Apps & maps please French way

[LisaSydney]

Hello. I’m currently walking (woman 56) from SJPDP to Santiago with my son (nearly 15) he wants to ride so I’m going to hire him a bike in Lagrono tomorrow. I need to work out if he follows a different route and what app or map to use and if we need to stay in specific albergues or can take bike to any albergue. I will continue walking so he will ride ahead and meet me at the end of each day. I will walk about 25-30km per day so not big days on the bike. His back pack is only 5.5kg without water so I need to work out if he can wear it riding, or get rack & strap backpack to rack, or buy panniers & post backpack to Santiago. The latter options more expensive so im hoping since his pack is light maybe he can ride with it. Thoughts & advice welcome please.

Give him a slap and tell him to walk!

What exactly is he going to do when he arrives at your destination 5 - 6 hours before you do? The laundry? Shop for and cook you a delicious supper? Work on interpreting the influences of the Romanesque on later church architecture? Hang in the hood with a couple of spliffs?

If he’s got a 5.5kg backpack I guess you’re carrying half his stuff. Give it back to him and point him down the road.

in orde to rent a bike for a fifteen year old, the child needs to be accompanied by an adult. not allowed to cycle on his own on a rental bike. and no chance to talk yourself out of it since you have to show your passport.

let him walk.
