For beginners

If you already use a bicycle on a daily basis, you should certainly make use of one on your trip as well. You can enjoy exploring out of the way places that you would normally pass by in a car or by train, and need not worry about train and bus time tables. Bicycles give you great mobility, so you can enjoy your trip efficiently.

The number of places you want to visit often goes up when you travel with your partner or close friend. The bicycle is the perfect ride for making sure your appetite for sightseeing is satiated. There are places to rent bicycles throughout Ehime prefecture, and particularly on the islands along the Shimanami Kaido. You can combine bicycles with other forms of transportation, such as trains, buses, and ferries, to extend your trip to those out of the way places not normally visited.

Why not add some cycling to your family trip?　Roads in Ehime Prefecture feature a blue line on the side to mark dedicated bicycle lanes, so you can ride safely without getting lost. While you need to pace yourselves according to the distance you want to travel, the sense of achievement you will have when your family reaches the goal together is sure to make for a vacation memory you will never forget.
