Rental Bike

During the trip you will be provided with either a 21 speed bike with derailleur gears and free wheel, or a 7 speed bike with gear hub, back pedaling brake and two cable brakes. Please let us know your preference at the time of booking. You will also receive a pannier to carry your gear for the day, along with a handlebar bag, repair kit and lock. Helmets are not supplied locally but are mandatory on all bike tours, so you will need to bring your own well-fitted helmet.

Electric Bike

With our Electric bikes, assistance is only obtained while pedalling. These bikes are equipped with 8-gears with gear hub and back pedalling break to ensure you have a safe E-bike that is easy to handle. Our batteries hold enough power for you to cycle between 120 and 180 kilometres per charge.

While all of our bikes are equipped with comfortable gel saddles, you can of course bring your own saddle incl. adapter if you desire. If you bring your own saddle, we recommend you also bring an adaptor, since the diameter (27.2-31.4 mm) of the seat pole can vary depending on the model of the bike.

7 nights 3 or 4 star accommodation on a twin share basis with ensuite facilities

In Germany & Austria note that a twin room is not always associated with having two beds! Quite often a twin bed has one or two mattresses on the same bed frame but with two separate duvets. Sometimes there might be two beds positioned together, but they cannot be separated because of constraints of the room. Please accept our apologies for this, but having inspected many hotel rooms, there are not many twin rooms which have two separated beds, except in more modern or international style hotels.
