    Bicycle danger near Castrojeriz

    I think too many walkers who have minimal cycling experience think that cycling the "boring bits" will make life easier. They are missing out on some of the best contemplation sections, they dont have the correct safety equipment, they dont know how to handle offroad and they find that actually...

    Transport Bicycle from Porto Airport to near the Cathedral. Do Bus, Train, Metro allow Bikes?

    Transport Bicycle from Porto Airport to near the Cathedral. Do Bus, Train, Metro allow Bikes? We fly in and out of Porto Airport and need to get to our hostel near the Cathedral. How do we travel? Do buses, trains or metros allow bicycles onboard?

    Bikers, please give walking pilgrims warning!

    In that case they are not bicigrinos (cycling pilgrims) but normal cyclists being inconsiderate.

    Best Camino by bike?

    Hi Steve Do you have gpx tracks for the Portuguese route by bike? WE only have a week, so thinking the ride from Porto to SdC is best bet as Ive heard coming out of Lisbon is ugly and industrial... your opinion? Also did you use a baggage forwarding service? I know it is not possible close to...

    Is it possible to cycle 200km in 5 days?

    yes you can. I did Burgos to SdC in 10 days (525km) so averaging about 50km per day, leaving our accom at about 9am and getting in to the next night stop about 2pm. We had mountain bikes and rode the whole way on the walkers route except: 1. the steep downhill from Cruz le Ferro to Molinaseca...

    Cycling from Burgos to Leon

    We cycled Burgos to SdC in October 2019, all on the footpaths. Used mtb bikes. There were a few trickier patches but manageable if you are a relatively comfortable cyclist. Advice re walkers is good...use a bell, slow down, be considerate that they may not hear you, may react unpredictably and...

    Biking the Camino

    We are busy cycling it at the moment - currently in Sahagun. There is a book called Cycling the Camino by Mike Wells available as an ebook on kindle or Amazon. If you buy the book, you can also download both his road on footpath gpx files. My biggest frustration has been the lack of gps files...

    Online guidebook to the Camino by bike

    Thanks i was just hoping to have the gps as a guide since reading and cycling are mutually exclusive activities. Im sure we will figure it out....being our first camino and first cycle, we are just trying to be prepared.

    Online guidebook to the Camino by bike

    Great guide. Thank you. Hubby and I are starting from Burgos on 13 October....our first Camino and my first long distance tour. Feeling a bit nervous. Are your routes available as downloadable gpx files? I can find road routes OR walking routes online, but none that include the turns where to...

    Cycling the Camino

    Hi EbenI'd love to hear from fellow South Africans who have cycled the camino. We start in 2 weeks time from Burgos. Still battling to find a form of navigation (other than guide books which are useless while youre cycling) that show the footpath and where to deviate onto road for the rough...

    Physical training needed to cycle?

    Thanks Ru1036, very helpful insight. Whilst my husband is a very fit mtb rider, Im not quite there. Can comfortably do 50-60km per day on road, but am wondering how much I need to adjust those distances to ride much of the trail on the foot trail. 50km per day? Too little? Never ridden with...

    Which Cycling Route - 1st time on camino?

    Thanks we do have bells. Live in Thailand where pedestrians are more interested in phones than traffic. Its quite an adventure getting out!

    Which Cycling Route - 1st time on camino?

    Thanks, if I had my choice I'd walk it to get the full social experience - I hear cycling is rather different? But leave is limited and hubby is a cyclist. I would still like to stick to pathways etc used by pilgrims, not have to use roads. I much prefer pathways and dirt to tar. Is that possible?

    Which Cycling Route - 1st time on camino?

    Did you take your own bikes or rent? Did you need panniers or just take a backpack?

    Which Cycling Route - 1st time on camino?

    Want to cycle the Camino later 2019 or spring 2020. We are use to casual mtb riding. I dont know where to start planning. Which is the best recommended route to follow - without being crowded? Can cyclists follow the same paths as hikers, use the same accommodation, etc? What is security like in...
