[QUOTE="t2andreo, post: 627793, member: 25553"] Anyone inclined to use ANY sort of bicycle should know that at least the Camino Frances has a system of adjacent roads that essentially parallel the route. It is actually not necessary to use bicycles on the same Camino trails as pedestrians and horses use. These road-routes are frequently less steep as modern roads must be engineered to specifications that limit grades and pitches. This is also why some road based routes are actually a few km longer than the foot trails. One prime example of this is the famous "790 km to Santiago de Compostela" road sign just outside Roncesvalles. EVERYONE KNOWS this is farther than the actual walking distance. That is because roads pass around many hills. However, as a walking pilgrim you KNOW that the Camino trail usually takes you more or less straight up and over the hills, usually passing the local church. It is my fervent wish that ALL cyclists will eventually stay on the right side of the roads, instead of sharing the same trail with walking pilgrims...but I digress... If you choose to use an electric assist bicycle on the Camino, the extra weight and slight additional distance will not be a problem if you remain on the secondary or tertiary roads. There are even 'road only' bicycle Camino guides for this purpose. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
