Seeing a country by bicycle Seeing a country by bicycle I Chose a topic about visit a country by cycling because it reminds me of my trip on Denmark on last holidays. It was a very beautiful trip and so, I know the topic. Visit a country by cycling calls a long preparation : for training, for organization, for purchases, and much more. I was very busy few days before starting (ou going, ou mieux leaving : avant de partir). The step one is the training: We don't go to visit a country without a serious training. It is very different to usual training. Usually, when we train, we cycle sometimes the week-end, when the weather is beautiful, when we are not tired. If we don't want to cycle, we stay at home. But to visit a country, we will need to cycle every day. When it is raining, we are cycling, when it is cold, we are cycling, when it is windy, we are cycling too. Furthermore, the last day, when the plane takes off (leaves), you must to be here : you have an appointment. It's an obligation. We can't lose time. We have to cycle with luggage every day. News aches occur because we don’t use to cycle every day. Because of the luggage, it's more difficult and we cycled longer. Usually, when we cycle for eighty kilometers during four hours, we don’t too tired. A classical bike weighs about ten kilos. When you are seeing a country by bicycle, you have your luggage, your tent and all which is necessary for traveling. For my trip, In Copenhaguen, I rented a bike which weighed about fifteen kilos, I had a luggage wich weighed about twenty kilos, and I carried yet water weighed three kilos every day. The total was near forty kilos. For the same distance, but with forty kilos, it’s harder and we cycle very slower. Furthermore, we can find the correct balance if we don’t want to fall off. It’s harder and it requires additional efforts. The first time which I tried to cycle with this weight, I was afraid because I could not to cycle right. I zigzagged. I could not stand on the pedals neither). The third day, I ran right and I could stand on the pedals. The fifth, I could stand on the pedals and I could sprint in this position. The brain becomes used very fast : it’s fantastic.
