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)
- Read more here: FAQ#Bikes
- A tent
- 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/relflective clothes handy to 'be noticed by motorized traffic)
- Swimming stuff
- Your mobile phone
- Organic (biodegradable/non-polluting) soap, shampoo and toothpaste
- Sun cream (high factor, it will be often +40 degrees Celsius), sunglasses, long sleeved shirts, a cap (if you're feeling optimistic)
- Waterproofs (if you're feeling less optimistic)
- Medication you (might) need.
