Where do you go for Holidays with your bike?
Hello Community!
Does someone from you goes for Holidays with him/her bike? If so, would I like to know where it would be best to do a biking holiday.
Could be in summer or winter. So I am curious about your experiences with holidays with your bikes.

Depends on where you want to go and what you want to do. People here do everything from supported canal path trips with rented bikes in Europe to riding from Canada to Mexico offroad on mountain bikes. There's a lot of inbetween.

I assume you mean by "holiday" is what we call "vacation" in the USA. When we (my family) take vacation I almost always take my bike along. I make time most days early to go out and ride. Most places have some bike friendly areas to ride, or MUP trails. If you're looking for a bike specific vacation, just pick a spot you'd like to see and plan it. I did a one week tour in the Eastern part of my state last month. I drove to a spot, left my vehicle and rode a big loop down the NC Outer Banks, camping some nights, motels some nights, averaging 40-50 miles a day, winding back up at my vehicle, then drove home. Strava, Ride with GPS, MapMyRide and some other apps can help you plan bike friendly routes. Google maps can give you a 360° photo view of most U.S. roads, intersections, etc. to help with planning.

Hello!
Thank you for your suggestions. Yes mean vacation. Do you take your bike also with you if you might fly farer away?
Would be curious if I could combine biking with my next trip to ****et for Winter vacation?
Then I also could attend some boat trips like that offered by the Club Champagne ****et.

Rowan and I travel with our bicycles for holidays quite frequently. Do have a look at the airline you wish to use because each one has different rules for bicycles and many of them require that you pay something to transport the bicycle.

After taking several bike tours in northern Europe , Often flying from California,
I moved to a place in the US, to retire, where other people come to or pass thru on their holidays.

I brought my own bike, but I have a folding bike ("Bike Friday") which packs into a suitcase.
