Adventure cycling is a form of cycling that combines the thrill of exploration with the challenge of long-distance travel. Cyclists often ride through diverse terrains, including mountains, forests, and rural areas, while carrying their gear on specially designed bicycles. This activity allows individuals to experience nature and discover new places at their own pace. Many adventure cyclists participate in organized events or tours, such as the Tour Divide or Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. These routes often feature scenic landscapes and can vary in difficulty, making adventure cycling accessible to a wide range of skill levels.
