I never, not a single time, thought of bikers as a nuisance. My only recommendation would be to be quite careful as I saw a biker I ran into in Astorga later have a very bad dustup and was quite skinned up.Hi All. My wife and I are planning a three month tour in Europe next year including cycling the camino. I have read that some walkers find cyclists a nuisance. Other than not taking our bikes , what can we do to be less of a nuisance? If you have hiked the camino what was your reaction to cyclists and why?
The best advice i have for you is to be considerate of your fellow pilgrims. I for one don't have an issue with bikers but I can say its a bit scary when someone zooms past you from behind. Most times bikers called out so for me it was not really an issue. Enjoy your ride!Hi All. My wife and I are planning a three month tour in Europe next year including cycling the camino.

I have no problem with cyclists as long as they are courteous (announce their approach and not force walkers to the side). FYI, I have friends who biked the Camino and said they now wish they had walked as you see and experience more in a meditative walkHi All.

Having walked the Camino three times and cycled it the fourth time last year Ivan honestly say I’ve never suffered walking or cycling with other pilgrims however I was very mindful last year when approaching pilgrims give them plenty of warning and approach slowly Keith from NorfolkHi All.

Because of an injury to my leg a walking Camino turned into a bicycle in Camino. And for the most part I rode the trail. If the trail was very thin and there were walkers about, I either walked the bike or found a road. You definitely feel like you’re harassing walkers, if you’re a polite person. But for the most part, walkers were friendly towards me, But I’ve bent over backwards to be polite.Hi All.

Well, it depends which Camino, the route you follow, the time of year you're riding, your cycling ability and what type of bike you ride. Another way of asking the question is "how can peregrinos be less of a nuisance to bicigrinos" but that's a bit controversial as cyclists are generally outnumbered on the Camino.Hi All.

Many of the biker horror stories relate to local MTB riders out for a ride on their bike trail, most bicigrinos are considerate & courteous. So bring your bikes, ride a camino, you won't regret it y buen camino.
