Traveling by bicycle is always around our head, although our agility, more similar to that of a lazy drunk with arteriosclerosis than an Indurain in shape, has reminded us that perhaps going around the world on two wheels ... mmm was not our destination. Eye that there are people who do it * ahhh, sigh of dreamy envy * like Bicicleting, Biciclown, Life of travel or Thecrazytravel

OUR TOURS BY BIKE

That we have not made great trips by bike does not mean that we have never enjoyed cycling while traveling. These are the mini-trips on two wheels that we remember with more affection:

1. ANGKOR

Touring the impressive archaeological complex of Angkor by bike was the best we did in Cambodia: strolling through the most beautiful ancient ruins in the world was simply unforgettable.

2. BAGAN

How to forget the darkness of the road while pedaling towards the most spectacular dawn of our life through Burmese lands? The bikes left us at the Shwesandaw Paya of Bagan at 5 in the morning when only the prayers of a Buddhist monk were heard and the singing of a lonely rooster waiting for the daily sun show to begin.

3. PERAST

There are only 8 kilometers that separate Dobrota from Perast, on the coast of Montenegro, but these 8,000 meters are aesthetically oooorous: coves of crystalline water, flowers of thousands of colors, small villages where old people go out to buy bread or fish with his friends and stone houses that made us consider moving there, buying a fishing rod and hala, to live life!

4. YANGSHUO

Yangshuo has one of the most amazing landscapes we have ever seen: cycling the paths between rice paddies while the karst mountains showed us the direction was one of the best things we did in China. We just missed seeing Goku in a cloud!

5. ROAD OF SANTIAGO

Well, okay, we still didn't do it ... but it's one of the trips we want to do this year. We still do not know if it will be walking or on two wheels, but whatever it is, it will be an interior trip and very different from all we did so far.
