      I saw the text copy-pasted below on a Belgian website. I think it explains the language about electric bikes / e-bikes better than the usually more technically oriented descriptions. The article uses two terms: Classic Electric Bicycle and Fast...

      You could look up thee peregrino online app for the Frances. I found it quite useful with maps, geographical profiles and cyclist specific information

      My introductory posting. I rode the Portugese Central Route from Porto to Santiago in September 2022. My wife and daughter walked it. When they told me they wanted to walk the Camino for vacation I was a little dismayed—because I thought they...

      Aargh! I'm a walker and a cyclist. When I ride my bike, a traditional non-electric touring bike, I pedal it. However far I travel, I do not peddle small goods, drugs, guns etc. Native English-speakers should observe the difference, and cyclists...

      It would lead us too far here but I already told it many times on the forum and would like to repeat it. My late grandmother who went by bus ( she was in her eighties ) to the Marial Sanctuary of Banneux ( here in Belgium ) and walked more or...

      I feel obliged to say something about E-Bikes. I have walked the frances from StJpdP in 2018. For a different experience, I will be cycling it in July with an E-Bike. I have done a fair bit of training (and still do). Cycling 50-60 km every day...
