I’m far from an expert on cycling abroad, in fact, before this year I’d never even done it! This year though, I bought a BikeBox Allen and put it to good use, cycling in Mallorca in March, The Alps in June and most recently in Girona in September. I’ve been reflecting on how each offers something slightly different and also on which ones I’d like to return to.

Cycling Indoors
I’ve really got into cycling over the last two years, but I’ve never been a big fan of cycling indoors, it just doesn’t hold the same appeal. No sun in your face, no views to take in, no coffee and cake stops and no exploring the nearby countryside.
