Europe in the Fall

What better time to tour Europe by bicycle than in the lovely Fall season? As the leaves begin to change and the summer heat fades, countries such as Spain, Italy and Czech Republic couldn’t be more welcoming. Most tourists have gone home, restaurants are reopened from their time off in August, and hotels have rooms to spare. If you are culturally curious there is no better time to pedal through the towns while wine grapes are being harvested and the local cuisine is even more delicious with the addition of the season’s just collected wild mushrooms and truffles. September and October is the perfect time for a self-guided bike tour!
