Top ten reasons to sign up for a Bike Tour

Sightseeing by bicycle is an unhurried, physically exhilarating form of personal travel. Whether you cycle in Wisconsin, or venture overseas to Europe and beyond, biking is absolutely the best way to truly experience the world that surrounds you.

1. Meet New People
If you like to bike, it's a great feeling to do something you love and meet other people who like doing the same thing!

2. Learn from the Experts
On tour you will not only make new friends, but you will receive helpful advice from cyclists who have refined the many aspects of touring down to a science.

3. See Food, Eat Food
A delightful side effect to biking is a definite increase in your appetite. Food will not only look and taste better, but you'll be amazed on how much you can eat after a long day in the saddle.

4. Small Town Life
Meet the local town folk and really experience the character of the area. Watch their eyes widen, facial expression change, as they ask with disbelief, 'You went over that hill on a bike?'

5. Explore the Hidden out of the Way Places
Bikes are nimble and make it easy for you to divert slightly off the route and experience nooks and crannies of the area that you would never see from a car.

6. Exercise!
Biking is a wonderful, body-friendly form of aerobic exercise. A bicycle tour isn't a race, so you don't have to be a super athlete to ride on one. When you sign up for any tour, make sure that your ability to ride matches that of the anticipated route.

7. Wisconsin Has Great Roads
Our state truly has some of the finest two-lane roads in the country for bicycle touring.

8. Sense of Accomplishment
Finishing a tour is a great achievement and a wonderful personal victory. You'll be amazed to find that you can't wait to do it again.

9. Enjoy Nature
Smell the flowers, hear the birds, see eagles soaring overhead, and view it all from a spectacular vantage point-just behind your handlebars.

10. It's Fun!
