    Mother and son bicycle Camino

    ridiculous - something else to really annoy me, just when I was getting over previous trite gimmicks - roller-blading, unicycles, faux-mendicant mendacious men juggling giraffes... I yearn to return to the Camino - personally I feel my sons are too young for the Camino or for my to take a month...

    Day of Rest

    As ever, I absolutely defer to the wisdom and insight of Sillydoll. Entirely right - rest when needed. I would enter a plea for the Maragateria - the lovely area before amidst the hills after Astorga, great places to recoup energy. Cacabelos in the Bierzo is wonderful - specifically the local...

    Cycling the Camino on Paved roads

    Many sections indeed are suitable for most bikes - in some areas all bikes. One time I cycled the camino was with a friend who took a Dawes Galaxy tourer - he mixed road and trail ad hoc without problem and thrived. On my, pre-suspension, mountain bike with panniers the walking route was fine...

    Bike security?

    We were no more or less concerned about this than when cycling/cycle touring elsewhere. We locked bikes together and were alwats careful to remove easily stolen items such as lights and pumps. By using Ortlieb paniers we could unclip bags very easily. Valuables and documents went in the...

    Cycling the Camino in Crocs?

    I am a keen cyclist - on Monday I am setting off on a solo tour to raise money and awareness for a mental health charity. I have never used such pedals or clips - decades ago I used toe clips. Are they difficult to use ? Is falling over absolutely inevitable? Will I end Iup with even sorer...

    Travelling by bike.

    having ridden and walked the camino I would highlight the need for training whichever means one opts for. Cycling will still require shoulder use - loading, unloading, transfers and also whilst cycling on or off road whilst climbing hilly sections of which there are, of course, many throughout...

    The Art of Kit!

    Well, generally I'm pretty much guaranteed to always have the following - walking and cycling. I do alot of camping as well. So - bar towels. Even for my daily rides in the Pennines, on the Trail, or wherever. Camping, cooking, cleaning, stopping stuff banging about, loads of uses. bike...

    Your advice - Cycling the actual Camino Frances ????

    As regards panniers and racks, the best panniers are Ortlieb. Totally waterproof and robust. Bar bag very secure and easily moved - it comes with a lock to the handlebars, 40L on back and half that on front makes for ample space for any trip. Racktop bag, medium size, on back of bike can take...
