    Advice: Biking vs. Walking?

    Thank you so much for your input! I agree about taking in the scenery, stopping and smelling the roses, and getting to know people! I will do this as much as I can! I guess I'm in a bit of a tricky scenario in that I'm leaving a job and family at home who don't do super well if I'm gone for...

    Advice: Biking vs. Walking?

    thanks so much for this info. i've heard that 29" is the way to go. i've even considered getting that when it's time to replace my 20+yr old mtb at home. more clearance, etc. i found a couple companies who almost exclusively rent these. i think bicigrinos.com was one of them... but i need to...

    Advice: Biking vs. Walking?

    thanks so much for your input! it sounds like you did something similar, just for a shorter distance. i'm glad to hear that you biked solo, stayed in hostels, felt safe and had a great time! that's the sort of trip i'm looking for. i hear what you're saying about the pace. i feel like...

    Advice: Biking vs. Walking?

    hey samantha, did you bike all 3 (norte, portugal, and CF)? if so, i would love to hear more specifics. i'm going next september, female traveling solo on a bike and trying to decide which route (considering safety and not getting lost as priorities). coastal routes sound awesome but i was a...

    Advice: Biking vs. Walking?

    thanks so much for this info! i'm impressed that you covered so much distance in 8 days! i have looked into bicigrinos.com a bit and with your advice, i'll look into them a little more! a specialized rockhopper is similar to what i ride trails on here at home. i'm thinking that i may take...

    Advice: Biking vs. Walking?

    hey there, i'm looking around here for various posts about cycling the camino. I'm a bit envious of those who have the time to walk and i'm sure it would be a fabulous experience. I'm not exactly in an era of my life where i can take a month+ to do anything. (kids and full-time job back at...

    anyone else?

    hey there. not sure yet! i think im going to rent a bike there in spain, off road set up with panniers. bringing my own bike on a plane from the USA is a big hassle and expense so i dont think i'll do that. if i do the CF i will just follow the walkers route and stay off busy roads as much as...

    anyone else?

    i appreciate your thoughts and encouragement! i have lots to think about and nearly a year to plan... or plan on not planning, other than i'll need to catch a plane from point B on a certain day. i love all the thoughts and tips from everyone!

    anyone else?

    thanks for your tips! im generally a courteous and non agressive cyclist. it will be a pilgrmage fir me also, but i dont want my cycling the camino to negatively impact anyone else's walking one. so i will do my best. still debating CF or el norte... any thoughts about that decision?

    anyone else?

    thanks so much for your input! i am a cyclist and basically fit in general, though attempting a range of 80km per day ish is no walk in the park at any rate. my mindset is that it will be a challenge. i would live to spend more time but im trying to find the life balance if doing something...

    anyone else?

    thanks for the tip! i will be renting a bike when I'm there since checking one from the USA is not worth the hassle. i wonder if bells come with rental bikes? one of the reasons why I'm considering not doing the CF is for fear of disturbing so many walkers. hopefully it will be a good choice!

    anyone else?
