walking or cycling

[pieterpannevis]

Dear all,
 As a fervent cyclist myself I can imagine the idea of cycling the camino!
However please don’t!

You miss a lot. As quoted earlier some tracks can only be done by mountain
bikes

So it’s not really an option (as mountain bikes do not take much luggage
either, but yet more important thing is that if you would cycle “normally”
you will be ordealed to the tarmac too often and missing out sports foot
pilgrims enjoy.)
I can prove this by my own experience as one year I drove a car along the
Camino Frances and even as I did know there were lovely sights quit close to
the road
they were not seen, nor experienced and not felt.

To that there is the hierarchy in pilgrims that foot pilgrims come first in
a “good” alberques and then cyclist. In a busy year it might be rather
difficult as a cyclist to find accommodation in alberques.

So ..Walk on!
And take care



as always:
Ultreya and good health to you !
'May the Road rise with you"
