What to bring

If you are coming to the Biketour, what you might find useful (and we think it's essential):

• ... a bike
• A bike helmet (not essential, but on some of the roads pretty usefull for your safety)
• A bike lock (with the key or combination, of course)
• A puncture repair kit, spare tubes and bike pump (just in case)
• A container to keep maps dry
• Water container (min. 1 liter)
• bikelights, back and front (we try not to cycle in the dark, but if we do - car's will NOT expect you)
