Revision as of 15:33, 7 May 2012

If you are coming to the Biketour, here are some things that you might find useful (and we think are essential):

  • ... a bike - read more here: FAQ#Bikes
  • A bike helmet (in Spain helmets outside of towns and cities, when it's not hot and you are not going up hill are mandatory! - see http://www.cyclehelmets.org/1068.html)
  • A bike lock (and key for it!)
  • Bikelights, back and front (we try not to cycle in the dark, but if we do - cars will NOT expect you)
  • A puncture repair kit, spare tubes and bike pump (just in case)
  • A container to keep maps dry
  • Water container, it's gonna be hot so this one is important! (min. 1 litre)
  • A tent (it's usually possible to share...let us know if you don't have one)
  • Sleeping bag & mat
  • Cycling clothes for all types of weather (but take as little clothes possible) - light colored, synthetic clothes preferred to resist sun and sweat, bright/strong/reflective clothes handy to 'be noticed' by motorized traffic)
  • Swimming stuff :-)
  • Your mobile phone and charger
  • Organic (biodegradable/non-polluting) soap, shampoo and toothpaste
  • Sun cream, sunglasses, long sleeved shirts
  • Waterproof jacket
  • Medication you (might) need
  • Plate, cup & cutlery
  • A flashlight/torch, ideally a headlight
  • Valid ID like a passport
  • You might need a Visa
  • Money - in 2012, Biketour costs around € 5 per day, and you might want to buy stuff yourself.
  • Vegan and/or vegetarian recepies for one (or two) pot meals on the campfire, some herbs & spices you like
