10 tips for going on a bike trip
In our time in the fashion all sorts of
selections, tops, ratings, advice. Well, why not for cycling trips to write
something like that, which would motivate, make you act and hold your life
interesting. So, 10 tips for bicycle riding, which should be adhered to, so
that the story "how I spent the summer" brought pleasure. It is
necessary to bring a handful of adventures into your life, to plunge into the
world of freedom, to get acquainted with interesting people, to bathe in the
rays of ultraviolet and leave indelible impressions after the lapse.
Leave the comfort zone
We all surrounded ourselves with such
conditions, in which there would be as few surprises, risks, novelty. We are
used to practicing every day the same, without realizing anything new. We are
used to inventing excuses, looking for reasons for refusal, and not for action.
So it will not work, set foot on the threshold and you will not regret it.
Do not worry about the
route
In fact, not going to Africa
after all. Europe is full of tourists and
people, full of information signs, beaten paths and signs. Somewhere, yes, get
out, especially on a bicycle for which 10 km is not a hook. But about the incredible
nature and other attractions do not have to worry; it's all at every step.
I say so, because many burn out at the planning
stage, frightens the unknown, and true travelers, it really should beckon.
One way ticket
As a seasoning for this adventure will serve as
a one-way ticket. Not everyone has such an opportunity, but just imagine what a
feeling of freedom it gives. Absolutely not where to hurry, you do not know
what awaits you ahead, and where you will finish your route. Particularly
enthusiastic people can go home on a bicycle - good, the bike allows, because
if desired, the whole of Ukraine 1316 km ,
from the south to the server - 896
km . 100
km a day on a bicycle - no problem.
Communicate with local
A traveler on a bicycle always causes an
exorbitant interest in people. You may no longer have this opportunity to
communicate with the local population, to hear interesting stories about
sights, about the city, about culture and way of life.
Do not forget about the same travelers as you.
Why not share the story of your adventure. Look, you will lead a useful
acquaintance, and do not forget, the world is small - it's not uncommon to
cross with a familiar tourist somewhere in the Romania
Disconnect
communication facilities
Everyday life can try to suck us into its
abyss. Uninterrupted calls from work will not allow you to forget about all
problems and enjoy your vacation. Turn off the phone and call up relatives at a
specific time. At a minimum, this will help to keep the battery charge :) Yes,
and reading news, full of negativity, sensations and shocks is useless. Do not
forget to just inform the relatives about your trip and the approximate route,
so that there is no situation like in the movie "127 hours". Very
exciting, by the way, not so many good movies about tourist adventures.
A map instead of a gps
navigator
One way to diversify your bike is to use a map
instead of the usual navigators. The prospect of going a little wrong, than
listening before every turn "turn through 100 meters to the
right" is not so bad. In the worst case, you will go to a dead end or miss
something interesting, but it's much more likely to see an amazing panorama. So
time will be the opportunity and with the local chat.
Fear - aside
Fear is a natural and necessary instinct for
self-preservation. But if you think about what life is better - full of
adventures and memories, or bound, calculated to every detail? The most
important risk is not to risk, not to try to change your life for the better.
Very often, fear is a destructive feeling that it is worth fighting for.
When traveling by bike, you can meet many
reasons for fear - a dangerous and unknown road, the opportunity to break away
from people, spending the night in a tent. This is especially evident during
the journey alone. It is worth acknowledging the fact that most often these
fears are not justified, and therefore it is better not to give them a reason
to prevent us from living to the fullest. Take a knife into the tent, and sleep
peacefully.
Music on the road
You can talk a lot about the beauty of singing
birds, the noise of foliage and the deathly silence on top of the mountain.
Nobody cancels them, but favorite music will brighten up any journey,
especially solitary. Turn pedals, enjoy the views, breathe clean air and enjoy
the guitar solo - any concert can not be compared with this.
Do not think about
money
Bicycle tourism - does not require a lot of
money compared to what it provides as a substitute. Yes, I continue to assert
that the initial price of a quality bicycle is $ 400. Nevertheless, the main
thing is that the bike is serviceable and then you can safely ride on a cheaper
bicycle. Yes, high-quality and light equipment costs a lot of money. But people
traveled hundreds of years ago to travel around the world on a bicycle, so is
it worth worrying about the quality of the equipment now? Yes, it may seem that
so many things need to be bought. But also it not so, it is possible to manage
for the first time small, gradually buying up all necessary. The article on the
cost of my equipment will help to verify this.
Act
Do not put it off all the time. Do not fool
yourself with illusions that it will be easier and more opportunities later. If
something has caught fire, then embody these desires in life immediately.
It is such a basic message of these 10 tips for
traveling by bike. Let us be more open to the world, let us sometimes be
reckless, indiscreet. Let's go cycling together!
