Bike Transport from L.A. to Biarritz & Santiago De Compostela/ Coruna to L.A.
We have cycled Camino Frances twice and both times brought our bikes from the US aboard American Airlines. The fee per bike was $75 each way, and may be as high as $150. Either way, if you are going to be using a bike for nearly a month as we were, it was still cheaper than rental. More...- Walsh Camino

Please, get a bell for your bike!
Yes, thanks Pelegrin. I also believe that is the natural reaction, to move to the right as someone is passing on the path since it is a path, not a road. It seems people would behave more as they do on a city sidewalk than on a road with cars when walking on the path, and that would be to move...- Walsh Camino

Please, get a bell for your bike!
It takes both a bell and a verbal cue...Buen Camino works well and also an indication of which side you are passing and the number of bikes following you. Our group has little interest in speed, in fact you may be walking faster than we can bike. And usually if the path is narrow, it's also...- Walsh Camino

Transporting my bike by coach
Hi Justin, Love your simple solution. Am I understanding correctly that you didn't have to take the front wheel off, and you just draped the plastic over the bike to cover the greasy chain and gears and rolled right on to the bus? Thanks for the info. Judy- Walsh Camino

Cycling the Frances in May
Renting is certainly an option, but I was very happy to have my own bike that is just my size for the 800 km ride. Also, we had to cut our trip short in Astorga due to the sudden death of my dad. It was difficult enough to figure out how to get our own bikes to Madrid so we could fly to the...- Walsh Camino

Cycling the Frances in May
Annarosa, We cycled the Camino Frances in 2012...never felt like our bikes were going to get stolen. Actually they are not that inviting when they are loaded down with panniers. We never had a problem finding a place to secure them at night. Biking the Camino is just as challenging as...- Walsh Camino

Cycling the Camino on Paved roads
We rode the Camino Frances from SJPP in fall 2012. Hybrid bikes with suspension shocks and size 38 tires. We were about 50/50 path and road. We were no less pilgrims than the walkers on the path, and in fact, because we went at a leisurely pace taking every 4th day off, we were with many of the...- Walsh Camino

Buy or rent a bike
We are flying to Barcelona from U s with our bikes. Does anyone have first hand experience transporting their bike from Barcelona to Pamplona either by train or bus? If so what are the requirements regarding disassembling the bike?- Walsh Camino

2 female cyclists need encouragement!
Hi Michelle, We biked our first Camino Frances in Sept 2012 from SJPP. We were in reasonably good shape, on hybrid bikes and took the road route. It was a dreary rainy day and so for us quite a humbling experience with lots of pushing our bikes and getting used to being on the shoulder of a...- Walsh Camino
