This is not a race.
It's a cycle tour for people who want meaning, not medals.
Self-carry tours through Europe's most beautiful landscapes.
Small groups. Traffic-free routes. Wellbeing built into every day.
Why self-carry cycling?
Self-carry means carrying your belongings in panniers for the entire journey. It’s you and your bike, along with our experienced team leading the tour. You're supported, not managed. Independent, but never on your own.
Our European tours come with a hybrid or mountain bike with two panniers as standard. Light enough to manage. Heavy enough to feel accomplished
Carrying your own gear changes the experience.
It creates:
Independence
A natural daily rhythm
Real immersion in the landscape
This is not about speed.
It’s about presence.
Well-being is built into every day
Not added on at the end. Designed into the rhythm.
Morning yoga or mobility sessions
Stretching and recovery breaks
Mindful pacing throughout the ride
Stops along the journey for photos, drinks and to explore
This keeps you energized, not depleted.
This experience is intentionally selective.
This is for you if you:
Are comfortable cycling 40–60 km per day
Prefer small groups over crowds
Value independence, rhythm, and time to think
Want wellbeing designed into the journey and not just added on
Who is this for.
