Caminos for cycling that are not very hilly.
Hola Robert, some great advice already and PeregrinoPaul´s pov on a slower leisurely ride makes sense. I can´t help with which Camino. I cycled the VDLP to Gijon two years ago and am planning to try it again next month. I remember it being quite hilly!! and lots of pushing but great riding and...- Jesnat

Packing List for Bicycle
The post from Grousedoctor above is pretty similar to my own experience of the VDLP and The Francis (part). I use two 20 liter waterproof panniers and fluorescent pannier cover and that´s plenty of room for spare clothes, sleeping bag, basic tools and personal stuff. As an experienced walker, my...- Jesnat

Bringing your own bike
The post above from OnHellas is pretty similar to my own experience. I´ve taken my bike from Spain to France and Belgium by plane using a strong cardboard bike box which I got from my kindly local bike store. Airlines charge for oversize luggage and this should be on the website. I packed my...- Jesnat

First (ish) time biking, 4th Camino
There is already lots of good advice here. I love the idea of biking whilst your friend is walking and great tip from Perigrinopaul above that you can use the time searching out the best places to eat whilst they catch up. Last October I biked the VDLP, I used two 20 litre rear panniers and a...- Jesnat

Leon to Santiago
I don’t know if this will help as I don’t know what your plastic bike box is. But last month I posted my bike in a strong cardboard bike box from my local Correos Office (Post Office) to the main Correos office in Seville. I caught the train to Seville (I live in Spain) and picked up my bike...- Jesnat

Cycling along VDLP and beyond
You too. I downloaded the book to my ipad. Planning my route on my phone screen is just too hard and as weight is less of a problem on the bike the ipad should be very handy.- Jesnat

Cycling along VDLP and beyond
I'm a first time bicigrino too, spending a week or so on the VDLP starting later this month. You probably have found it already but here's a link to a couple of great sites: https://www.cyclingspain.com/via-de-la-plata-cycling/, https://www.larutaenbici.com/en There is also a great guidebook...- Jesnat

Own bike or renting ?
I live in southern Spain near Murcia. I’ve just finished a week’s cycling around Flanders in northern Belgium. I took my own bike return on Tuifly from Murcia to Ostend. The bike and packed panniers travelled as oversized luggage and had to be packed correctly. I used a strong cardboard bike box...- Jesnat
