Easier than you thought: Get off the stationary bike and actually go somewhere!

A multi-day bike tour can be a fantastic experience: On a crisp, quiet morning in France, you might find yourself drifting alongside glorious fields of sunflowers. But you must consider the flip side-changing a flat in the rain with a sore behind and chafed thighs-before planning a vacation spent mostly on a bike seat. If you pay $400 or more per day to a high-end operator, you'll never have to worry about getting stuck in the rain, making a wrong turn, or changing a tire. There are also options if that's out of your budget, or if the idea of paying someone to refill your water bottle, adjust your brakes, and plan your every move doesn't seem like much of an adventure. Make the wrong move, though, and you'll need a few days' respite after your "vacation" ends.
