]]> If you love to get your bike on, then when planning your next trip you might be taking into consideration whether your destination has a lot of bike accessibility. Luckily, there’s plenty of places where bikes are almost as commonplace as cars, and plenty of safety measures to boot. Here are three of the best cities for biking.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen has long been one of the most bikeable cities in the world. With a strong bike culture and infrastructure, it’s a great place to visit if you prefer to avoid cars and buses altogether. There are wide bike lanes, bike bridges, and spots for bikes on all public transit. The only thing to be wary of is that bike lanes get really crowded at rush hour, so try to avoid traveling at those times if you can.

Bogota, Colombia

While still plagued by thriving car culture and crowded streets, Bogota has set an example for South American bike reform. It’s made an effort to create more biking infrastructure, promote bike safety, and even close certain streets to cars once a week.

Tokyo, Japan

The people of Tokyo have a long history of biking everywhere, even if the infrastructure isn’t specifically built for it. Despite its continued lack of government resources, biking culture is baked into Tokyo’s transportation norms and is a great place to visit for bikers.

]]> If you’ve ever spent time in Colorado, then you know that opportunities for strenuous hiking, biking, skiing, and more abound. But even if you are a lover of athletics, sometimes it’s best to take things slow. A leisurely walk or bike ride can help you slow down, enjoy the beautiful Colorado sites, and even still give you some exercise. For this, the Rio Grande Trail in the Roaring Fork Valley is perfect.

The Rio Grande trail is built on the site of the former Aspen branch of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. Once the trains stopped running on this track around 40 years ago, the land was converted to a long bike trail between Aspen and Glenwood springs.

Because it is built on former railroad tracks, the trail isn’t hilly despite the mountainous region. Leaving from Aspen, it is a gentle downslope for most of the way, making for a fairly comfortable and easy ride. Of course, the region is beautiful, with the Roaring Fork River on one side and nature on the other.

The trail is about 42 miles, with several towns along the way at which you can stop. You can return to Aspen on a bus from one of these towns so that you never have to worry about biking uphill or in the dark. If you are planning a day trip, the ride from Aspen to the small town of Basalt is about 20 miles and the perfect length for leaving in the morning and returning on the bus. Just be sure to leave early enough that you’ll get to Basalt in time because buses don’t run late.

]]> Traveling may be on hold right now, but who says you can’t get on your bike and explore the area around you? Bikepacking is the latest trend and the best replacement for backpacking if you want to be faster and see more things at once.

The word bikepacking combines bike and backpacking, and it’s pretty clear what it means. You put everything you need for a day or a weekend in a backpack, hop on your bike, and get going. Pack lightly but don’t forget any necessities and enough food and you’re in for the time of your life.

The only way to make bikepacking more fun than it already is is to do it with a friend. You can pack a tent and turn it into a great weekend in nature. Bikes will allow you to move fast in case the weather gets bad or you get bored by the place you choose.

This is the perfect way to get to know the forests, lakes, and other nature near the place where you live. Would you give bikepacking a try?

]]> The Camino de Santiago’s “French Way” is one of the most popular routes for tourists throughout the world. This ancient pilgrimage path, which cuts through northern Spain after originating in the French Pyrenees mountains, is full of natural beauty, charming small towns, and stunning cathedrals. The Camino can be done in different ways, and here are some that you might enjoy trying.

On Foot

The traditional way to do the Camino is on foot, with the grueling walk between France and Santiago de Compostela often taking up to a month. However, it is a hugely rewarding experience as you will walk with fellow pilgrims and see the landscape at a slow pace up close.

By Bike

Doing the Camino de Santiago is becoming more and more popular by bike, as the culture of cyclists who check out this route continues to grow. You’ll find that all of the paths and roads on the Camino are bikeable, making it a great option if you have the stamina to do this version.

By Car

Are you looking to do a fast version of the Camino? If so, you can definitely do it by car even though it might not be the most traditional way. Go slowly, though, to be sure to soak in the essence of the Camino’s towns and scenery.

The cycle trail was built in the beautiful De Wijers reserve where the visitors can completely relax and become one with nature.

The pond’s unique trail, built for cyclists, was built in 2016. It is 5 feet deep and over 650 feet long and it in no way disrupts the natural landscape. Being 10 feet wide makes it big enough for all the people who want to bike or walk over it.

This cool trail put Belgium on the map of desirable destinations for cyclists and it’s a unique thing in Europe.
