3.000 kilometers in 3 months: our cargobike holiday in numbers
Amsterdam-Spain. That sounds like quit a journey, but how far is it exactly when you follow cycling routes. How many kilometers did we make a dag? Were we cycling our cargo bikes évery day? Our journey in numbers:
- We travelled for 104 days.
- 31 days were “cycling days”, travelling from one adress to another.
- On average we cycled 71 kilometers on a cycling day.
- 30% of all nights we slept in our tent.
- Over one third of our holiday we spent with family or friends.
- We went uphill for over 16 kilometers.
- That has costed us 5 breaking pads and 1 flat tire.
If you want to know more, I have added the details in an overview below. All etappes. All accomodations. All ascented meters. So if you have any cargobike holiday ambition: you know were you are up to!
