We try to make the tour as inclusive as possible for any level of fitness or experience with bike touring. We cycle a maximum of 30–70 km per day (depending on the hills), and on average half of the days we stay in a place without cycling. Our experience is that almost everyone can manage this, but there is the possibility to shorten the distances if we discover that it is too much. People cycle in small groups or alone, at whatever speed suits them, and many people like to take it slow and take lots of breaks. A detailed route plan for the day is shared in the morning, arrows are drawn with chalk on the road at every turn, and if you get lost you can always call the Biketour phone. If you have a shitty bike, you will not be the only one, and we enjoy supporting each other if something breaks. We make sure that the last people to leave carry a toolbox, a phone and a first-aid kit in order to assist if anything goes wrong on the road.

Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English. Per ragioni di convenienza del visitatore, il contenuto è mostrato sotto nella lingua alternativa. Puoi cliccare sul link per cambiare la lingua attiva. Fuer Fluechtlinge, wie diejenigen, die wir in Bad Belzig getroffen haben, ist die Grenze zwischen Stadt und Land eine, die fuer sie noch viel mehr von Bedeutung ist, als fuer Menschen mit nicht-eingeschraenkter Bewegungsfreiheit – fuer welche ja die Stadt-Land-Unterschiede auch sichtbar, aber nicht unbedingt lebensentscheidend sein koennen. Denn wer als Asysuchender_r nach deutschem Recht innerhalb der “Kreisgrenzen” einer kreisfreien Stadt (z.B. Berlin) gefangen ist, hat dort andere…
