Bike Tours
Bike tours are an amazing way to experience the world, as they offer so much variety and the ability to travel at your own pace. From self-guided adventures in the remote backcountry to guided excursions amid the hustle and bustle of the city, there are plenty of bike tours that cater to all ages and skill levels, allowing you to plan the trip of your dreams.
Whether you are looking for an adrenaline rush while ripping downhill through the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains or simply want to relax and cycle from vineyard to vineyard in the Tuscan countryside, you can rest assured that there are a number of spectacular bike tours waiting to be experienced.
Planning such a tour can be challenging, especially considering the logistics of hauling a bike and luggage around, so why not leave the hassle of planning to the professionals? Consider booking one of the many 10Adventures bike tours to safely leave your worries behind and focus on the upcoming journey ahead.
When is the Best Time of year for a Bike Tour?
The question of when is the best time of year for a bike tour is a difficult one, as the answer depends on a variety of factors ranging from geographic location to tourist traffic. Generally speaking the best time for a bike tour is during the late-spring to autumn window when trails, roads, and pathways are dry and in their best condition.
Those looking to escape the crowds of other bikers and hikers should plan their trip for the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn, as the cooler weather will likely see a decrease in traffic. Conversely, setting out on a bike tour in the peak season of summer will yield the best weather and trail conditions, at the expense of more people being out and about of course. No matter which time of year you are looking to cycle around the world, bike tours are an incredible adventure that will be sure to bring plenty of memories.
Different Types of Bike Tours
While road biking and mountain biking receive most of the attention, there are actually different types of bike tours that are available for a wider range of audiences. Read on to discover if there is a different type of bike tour that is suitable for your next big trip:
E-Bike Tours
E-bike tours are an incredible way to experience the world, as they allow travellers of all types to get outside and explore by bike. When travelling by e-bike, you will generally have the option to either pedal or utilize a battery-powered motor for assistance, providing a hybrid experience that is much more pleasant. If you are looking to complete a bike tour but are concerned with the difficulty, consider an e-bike tour as an alternative way to reduce the physically demanding nature of the trip!

Standard Bike Tours
Offering a more traditional way to get out and explore the world by bike, standard bike tours are a great no fuss option for travellers who want a bit more mobility than walking on foot.
