Soul Crushing and Soul Saving Bike Tours

Bike tourers are an amenable group who understand that theirs is a humbling endeavor. There are highs and lows on every tour, every day. The inherent nature of touring across remote landscapes means rides are subject to whims of Mother Nature, mechanical failures, human emotion. Each day is a toss of the dice.The demand for perfection and order is the enemy of joy. On a bike on a long ride, one must embrace, even savor, the imperfections. Although one may not be in the best of shape or the weather may be threatening, what is important is to make the effort.

Lizard Head Cycling Guides understands this. We strive for the soulful pursuit of bike touring. We delve into remote landscapes to find hotel proprietors who welcome us with warmth; restaurant owners that source their food lovingly; and musicians whose excitement shows in their performances. Our guides—part mechanic, part major-domo, all enthusiasm—would love to take you with them on a brief trip across the changing landscape of our world.
