Are you dreaming about a bicycle tour? Or maybe you\u2019ve already picked your destination, set the date, and the pre-journey anxiety is kicking in? Been there, done that. Let me share the 10 things I wish I had known before my first bicycle tour. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The first step will be the most difficult one.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people dream about a big adventure but never dare take the first step. Making the decision to hit the road is difficult. Luckily, once you\u2019re out there, things get easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before my first solo tour (and a second bike tour at all), I cried, regretted my life decisions (Why the hell did I quit my job? There was nothing wrong with it!<\/em>), and anticipated all the possible dark scenarios. But once I assembled my bike at the airport in Basel and started pedalling, the rumination stopped. I gained trust in myself and the road and started enjoying the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. You will always feel somewhat underprepared.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am not fit enough to cycle that many kilometres every day. I didn\u2019t research enough about the country I am going to. I don\u2019t know if the route I\u2019ve planned is ok. I haven\u2019t planned a route at all. I\u2019ve never wild-camped. I don\u2019t know how to fix my bike if something breaks. Maybe it\u2019s better to reschedule the trip for later, so I have more time to prepare?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those thoughts will keep popping into your head, and you will always feel underprepared. This is normal and still happens to me, even after four years since my first bicycle tour (thank you, imposter syndrome!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no way you can prepare for every eventuality. Even if you could, your brain would still have doubts and question marks. Overthinking has stopped many from pursuing their dreams. So just set a date and go for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. You don\u2019t need to prove anything to anyone.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need to do a big-ass round-the-world tour with only wild camping and the most challenging routes. Don\u2019t compare yourself with people on Instagram and the Internet. Do it your way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, I still struggle with that. I always feel I should ride farther, going to more crazy places and wild-camp more often. But I know my limits and try to focus on what brings me joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"my<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Type 2 fun is fun, but only if you really want it. If you feel biking from Europe to India is way out of your limits, just go for a two-weeks tour in Italian Alps. Or around the Netherlands if you don\u2019t want to conquer massive climbs. If wild camping makes you anxious and jittery, go for official campsites, hostels, WarmShowers<\/a> or CouchSurfing. It\u2019s not a competition. You don\u2019t need to prove anything to anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t challenge yourself. It just means you should know when the challenges start causing you distress or when they stop you from going on a trip at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. You don\u2019t need to know how to fix a bike before going on a tour.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people think it\u2019s crucial to know bike mechanics before going on a bicycle trip. While some knowledge definitely doesn\u2019t hurt, you can survive without it. Many experienced cycle travellers (like Ewcyna, <\/a>who travelled solo in Oman, Iran, Myanmar, Japan, Georgia and many other countries) don\u2019t know anything beyond the absolute basics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legendary Dervla Murphy, <\/a>who biked from Irland to India, used to hitchhike every time something was wrong with her bike. So don\u2019t worry too much about bike repairs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. You don\u2019t need a touring bike to go bicycle touring.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People travel on all kinds of bikes: folding bikes<\/a>, old mountain bikes<\/a>, gravel bikes\u2026 If you already have a bicycle in your garage, you can most likely convert it into a touring bike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. You don\u2019t need to know where you\u2019re going and which route you\u2019re taking.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On my first solo tour, I travelled without a plan<\/a>. The only thing I knew was that I start in Switzerland, and I head somewhere east. I didn\u2019t know how long it would take and how far I would get. I was deciding day after day, and some of the best adventures of my life happened. I cycled in the Dolomity<\/a>, volunteered in a mountain hut in Bo\u015bni<\/a>, and met amazing people in places that weren\u2019t even on my bucket list. The journey matters, not the destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cycling<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

7. Expect the unexpected.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There will be surprises waiting for you around every corner. I have dealt with many of them, many quite unpleasant. Trails that look promising on the map but turn out rocky and unlikeable. Closed shops when I was hoping to buy something for dinner. My gear breaking in the least convenient moment (broken tent<\/a>, broken pannier<\/a>, broken wheel – I\u2019ve had it all). Thunderstorms in a remote valley with no place to hide. A knee injury in the middle of nowhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cycling
Cycling in Bosnia was painful because of a knee injury. But I don’t regret a second of this trip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shit happens, and challenges belong to bike touring. You can\u2019t avoid them or prepare for them. But you can anticipate them, so things don\u2019t feel so overwhelming when they happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Listen to your gut.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Almost all unpleasant situations on my trips happened after I had ignored my gut feeling. This place seems too exposed and too close to the village <\/em>– I thought in Kyrgyzstan, and an hour later, a young exhibitionist on a horse arrived and freaked us out<\/a>. This guy seems a bit weird <\/em> – I hesitated before accepting a Couchsurfing invitation<\/a> by a guy who later didn\u2019t respect my personal space and was way too pushy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your intuition tells you to back off – back off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cycling<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

9. Memories are elusive – make notes and take pictures.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I feel too lazy to stop and get off my bike to take a picture, but later I regret that I didn\u2019t capture some of the extraordinary places I cycled through. After a long day in the saddle, scribbling in my notebook feels overwhelming too. But that moment when you read your old diary or look at your travel photos and remember some moments you completely forgot about is so precious that I try to force myself to document my trips regularly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t only take pictures of the landscape and people around – make sure to take some pictures of yourself too – your kids or grandkids will be more interested in how you looked earlier than in some random mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

10. Feeling grumpy, miserable and like you wanna quit? Eat something!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t count how often I felt like something was off,<\/em> and I was unhappy, weak and done with all the bike touring before I realised that I just forgot to eat for a couple of hours. After I brought my sugar levels back to normal, life was great again, and I was ready to face the challenges on the road. So every time you feel crap ask yourself: when was the last time I ate something? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
