Weather

The nature of a bike tour makes your experience particularly susceptible to the weather. Clients often call us to ask, “What happens if it rains during my bike tour?” To which we always respond – “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing choices." 

Preparation

In all seriousness, though, review our tips on clothing and equipment for pointers on good choices of fabric and styles. Most cyclists ride through the weather with some quick-dry clothes and rain gear. Layers are crucial for temperatures that could vary throughout the day or week.

Seasons

Different people prefer different kinds of weather for touring by bike. Some prefer hot and humid, while others would melt in those conditions. Think about climate and seasons carefully when selecting a destination or a departure date. Weather Underground offers information on average and record temperatures at many destinations throughout the globe.
