Hi
I would love to cycle the Camino from Lisbon but I am worried for a few reasons:
- That I will get lost
- The rental bike not being in perfect condition and something going wrong (I won't be able to fix anything other than a puncture). I would feel safe on my bike but it is not practical to bring my bike from South Africa....
- That it is dangerous
- Something goes wrong and there are not many people on that route.
What is the route like from Lisbon?
The Portugues route seems easier and more scenic and I love Lisbon...
Will it be better to start in Porto?
What are the quality of the rental bikes like? I cycle with a full suspension Giant. I don't even know if I can cycle with an oldish bike with the extra weight of the panniers.
Apologies for the panic....
Regards
Ell
