Tips for Cycle Trips

Cycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by human Power, and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel.Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation.

Distance

On level terrain(地形),without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a day.Distances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit.For many,80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as it

will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activities.

Geography

The gradient(坡度)of the trip will reduce your range.A basic rule is that for every 100 metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time.In hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhill.A long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain pass.However, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain.

Eat

Food choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for more information about foods. As you will be working hard, it's important to get enough energy in your food. On long trips away from major towns-there may be little quality food available, so be prepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises.

Sleep

While you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists.If you are exploring an unfamiliar word, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.

What is real success? I am sure many would come up with answers like lots of money, a big house, a new car, and so on.

It has been interesting to see how my own idea of success has through the years. When I was young, I was eagerly reaching for material success. I chose my jobs accordingly and ended up in . Sure enough, I did earn some pretty good pay checks.

But then a different feeling started to . I began to realize selling was not what I wanted to do all my life. After all I was often forced to sell products that did not really suit customers. All that matters is the amount of money that is made. I became very unhappy.

I came to realize that even with big pay checks I did not feel successful. That is when my search for success turned inwards, I sales and chose another profession–helping people. The feeling of relief and belonging was great–and suddenly I felt successful again. Even though I earned than before, I was much more content.

They are the little sweeties who look pretty cute in a photo,or when sleeping——but a lot less appealing at 30,000 ft,crying loudly in the seat fight next to you.

According to a new survey,almost seven in ten Britons dislike flying with babies so much that they would like to see child-free areas introduced on planes.As for long-distance flights where people want to sleep,almost one in four British travelers believes that no-kid-zones should be fixed as required sections.

The survey was conducted by bookings website LateDeals.co.uk,with 1,108 UK consumers questioned as to what they hate most about air travel.

And our dislike of noisy children and babies on planes runs deep.it seems.

More than a third of us—35 per cent—would pay extra to travel on a childless service.

Long-distance passengers would be prepared to pay an additional £63 to the cost of a return ticket if it meant adults only on board.And on short-distance flights,an extra £28 on the price of a return fare would be considered good value if it guaranteed an absence of angry babies in the middle of the economy-class aisle(走道).

However,screaming babies are not the only source of annoyance for British travellers.In fact,according to the research on the most annoying types of airline passengers,a crying baby ranks as only the fourth.Over half of those surveyed—58 percent—selected ‘drunk travellers’ as their pet peeves.People with‘bad personal hygiene(卫生)’and travellers who kick the back of the seat in front were also near the top of the list,causing anger to 48 and 47 per cent of us respectively(分别地).

Crying babies came in at fourth on the list,a pet peeve for 43 per cent of those surveyed.
