Bicycle Tours

Bicycle tours are a great way to bond with family and friends, but they are also a great way to vacation solo.  And there are cycling tours available for just about every interest and budget.  Whether you are interested in a day or weekend trip, or a week-long or month-long bicycle adventure tour with all the trimmings, there are bicycle touring choices that are sure to appeal to you!

One benefit of touring by bicycle is that you can simply hop on your bicycle and go for a ride.  This can work for brief day trips.  However, if you are planning a long bicycle tour, it is important to select your bicycle, touring route, cycling gear, eating & sleeping arrangements, and daily distances carefully, based on your preferences and abilities.  Bicycle touring is both a physical adventure and a retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.  However, based on your preferences, you can choose a more extreme tour that is physically demanding and offers little in the way of luxuries, a tour that offers gourmet meals and lodging in upscale Bed and Breakfasts, or something in between.

On this site, BicycleTours.us, you will find a directory of several bicycle tour operators who offer bicycle tours and vacations for cyclists with varying interests and abilities.  Many of these tours feature popular destinations in the United States, Canada, and Europe.  You will also find a selection of bicycle touring resources to help you plan your cycling vacation.
