From Weekend Cyclist to Touring Europe: Cycling the Danube Self-Guided

What is it really like to take the leap from weekend rides to your first cycling holiday abroad?

KE’s Eb has just returned from Cycling the Danube: Vienna to Budapest, our self-guided cycling adventure through Austria, Slovakia and Hungary. In this interview, she shares what it was like to make that step: from getting used to touring bikes and luggage transfers to navigating the route, tackling the daily distances and balancing days in the saddle with time to explore Vienna and Budapest.

Whether you’re a regular weekend cyclist wondering if you’re ready for something bigger, or simply curious about how a self-guided cycling holiday actually works, Eb’s experience gives you a first-hand look at what to expect.
