Cycling the Camino de Santiago -- How it Works
If you are thinking about cycling the Camino de Santiago with CaminoWays.com, we have prepared this useful list answering all your questions about your new best holiday friend: your bike!
-How it Works
You have decided to cycle the Camino, you have booked your self-guided holiday and you are now wondering how it will work. Bear in mind, you can also book a guided Camino de Santiago cycling tour, where you will be part of a group and get a support bus (this might be a better option for beginners).
When you arrive at your first hotel, your bike should be there waiting for you, ready for the following day: your first day cycling. The bike will be neatly packed in a box so the handlebar needs to be straightened and the pedals need to be attached. It is important you check the bike before you start your journey, making sure everything is working properly. If you think there is something not quite right, let us know so your bike can get replaced and avoid trouble on your way (in a way, it is similar to renting a car!).
Once you finish your cycle to Santiago you should bring your bike back to the rental company, in the city centre (see directions). If your final destination is not Santiago, the bike will be collected at your hotel.
If mid-tour, you decide you don't need some of the bike accessories (pannier, etc...), make sure to attach them to your luggage so it can be transferred easily (avoiding additional charges and risk of losing the equipment).
-What's Included
A minimum period of 3 days applies when hiring a bike for your Camino de Santiago.
Your bike: We work with local companies and you will get an aluminium 24-gear mountain bike from leading Spanish brand BH. These bikes are specifically designed for the Camino de Santiago terrain and will be adapted to your height. The bike comes with a rack.
Pannier Pack: with a bike repair kit inside. (*If you don't need it, just let us know in advance). The repair kit includes a pump, set of tools, spare inner tube and cables.
We don't provide you with a helmet (for hygiene reasons) but you can bring your own or purchase it with your booking (€30). Bear in mind, by Spanish law, both bicycle drivers and passengers must use officially approved protective helmets when circulating within urban areas, except in long steep slopes, on the grounds of medical reasons or under extremely hot conditions (Spanish Law 43/1999: November 25th 1999). Failure to comply with this could result in a traffic fine.
Additional bike accessories can also be hired or purchased, such as: cover pad with gel, GPS, strapless toe clips, travel bag and water bottle holder.
If you are cycling the Camino with kids, let our travel consultants know in advance as we also have got various options: a trail for 3-4 year olds, trial gator with small 20″ bike for 4-8 year olds or 24″ bikes for kids from 8 years of age (120cm min). They will also give you suggestions for a children-friendly route.
-Support
We have carefully planned the distances you will cover by bike on the Camino, taking into account the nature of the terrain, type of track and other circumstances (If it's a path shared with walkers or not, for example). If you feel distances for your Camino cycle are too short or long, talk to our travel consultants when you are planning your trip. There is probably a good reason behind the mileage chosen, just ask us!
The Camino de Santiago routes cover thousands of miles so it is difficult to have someone on the ground at all times but relax, it runs smoothly all the time!
CaminoWays.com has a 24/7 emergency number should you need assistance (this number is provided with your booking).
Your bike comes with a repair kit for essential repairs such as flat tyres and punctures. In the unlikely event that you had a second puncture, we can provide you with the contact details for the closest bike repair shop (you will be responsible for repair costs). If you are in a remote area and don't fancy walking, we can also get you contact details for local taxis (a taxi transfer will be at your own cost)
If you feel you need a break from cycling, we might be able to organise a transfer for your bike but we will need 48hrs notice and there will be a cost associated to the bike transfer (as additional luggage transfer).
If you are a bike beginner why not consider a guided Camino de Santiago cycling tour instead? Our guided cycling tours of the Camino de Santiago come with a support bus.
Enjoy the ride!

Camino de Santiago: Cycling 764km in 11 Days
Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James) is a pilgrimage for all people at any stage in life. In 11 days, we cycled the 764km (475 miles) of the Camino Francés (French Way) route. This is the most popular of the paths that lead to Santiago de Compostela. Our journey began in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France at the foot of the Pyrenees. The first day consists of climbing these mountains into Spain. Pilgrims come from all over the world and vary in their motivations for this journey. Along the way you're bound to encounter unforgettable churches, masses, monuments, landscapes, and new friends. Buen Camino!

Citizenrod - What bicycle I rode the Camino de Santiago and why - The French Way
Having just completed cycling the Camino de Compostela, a pilgrimage that begins in the French town of Saint Jean Pied de Port and ends in Santiago de Compostela Spain, I talk about the mountain bike that I rode over the 800 kms, and why, as well how I got it back home.
My journey began in Sydney Australia. I lugged my bicycle half way around the world. 20hrs by plane, 8 hrs by bus. Sydney - Dubai - Barcelona - Pamplona - Saint Jean Pied de Port. The bike remained in a box until we arrived in France....phew, what an effort.
After minor assembly, I was ready to go. Over the Pyrenees and across Spain and it's amazing towns. Don't leave this one in your bucket list, start organising yourself now!

Tips for cycling the Camino de Santiago
1- Wear Proper Clothing for Your Trip
Before going on your Camino de Santiago it is important to anticipate climate of the area you are going to be cycling so pack your gear accordingly keeping in mind the time of year you are travelling.
2- Know How to Make Minor Repairs and Adjustments
People who cycle regularly know that flat tires are quite common, therefore if you know how to change it this could save you time and money. So basic knowledge will help you a lot on the Camino.
It's important to know how to make minor adjustments to your bike, like maintaining your brakes in good condition. Getting familiar with how to do other adjustments, like replacing a slipped chain or tightening various bolts, is also recommended. Make sure that you carry a repair kit before cycling the Camino (if you book with CaminoWays.com, your bike for the Camino will come with a repair kit included).
3- Pack Snacks and Water
Obviously cycling takes a lot of energy. To avoid lack of energy, you will need to pack for example some fruits (bananas, apples...), fig bars or energy-packed snacks to keep you going. Equally, energy bars provide a handy combination of nutrients to propel you down the road.
Staying hydrated is even more important especially in summer. Whether you are walking or cycling, drink at regular intervals, every 30 minutes for example.
4- Carry Your ID, Cell Phone and Money
Being prepared is a very important rule for cycling. Accidents happen. If they do, you'll want to be able to call for help. Many smart phones have GPS technology today or the capacity to access the Internet for a map, so do not hesitate to use them. If there's been an accident, you can easily find emergency help.
It's also a good idea to pack your ID and a debit card or small amount of cash. Money and an ID can be absolutely vital when you're in trouble.
5- Pannier Packing Tips
Keep it simple and light. Take the minimum you need for the day's cycle, like water, food, ID, phone and money.
6- Safety First
The most important aspect of cycling is to make sure you're as safe as possible at all times. Check your helmet before you leave and check that it fits snugly but comfortably and doesn't obstruct your view. It's also good to check that all bolts are tightened and your brakes are working correctly. Don't forget to review and study your Camino route before hitting the road. Always pay attention to your environment, you are much smaller and less powerful than the cars you may be sharing the road with. That makes proper signalling, turning and attentiveness all the more important. Always watch out for walkers on your path, especially in the busiest parts of the Camino, as you get closer to Santiago.
Now you are ready to cycle the Camino de Santiago !
