    Bike packing service in SdC

    Would anyone know of a bike shop in SdC who offers a bike packing service to assist in me flying back home with my bike? I've searched in the forum but it appears some of the suggestions point to shops that unfortunately no longer exist. Any suggestions would be most grateful.

    Best stages to ride

    My son and I will be doing the Central route starting from Porto in June. In order to give ourselves a little breathing room, I'd like to ride bikes for two (perhaps three days). We land in Porto on June 8th and leave Porto on June 22, which gives us 12 days to walk (very doable - but doesn't...

    E-bike charging on the camino - Contributing to cost

    I've seen a few threads where the idea of charging the e-bike battery while enjoying lunch at a restaurant, a coffee shop or Taberna, and concurrently how much to offer for a full charge at an Albergue, is floated. I use an e-Bike regularly for day trips at home and need to avail of this help...

    Will we be met with scorn or equanimity?

    Sorry to sound so dramatic but I’m not sure how I’ll be received on this forum, and in June, the Camino Frances. My husband and I plan to ride Ebikes from Burgos to Santiago. Originally we began from Roncesvalles in 2019. After 5 days I have to admit I gave up. I tried to blame it on my...

    Camino de Madrid by bicycle

    I am considering doing the Camino de Madrid by bicycle. I have walked and cycled the CF. I see through these threads and other webpages that people do cycle the CdeM in about 5 days. My specific question is about the type of bike that would be best. For the CF we rented mtn bikes that were...

    Bicigrino

    Hi everyone, Having broken my leg badly last year, I am hoping to cycle from Saint Jean to Santiago next May/June as I cannot walk. I’m wondering about whether it would be best to hire bikes in St Jean? If we were to transport them by plane we should have to cope with getting bicycle boxes from...

    Walk,Hike, and Bike the Camino

    Hi everyone, We are planning on walking the Camino Frances. I thought it would be fun to occasionally ride bikes between the villages. Is it possible to rent bikes for a day and then drop off at the next village like one way car rentals? Has anyone done this or know if it is available? Thank...

    e bikes ?

    Greetings from Ponferrada Sophie and I are walking the Frances at the moment after a 4 year break from walking. The descent from Cruz de Ferro we found quite challenging but it’s great to just be here. I have noticed that a lot of cycling peligrinos are using ‘e bikes’ this year, charging up...

    If you could only bike 1 day of the Camino Portugues, which day would you choose and why?

    I'm planning on walking the Camino Portuguese coastal route, and I want to take a day or two of biking instead of walking, but I'm having trouble choosing which day to bike. Any suggestions?

    New entrance into Santiago from Monte de Gozo for cyclists?

    The previous route was down steps, so was not suitable for bicycles. Cyclists had to follow the road, crossing it twice in order to reach the bridge over the motorway at the bottom of the hill. The new route looks cycle friendly and I assume that like all of the Camino Francés it will be open...
