Why did you choose to travel by bicycle?
Travelling by bicycle allows the rider to see the world pass at a manageable pace. I can stop wherever I like, whenever I like and experience the world closer than from behind reinforced perspex. Linked to that is the fact that bicycle-travel enables the rider to visit small towns and villages completely off the beaten track. I have a preference for quieter, undiscovered places, no matter how historic or beautiful the busier alternative might be. A bicycle allows me to find these places.
There are many other reasons. Check out my ‘8 reasons to travel by bike‘ post.
