You sight the hill and decide. The wind howling through the aerodynamics of your helmet, you zoom down the trail into the rocky terrain, joyriding your way over the miniature mountains as the warm sunlight welcomes you to the landscape. But only just. You steer and pedal your way feeling every vibration, embracing every scent. You make your way up the hilltop to see nature in all its glory.
Your next tour could potentially be an experience to cherish for the rest of your life. It is important to choose the best mode of transport possible. Let’s talk about why a tour bike could be the perfect companion on your adventure.
Mobility
Bikes are compact and easy to carry when your expedition is halted by a hurdle. You can cram through tight spaces and make your way through on the other side without a single scratch to you or your bike. This saves time as compared to changing your entire route just because of an obstruction. A luxury that is not available in land cruisers made specifically for touring.
Easy on the wallet
Speaking of luxury, bikes are significantly cheaper than other mainstream modes of transport. You can pick up a flagship bike for less than 1000 USD.
However, it is still dangerous. In rugged terrain, accidents are bound to happen. Luckily, bikes are even easier to repair and maintain. Lubrication and spare parts can even be assembled without any external help. But also, you save up on liters of fuel in the process whilst getting a good leg day to compensate for the ones you’ve skipped.
Renewable
While looking out for yourself when enjoying the beauty of nature, it is important you respect it too. After all, you are a visitor. Land cruisers and Jeeps are prone to injuring crawling animals, destroying habitation, and leaving emissions in an environment untainted by a pollution savy human civilization.
Durability
Due to lesser components and impeccable frame design, bikes have a lesser chance of malfunctioning during tours. Whether it be heavy rain or mucky ground, odds are your bike will survive it just fine. The frame designs are available in a variety of materials depending on the type of bike you are purchasing. From carbon fiber all the way to titanium. So a bad fall or a really long ride, your bikes got you covered.
You don’t need to worry about engine failure or an overheated radiator. Just carry a water bottle with you instead, to keep yourself hydrated, it’s good for you anyway.
Experience
The fifth and probably the most important reason a bike is recommended is for the experience it provides. You get to have a more intimate experience with nature. Hear the faint chirps of crickets instead of a blaring engine, feel the humidity on your skin instead of an air-conditioned car and have a rawer perspective on the expedition.
So put on your helmet, prioritize your wanderlust, and pedal to Kolossus Adventures today as they plan the most memorable journey of your life. Your most scenic view awaits you.
