    Peddle along temple ruins in Sri Lanka<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Polonnaruwa. This royal city is on the UNESCO World Heritage List for good reason. Here you\u2019ll find the most beautiful stupas, Buddha statues and pagodas in all of Sri Lanka. The area is more than three square kilometers large so a\u00a0bicycle is a very useful tool<\/a>\u00a0for exploring a large part of the complex. They\u2019ve taken all ages into account so they even have bikes for the smallest among us. But you can always go for a child seat of course, if you prefer. Try playing a game of \u2018I spy\u2019 or \u2018who can count the most Buddha statues?\u2019 and you\u2019ll have guaranteed fun for hours.<\/p>\n

      Rush past the red rocks in America<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


      \n<\/strong>Show them a mountain bike and most kids will jump right on one, am I right? Those kids get exactly what they want at\u00a0      Zion National Park.<\/a>\u00a0The reserve, which is mostly known for its red rock formations, is an excellent place to go cycling in. It isn\u2019t just for teenagers either as younger kids can participate with a special trailer bike too. Helmets are also taken care of. Rush through the canyons, past red-brown colored rocks, waterfalls, limestone walls and gorges. Indians used to live here\u2026 how cool is that?<\/p>\n

        Catching the wind in your hair on Bali<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Green, more green and the greenest: that\u2019s probably the best way to describe Bali. In the heart of the island you will find rice fields as far as your eyes can see. This is an amazing place to explore by bike, especially if you have a\u00a0local guide that can tell you everything you need to know about the Bali life<\/a>. You\u2019ll come across temples and stop at an elementary school where your kids can make friends with Indonesian students. Are you feeling a little tired? Try charging your battery at a\u00a0warung<\/em>, where you can taste real Balinese coffee and, if you\u2019re in for it, sour inlaid vegetables or so called adjar. But don\u2019t eat too much because at the end of your trip your guide will have a fully decked rice table ready for you at their home. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

          An active break in Canada<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The land of bears, mountains and forests: Canada. This is the perfect country where those who like the outdoors feel best at home. On your way to the Rocky Mountains you\u2019ll find\u00a0Sun Peaks, the smaller and less known younger brother of the more popular Whistler<\/a>. That is, if you know your way. This area is almost calling out to be explored by bike. Big or small, experienced or not so experienced, everyone gets what they want here. You can take a relaxing bike tour too for example, especially good if you have young kids. Are your kids a little older and starting to become dare devils? Get into a chairlift with your mountainbike to go up and rush downhill to where you started in an hour.\u00a0An adrenaline kick is\u00a0guaranteed!<\/p>\n

            Bike riding through the unknown Bangkok<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Unknown Bangkok, is there even such a thing? Of course there is!

You do need to know the way but luckily they have guides for that. So how does one reach those areas? By bike of course! Make your way through narrow alleyways, past colorful shops full of trinkets unknown to us and place your bike on a longtail boat to cross the Chao Phraya River.\u00a0All of a sudden you\u2019re in the middle of a green oasis<\/a>: the suburbs of Bangkok. This is so different compared to the busy city, it\u2019s unbelievable! Wonder into the countryside with your guide and you\u2019ll feel the jetlag sliding away from you.<\/p>\n
