Who Rides with Pedalers

Folks from all walks of life and various countries around the world have joined us for an enjoyable cycling holiday. Your fellow group members will be a varied lot, from teachers to engineers to doctors to students to retirees. The one thing they all have in common is a desire to explore our world at the slow pace of a bicycle tour. As we allow you the freedom to ride at your own pace, your group will have riders of varying levels, paces and skills. And you can usually find someone with similar levels as yourself to explore the scenic highways and byways with.

Most groups are a mix of couple and solo travelers. Men tend to outnumber women, but not by a great amount. Riders range in age from their 30s to their 70s, with longer tours drawing an older crowd and shorter trips a younger set.

Group Size

Our groups are kept small to allow us to enjoy smaller intimate lodges, rather than the large impersonal hotels. Most groups in Asia number 6 to 10 guests, with a maximum of 12 guests on scheduled dates. Our scheduled dates in Asia are guaranteed to depart with a minimum of two guests registered, so you don't need to worry about trip cancellations due to group size when you plan your vacation.

Our camping trips in Alaska can get a bit larger, as we allow up to 18 rides for the Alaska Highway trip and up to 26 riders for BEARS.

Private Trips for Your Club, Company or Group

Bring the whole gang next time. We are most happy to plan a special group outing for your family, friends, bike club, corporation or church group. It can be as simple as a private departure of one of our regularly scheduled trips or a completely custom routing setup especially for you. We have very few limits on how big your group can be, though some of the better hotel choices might have limited numbers of rooms. And how long you travel for is up to you.
