Bicycle tourism is a growing trend for people of all ages, but it is especially appealing to boomers who are looking for an active and adventurous vacation.
There are many reasons why bicycle tourism is a great option for boomers. First, it is easier on aging joints than jogging or other high-impact activities. Second, it allows you to cover more ground than walking, so you can see more of the destination you are visiting. Third, it gives you a more intimate and up-close experience of the place than riding in a car or bus. And fourth, it is a great way to get some exercise and stay healthy.
There are many different types of bicycle tours available, so you can find one that fits your interests and fitness level. If you are a beginner, you can start with a shorter tour with fewer miles per day. If you are more experienced, you can choose a longer tour with more challenging terrain.
No matter what your level of experience, bicycle tourism is a great way to see the world and have an adventure. Here are a few tips for planning your next bicycle tour:
