Cycling slowly is an act of respect.
Respect for the places we pass through, for the people we meet, and for the natural rhythm of things. A bicycle is not just the most sustainable means of transport there is—it is a philosophy of travel. It is the choice of those who truly want to see, not just pass by.
Jonas has been organizing cycling holidays for almost 40 years. We rent bicycles from local partners instead of transporting them from Italy: less impact, more benefit for the local economy. Sustainability is not a slogan—it is a chain of concrete choices, recognized by the Travelife Partner certification (on the path toward the Certified level) and by the Green Heroes network of Kyoto Club. We have participated in the European project First Mile with AITR and are extending this approach to all of our holidays.
By bike, on foot, by boat, on horseback, or on the snow: every way of moving slowly is a way of respecting the world we travel through.
