Firstly, decide whether you want to travel on your own or with

you want. For example, you can change your plans more
easily, but it can be more fun to travel with someone else. If

T/F country is flat and cycling is part of the culture.
9 Serena never expected to fail the challenge. T / F
3 ___
10 Serena has never done anything as difficult as that
One of the advantages of cycling holidays is that you can
walk. T / F usually avoid crowded tourist destinations. However, you
/10 should still think about accommodation when you’re planning
your route. If you’re travelling out of season, you might find
accommodation easily. But in the school holidays, you might
not find anything if you haven’t booked. After a hard day’s
cycling, you’ll probably be too exhausted to look for hotels or
campsites!

4 ___
You’ll also need to think about your equipment, and the most
important thing is the bike. If you’ve already got one, you can
use that but, if you haven’t, you can usually rent bicycles quite
cheaply. You should also think carefully about the things
you’ll need. If you pack too much, your bike will be too
heavy. Only take enough clothes for a couple of days because
you can wash them and wear them again.

5 ___
Lastly, don’t go anywhere without travel insurance, which is a
type of document that protects you if you have an accident. In
some countries, you have to pay your hospital bills yourself
and it might cost thousands of pounds. Travel insurance is also
useful if somebody robs you. The insurance company will
replace the things that are stolen. It isn’t usually expensive and
you’ll be a lot more relaxed if you’ve got it.
