Liability and Personal Health Insurance: 

​Bike and Trek Adventure does not provide personal liability insurance to the guests on the trip. We suggest that each guest has the relevant Personal Health Insurance for traveling in Asia and that it covers activities such as cycling. In the Mekong there is not extensive first aid support such as ambulances and modern medical practices. We provide a support vehicle for such instances. 

BICYCLE

We provide high-quality bicycles equipped with pannier bags for carrying luggage, so the bike bears the weight instead of your shoulders. When booking, please provide your height and weight to ensure the correct frame size for your bicycle at the start of your holiday.

 

E-Bike Bergamont: Each bicycle is labeled with the client's name. On the first day, you'll have the opportunity to test your bicycle and make any necessary adjustments for comfort. Along with the pannier, you will receive a helmet and a water bottle.

 

We also offer extra clothing provisions, including sweaters, jackets, and gloves. If you prefer to use your own pedals or saddle, we can assist with fitting them. We provide spare parts and handle all day-to-day maintenance to ensure your ride is smooth and trouble-free.

Spanish bicycle regulations:

  • Outside of metropolitan areas, all bikers of 16 years of age and younger must always wear helmets. There are exceptions for expert riders, difficult climbs, and during periods of extreme heat.

  • It is probably advisable to always wear a helmet because it seems that what constitutes a city core is debatable and subject to police judgement. (A fine of 200 euros is applicable if otherwise)

  • Similar to when a car's lights would need to be turned on, reflective apparel and lights must be fitted and used in situations where they are important (necessary during tunnels, sunset to sunrise). Lights shouldn't be necessary on your bicycle if you want to avoid riding at night on the Camino.

  • Hands-free Bluetooth and headphones, even in one ear, are forbidden. (Fine of €190 imposed)

  • It is not permitted to travel on free or toll highways. Unless otherwise indicated by a sign, cyclists older than 14 may ride on the shoulder of a toll-free highway.

  • Running a stop sign or a traffic signal, driving while intoxicated, etc. are all offences that carry fines similar to those for driving.
