skipping gears.

For the beginners Guided Cycle Tourswould fit best as you won’t be totally on your own. You will have flexibility to ride at your own pace and take breaks at your leisure; the tour operator guides and organizes all the logistics for you from reservations and the luggage transportation from hotel to hotel, all are included.
