Bicycle touring visitors in Peninsula

More bicycle touring visitors have been passing through our stores here in the Northeast Ohio area lately! Above is Rita, who is from Philadelphia, and stopped by the Peninsula store on July 10 during a ride around the Great Lakes.

Rob Hatfield stopped by the Peninsula store to say Hi before catching a train to Banff, Alberta to ride his Salsa Fargo on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route.

What makes these folks able to head out on a long-distance bike tour, sometimes on their own? It starts with a desire, something on your bucket list. Another thing is overcoming your fears, and to help with that, the folks at Adventure Junkies put together a list of the 11 Fears Bicycle Tourists Face & How to Overcome Them.
