Cycling Europe

Cycling Europe CYCLING | TRAVEL | ADVENTURE | PODCAST Andrew P. Sykes is a writer, cyclist, podcaster, filmmaker, speaker and teacher.

He is also a lover of those quirky, humorous travelogues that meander comically from one minor adventure to the next. So writing about a long-distance cycling trip across Europe from southern England to southern Italy seemed the natural thing for him to do once his small-time odyssey was over. The result was 'Crossing Europe on a Bike Called Reggie'. In 2013, he embarked upon a second trip from Gr

eece to Portugal following the Mediterranean coast - 'Along The Med on a Bike Called Reggie' was published in 2014. A third trip was completed in 2015 from the southern tip of Spain (Tarifa) to the northernmost point of Norway (Nordkapp). The book, 'Spain to Norway on a Bike Called Reggie' was published by Hachette/Summersdale in May 2017. Andrew edits a popular cycling website, CyclingEurope.org where you will find more information about his journeys and cycling and travel in general. He also now produces a cycle touring podcast, The Cycling Europe Podcast which is widely available across podcasting platforms. For more details about the man himself, visit apsykes.com. You can see all the pictures from the European cycle journeys on the Cycling Europe on a Bike Called Reggie page. And finally, you can follow the author on Twitter and on Instagram .

Where To Cycle In Sicily With Friends And Family

It's common to see cyclists gathering along Sicily's coastal roads early in the morning, just before the day's heat begins to build. Some are heading towards fishing villages where market stalls are being set up for the day, while others are climbing inland through vineyards and olive groves. Part of Sicily's appeal for cyclists is how quickly the scenery changes. A ride that begins beside the sea can end among Baroque towns, rolling countryside, or volcanic landscapes. Families, groups of friends, and cycling clubs will find plenty of variety here. Between rides, there are historic centres to explore, beaches to enjoy, and villages where daily life still revolves around local squares and bustling markets....
