Why Bike Tour?

   Bike Touring  means traveling pollution-free under your own steam with all the essentials of life. Of course there will be days when the weather is less than perfect or times when bike repairs slow you down, but the experiences you have along the way will make it all worthwhile. If this sounds enticing but you're not an Olympic champion, don't worry. We specialize in teen bike tours that leave flexibility in your schedule to accommodate all levels of bicycle riders so you can ride more or less distance each day. But it will make a more enjoyable ride for you if you can do 20 to 30 km in a day with gear. We will not be doing that long a ride until the last weeks of the trip but your day does include walking, museums and castles.

Please try out your bike and gear before you start.

The wind in your face, the sun on your back (don't forget sunscreen), your sense of accomplishment at the end of a long day. Each student in a situation like this adds his/her own personality and strengths to the group, helping each other through the trials of school work and cycling. The group becomes close, producing friendships that can last a lifetime. When cycling, you get to know the people, history and lay of the land that you can never get any other way. 

While your bike tour in itself is awesome you will be passing through some of the most interesting history in the world. The physical exercise tuning up your body and invigorating your mind will set you up for long term fitness that will continue through the rest of your life.

Your teen bike tour and summer school is the educational adventure of a lifetime.
