We'll let you in on what you should definitely take with you on a one-day or multi-day bike tour.

But take note: this packing list is only intended as a guide and reference, since what you pack will also depend on your personal requirements, the type of tour and your accommodation. We would like to give you a tip, however, which is to consider exactly which items are absolutely necessary. This is because everything has to be stowed on the bike and every kilo of luggage has to be "pedalled along". Therefore, this list should be seen as an initial recommendation before making a decision based on your individual needs.
