Many people sit at their desks at work, staring aimlessly at their computer screens and wondering what it would be like if they go just dump all this and reach for the wide-open spaces. Others get home, pack some belongings in to a single backpack, stretch their legs, and leave on a bicycle tour.
There are many destinations in the world where people can ride their bikes for miles without interruption. These places have become the on-road temple for people who have finally had enough of city life. There are a number of bicycle tours people can take all around the world that can inspire those who need to get out and get some action. The first among them is without a doubt a tour of the Swiss Alps. This mountain range stretches through 48 peaks, reaching a height off nearly 4000 m. The terrain is tough, but the tortures of hell are bearable just to allow riders to view the beautiful valleys and the snow-clad ridges. After Switzerland, people should cross the border into Italy for a picturesque bicycle tour of Tuscany. The tour encompasses the beautiful stone houses, the Italian villas, the astounding coast and, to top it all, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The third name on this list is that of New Zealand. The country has some of the most pristine and untouched natural beauty in the world; it would be unfortunate to miss out on its magnificent views.
The next three countries on the list are Canada, Mexico, and Ireland. All three offer a wide range of terrain and experiences that people without bikes will surely miss. The local food and scenery are awe-inspiring. The next name on the list is another mountainous region, this time the Pyrenees that separates France and Spain. This perhaps is the hardest terrain that cyclists will encounter. However, the challenge is what makes it so exciting. The next destinations are some of the best routes in Europe, one between France and the Netherlands called the North Sea Route and the other between Germany and Austria. The last name on this list is of Alto Minho wine country in Portugal, which offers scenic routes of the Iberian Peninsula.
