Let’s face it, one of the best things about motorhoming is the fact that you can get out and about and see the very best of the UK – and the rest of Europe – with ease.
But one of the downsides is that motorhomes are big and often tricky to park: it’s not always simple to visit the remote locations and attractions that you’d be able to if you were in a car.
However, there is a straightforward solution, and it’s one that’s fun, good for the environment and will save you fuel – and that’s to take a bike with you on tour.
The right bike for every motorhomer
Of course, you’ll want it to be compact and light in weight, so it’s easy to store or stow on a rack – and that’s where online bike experts Tredz comes in.
