For cyclists who crave the pure, unadulterated joy of pedaling under their own power, Backroads has unveiled its new Unplugged Bike Tours. These tours are designed to cater to those who prefer the traditional cycling experience, without the aid of electric assistance.
Backroads, renowned for its active travel adventures, is expanding its already diverse lineup of bike and e-bike tours with 83 new non-electric cycling experiences across some of the world’s most stunning destinations. From the rolling hills of California Wine Country to the picturesque landscapes of Italy, France, Spain, Canada, and Japan, these Unplugged tours offer a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded enthusiasts and explore scenic routes in a truly authentic way.
The Unplugged Bike Tours are meticulously crafted to deliver the same high-quality experience that Backroads is known for. Each tour features multiple Trip Leaders and support vans to cater to riders of all skill levels, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable journey. Backroads provides its custom titanium Performance and Touring bikes, specifically designed for optimal balance, agility, and comfort, ensuring a smooth ride through diverse terrains.
To preserve the integrity of the Unplugged experience, e-bikes will be available only to a limited number of participants who wish to ride alongside their non-electric cycling companions. This way, everyone can enjoy the shared experience of cycling without the distraction of varying speeds and power levels.
To celebrate the launch of the Unplugged Bike Tours, Backroads Founder Tom Hale will be leading a special trip through California Wine Country in May. Limited spots are available for this unique experience, offering a chance to ride alongside the founder himself. Additionally, members of Backroads’ Executive Team will be joining select Unplugged tours in various locations, such as Italy and Spain, throughout the year.
Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or just starting out, Backroads’ Unplugged Bike Tours offer an exceptional opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Explore stunning destinations and discover the pure joy of traditional cycling on these carefully curated adventures.
