The happiness of the earth is not only on the backs of the horses. Also cycling activates happiness hormones. Endurance sports release endorphins and serotonin after half an hour. The steady movement awakens in us a feeling of harmony. The body is supplied with more oxygen, so sleep becomes deeper and more restful.
With Rückenwind Reisen you can relax even more, because we are there for you on site. We take care of the booking, bring your luggage from place to place and welcome you on our own tours with an information meeting. You will receive information about the bike trip as well as insider tips and your rental bike will be adapted for you.
Sitting right on the bike
The generally recommended posture on the bicycle: arms slightly bent, do not stretch through. The width of the handlebar should roughly correspond to the width of the shoulder. The saddle height fits if you reach the pedal at the bottom with your leg stretched out. Step on the pedal with the ball of your foot, the legs should be slightly bent and not stretched.
In addition, for the effectiveness of your fitness and to protect your joints, we recommend to use a lighter gait and to tread continuously.
For our Rückenwind original trips, an employee will be waiting for you to arrange the bike for you so that you can enjoy all the benefits of cycling.
Regular bicycle check
It is recommended to check your bike through its paces once a year. If you are travelling with your own bicycle, we recommend that you check before your trip. Our rental bikes receive this privilege even after every cycling trip. As soon as the bikes go back to the station, our staff on site check whether everything is still in order before it is handed over to our next customers. Furthermore, we have a bicycle mechanic in Oldenburg who lets the bikes come to a complete check once a year.
Equipment cycling clothing
Helm: It is not mandatory to wear a helmet in Germany. Only it’s important because it protects the head in case of a fall. Pay attention to the TÜV seal of approval when buying.
Cycling trousers: Cycling trousers or shorts have the advantage that they often have a padded insert that pads your buttocks.
Gloves: These prevent pressure marks and blisters on the hands.
T-Shirt /Jacket: They are breathable and therefore avoid heat build-up and dry quickly.
And the most important thing at the end! Take enough with you to drink – preferably water or a diluted fruit juice schorle.
All Rückenwind rental bikes are provided with a saddle bag so you can take your valuables and plenty of drinks with you.
We wish you lots of fun, relaxation and relaxation on your bike tour!
