Tips for the planning
ü Are you biking around Bornholm July and August then it is a good idea to contact your next expected accommodation for availability.
ü Think off, that the coast north of Bornholm to around Gudhjem is the toughest biking path. Here will you meet some really steep hills and there are quite a lot of them.
ü Check you bike firmly before you start the tour of the day.
ü Make clear biking rules for the children. E.g. that they shall stop on top of the hill as it can be a steep and dangerous way down if you have too much speed.
ü Go on some training tours before you start your biking vacation.
