Bicycle Tourism: Exciting Adventure on Two Wheels

Posted by Pradnya on April 18th, 2017

Bicycle tourism typically means independent cycle trips which are done for adventure and pleasure. Bicycle tourism entirely finishes the need of sports or exercise as cycling itself is a great source of exercise. Bicycle tourism can be either single or multi-day trips. In some cases bicycle tourism can extend to even months depending on the distance covered. Bicycle tours are generally planned either by participants themselves or organised by cycling clubs. Bicycle tourism is a delightful adventure irrespective of hitches like bad, dusty roads and lack of signposts throughout the journey. Till a few years back, the bicycle was assumed as a means of transportation for the poor, while the rich or aristocrats abandoned it for a car. However, since last few years, irrespective of financial status, many people are adopting cycling not only for transportation purposes but also for extended adventure tours.

Bicycle Tourism: Benefits

Bicycle tourism has an honoured place in the tourism economy and culture. Bicycle tourism helps in boosting the local economy. During bicycle touring the travellers put their money directly into small, local businesses such as roadside eateries and air filling stations. Bicycle tourism gives them access to small remote villages where they can stay with the villagers and can experience local flavours instead of spending hefty sums of money in large hotels. The better infrastructure makes cycling attractive and thus there is greater inclination for bicycle tourism. One of the most important benefits of bicycle tourism is that it helps burn extra calories during the tour as well as during the practice session. Long trips need a daily practice of cycling and during this practice period tourists do not have to do any extra physical exercise as cycling itself is the best cardiovascular exercise. Also, bicycle tourism give an opportunity to travel at your own pace. Tourists can climb mountains, can experience scenic countryside roads, stop at any local shop or camp wherever they want. Bicycle tourism is a unique experience by itself for adventure seeking travellers.

Bicycle tourism: Drivers and Restraints

One of the important factors that is driving the growth of bicycle tourism is increasing awareness about rising pollution across the globe. Increasing pollution levels is a matter of serious concern. Majority of air and noise pollution occur due to vehicles. More and more people are now voluntarily coming forward and using bicycles as their daily means of transportation and tourism through cycling is also a part of it. One of the latest trends in bicycle tourism is the rise in the system of bike share. This system enables users to pick up a bicycle from a docking station for a fee. Tourists find this system very convenient and inexpensive. Many new types of bicycles such as road bicycle, mountain bicycle, cruiser bicycle etc. are entering the market. Electric bicycles are increasingly being preferred by tourists for long tours. The usage of boat bicycles is also increasing, which is boosting the global bicycle tourism industry. Rising number of bicycle tourism events are also helping boost the growth in bicycle tourism. Cape Town Cycling Tour, Tour of Flanders Sportive, The Dragon Ride, Paris-Roubaix Challenge are some of the cycling events worldwide that have been very successful. Many more such events are conducted across the globe and this is creating robust development in the bicycling tourism sector. The major restraint in the bicycle tourism industry is that it is not easy. Bicycle tourism is not for the faint hearted.

Bicycle Tourism: Outlook

Increasing awareness among people about rising levels of pollution will increase the growth of the bicycle tourism sector. Rising traffic problems due to private vehicles such as cars and scooters will also encourage people to use bicycles for tourism.
