Biking Departures – Your place to plan your bike trip, big or small.

Biking is the ideal way to explore a place – experience with all your senses while covering more ground than walking. With options available for all ages and fitness levels, from an hour or two to the main focus of your trip, I can ensure that you’ll book the trip of your dreams.

As a passionate traveler who has biked casually since elementary school, 40 years later I’ve now combined these two interests. I have vast experience in the biking-while-traveling field, including 18 times in Europe plus countless times in North America. These have ranged from leisurely cruising down quiet country lanes with my children to climbing Alpine passes on carbon road bikes.

Don’t worry, this isn’t your traditional travel agency. I will give you unbiased advice based on my experiences. I do not have a built-in bias for any specific tour company or style of trip. I am a travel advisor with Departure Lounge LLC, a Virtuoso travel agency.  By being a Virtuoso advisor, I have access to the same, and often better, pricing than you can find online, and many times can obtain special perks like free room upgrades, daily breakfast, and other benefits you can’t get on your own. My goal is to ensure you have a fantastic trip while getting to enjoy cycling, in whatever capacity you want.

There are many options to incorporate biking into your travels. I can aid in narrowing down the options – travel styles, locations, tour operators and more. By my simplifying the process and looking after the details, you can relax and embark on your journey!
