Suitcase stress? We help you!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You are now an expert in packing your suitcase for a city trip, for example. But what should you pay extra attention to when going on (your first) cycling holiday? What should not be missing from the packing list? What things should you not forget? We help you with a handy checklist, so you don't forget anything!<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Stuff that's easy to forget<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Let's start with your standard equipment on the bike. You will be making long rides, so we recommend 2 750ml water bottles. Cyclists often drink too little, so take enough with you. We also always apply butt fat to prevent irritation. A handlebar bag is recommended in the mountains. Then you can take some extra clothes with you for when the weather changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course you also have a bicycle computer to keep track of your performance. You also have a front and rear light on your bike. When you cycle in the mountains, you regularly come across a tunnel. There are also usually no cycle paths abroad, so make sure you are visible. Bring chargers and\/or batteries for the bicycle computer and lights. Flat batteries are also useful if your speed, cadence or power meter breaks down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Useful extras<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Extra things you don't often think about... Your bicycle is being transported, so you have handy foam rollers to protect the important parts. You can also take tape with you to repair minor damage to your handlebar tape. This often happens when 2 bicycles are going to the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are going to cycle for a long time in nature, so take it all in. If you prefer to listen to music or a podcast, Shokz are recommended. This way you can continue to hear the ambient sounds. By the way, you cannot always pay with your phone or debit card abroad. Finally, a so-called ass saver is nice when the road is wet. Then the water will not splash against your buttocks and you will prevent it from chafing on your long ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
