How To Organise A Biking Holiday
| Sport : Other Sports And Tips Attach saddle bags securely and make sure each one is lined with a black sack to protect the items in the rain. Pack each one evenly so that the bike is not unbalanced on one side. You will need to remember clothes appropriate to the climate in which you'll be travelling, cooking materials, camping equipment and any maintenance tools for your bike should you have mechanical problems. The tent and sleeping bag can then be attached to the back of the bike using special straps which you can buy from any hardware store. Remember to bring along extra plastic bags for putting away clothes or shoes that get dirty as you cycle. If possible, invest in a bag which you can attach to the handlebars of the bike, and in this you can put items which you will need to use regularly. A map of the area is vital and make sure you study it well before setting off and have your route planned. You will also need water and some snacks which can be put in this bag, along with money. But take care not to overfill this bag - if you use one it should contain the essentials and no more. When you have secured everything to the bike, check to see that nothing falls off when you move it or shake it. However, you should aim to pack as lightly as possible, and if you are travelling with someone then make sure you both share the load and share as many items as possible to avoid having to bring the same thing each. If your bike is too heavy, however, it will be very difficult to cycle so make sure you give it a test run first.
