Heading away for the summer holidays? Wouldn’t it be good to spend an hour or two riding in the mornings while your family or friends are still getting up? Better still, bring them along for longer jaunts. There’s no better way to explore than by bicycle. You can go where you want at your own pace, and ice-creams and coffees on patios taste so much better. You end up seeing places you’d never otherwise see and meeting people you’d never otherwise meet. And when you’re lying on the beach later in the afternoon, it feels so much more deserved, as does that extra bottle of wine at night. Whether you’re off for daily morning adventures or a full-on expedition, you’ll be glad you made cycling a part of your vacation. It’s not hard to arrange. Here are a few tips to help you make sure everything’s in place.
