RE: Lessons learned on two wheels: Triumphs and trials of a car-free cycling fanatic
hi @mininthecity
beautiful images of life as a cyclist! We have been traveling for a while (we move by local means) but we would like to try a bicycle challenge before becoming too old! How much training do you think it takes to travel by bicycle? consider that we are completely inexperienced !!
Congratulations for your brave eco-sustainable choice and thank you for sharing with us
Hi @road2horizon! Thank you! It is difficult for me to advise about training. I suggest finding bikes that are a good fit and experimenting with how many miles you can ride in a day. You could start with where you are at and grow into it. If you have flexibility you could travel the number of miles per day that works for you and camp along the way or try to plan a route with shelter available frequently enough. There are more experienced touring cyclists on steemit that may be able to offer perspectives. Good luck and I look forward to reading about your adventures here if you share 😊

I understand, but for example in Cornwall we had bicycles available and the paths were very hilly ... I couldn't do it, I had to go on foot !! what a shame!!
