In Copenhagen, the city hosting the Climate Summit, there are more bikes than inhabitants. Fifty percent of the population in the centre of the capital of Denmark uses this form of transport to get to work. Just before a new Xacobeo or St. James Holy Year is about to begin, a good option for travelling along the St. James’ Way could be on a bike. Bicycles are as much a part of life in China and Holland as rice and tulips. More and more travellers are choosing to tour the world pedalling along on two wheels. Bikes are also starting to fill up the popular places we visit. Towns and cities are becoming more bike-friendly. When you are planning your next trip, why not consider travelling by bike? This might mean having to change your normal way of doing things, to take on new experiences and discover places in a completely different way. It also means having to consider a few logistical aspects, but nothing so complicated that it should make you want to change your mind. For example, we recommend that before you embark on your adventure; ensure you know how your bike needs to be checked on to a plane, in case you will be flying. Conditions may vary, especially depending on the airline, as well as the airport. Don’t forget to take a wrench to remove the pedals and the handlebars (it is probable that you will have to do so at some stage during the trip). Also ensure that you can take the bike on board a train, as space may be limited, depending on the train’s itinerary or the time of day. And the most important thing, of course, is to make sure you have an enjoyable trip.
