FAQs
We have compiled a list of most likely questions below, however should you have any further questions please contact Julie Plichon, Young Urbanist Steering Committee member and main organiser of the Cycle Tour on [email protected] or call on 07724312874.
How far will we be cycling per day?
Most days we would be doing short rides around Barcelona. We might travel one day up to 100km.
Is this some kind of competitive event?
No! It is a study tour. We are more interested in getting to see things than in getting there at the maximum rate.
Should I bring my own bike?
For this trip, we will be arranging bike hire in Barcelona and the cost of the hire will be included in the total cost of the tour.
If you really want to bring your own bicycle, please get it serviced before travelling.
I have a really great idea for something that we should see/do in Barcelona nearby!
Please share it with Julie. We want everyone to get as much out of the tour as possible. If you have background knowledge which you think would be useful, please e-mail us and we can see about adding it to the itinerary.
What about insurance?
Please ensure that you have purchased adequate travel insurance. The Academy of Urbanism does not take responsibility for any injuries or accidents that occur on the trip, so you will be responsible for your own health and safety.
