Visualizing a bicycle touring adventure

Just one page on the Impressions from bicycle travels web site.

Many web sites including this one try to explain bicycle touring. In many ways it is a very diificult task because bicycle touring is so many different things to so many different people. One common way to showcase bicycle touring is to scatter pictures from previous tours throughout the web pages. In this way you convey useful information about bicycle touring while also allowing people to get a glimpse of some of the incredible things you will see and experience during bicycle tours.

Typically web sites seem to be around 85% text and 15% pictures. This is great for conveying lots of meaningful information.

At least one web site is doing things a little bit differently. Their web site is 85% images and 15% text. The site's goal is to try to let you visualize the feeling of travelling by bike. The site is well designed with what felt like fast loading times to me.

The best part is that you can sit back in your chair and just watch the slideshow as the pictures change. You will see many beautiful pictures of places all over the world. If you go one step further and release your imagination then it won't take much to actually see yourself riding the roads and paths shown in the visual display.

The web site I am referring to is called Impressions from bicycle travels. Go ahead and make a visit. You might just be surprised at how enjoyable the site is and how well it conveys some of what bicycle touring is all about!

Once you've checked out the web site feel free to come back and obtain some more information from the Bicycle Touring 101 website about how to Get Started with your first bicycle touring adventure.
