The company has personally researched all itineraries so can answer most queries about them. StyleMost itineraries include non-cycling days for families to relax, take excursions, mountain hikes or try water sports. The relaxed routes are generally flat or downhill and cover less than 100 miles. The cost includes route notes, luggage transfer and the services of a Freewheel host. If, for example, it rains heavily there is the opportunity to take a train or ferry to the next hotel on most routes.
