Get excited about cycling in another country by bicycle, be it touring or just local transportation!
Reading Time: 6 minutesLast October, we visited Aveiro in Portugal, a lovely mid sized town with pleasant weather. It is known for its salt lagoons (birding) and its Arte Nova. Cycling might be a good third thing to enjoy in this flat town behind the Atlantic coast.
Reading Time: 7 minutesWe cycled a stretch of Portuguese coast line from Cascais to the Atlantic Ocean and were surprised to find some very Dutch looking cycling infrastructure.
Reading Time: 8 minutesThroughout Portugal you can find an increasing number of dedicated cycling facilities, often called Ecopistas. This week, we’ll take you on an interesting ride on the Ecopista de Évora in the Portugese province of Alentejo, known for its cork trees, white washed villages, wine and vistas.

Reading Time: 5 minutesJust before Ontario closed its border for Quebeckers, we took a last trip to enjoy the Gatineau pathways. We came back with cheese and dessert in our panniers.
Reading Time: 7 minutesThere is more than cycling on multi use pathways and roads. Gravel biking is becoming more popular and the area around Ottawa in Eastern Ontario offers tons of possibilities. We’ll take a closer look at the Log Driver’s Waltz around Ottawa.
Reading Time: 9 minutesTravelling with a campervan brought us to some beautiful places in Quebec. But it requires some travelling as distances are vast. Enter #vanlife
