    Love our bikes

    June 27, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    So good travelling with a bike.

    It extends the adventure, and lets you see places that you miss in a car. Riding a previously driven road is often a completely different experience.

    We will probably do 30,000k on this trip, I think a few hours spent outside the car is beneficial.

    It’s a good way to avoid incidental kilometres on the car, and avoid $’s at the bowser.

    Yesterday’s we arrived at the trail head to a sacred aboriginal site with caravan in tow. It was obvious that the road was pretty sketchy, so we dropped the bikes off and away we went. Such a reward when we got there. We may have decided to skip it if we didn’t have the cycle option.

    Nothing better than exploring a new town by bike. People often go out of their way to talk to us, which would be a missed experience if we were in the car.

    It’s a good way to get some exercise.

    It’s way better than walking [in my opinion - Ian]
