The first time I went to The Netherlands, I was astonished by how many bikes were whizzing by on the streets of Amsterdam! Young and old alike, everyone had a bike. It didn’t take long for me to join in on the fun. It turned out, riding a bike was the best and most efficient way to get around and enjoy the city.

Check out the B1 lesson, “I travelled through Europe by bike” and tell us how you travel in different countries. ­­

I usually travel on foot but cycling is a good way to get around and it's faster

I wonder if there are any differences in cycle culture from one place to another. Have you noticed any? What countries have you cycled in?

The first time a trip was an unforgettable adventure for me, it was when I traveled alone to Germany to share 22 days with 19 European students.
It was a lot of fun, I didn't have the opportunity to ride a bike, but I did get to ride a plane, train, climb mountains on foot and even go canoeing, as well as learning a lot about the country's history and making great friends.
For me it was one of the most enriching experiences of my life.

HELLO
First of all, thank you for this tutorial.

I love going on sightseeing tours in between. So, whenever we want to stop, we stop there. Last summer, I had trips to Bursa, Canakkale, Izmir, Burdur, Antalya, and they were all very nice. We discovered various natural beauties and cultural beauties with my family. I invite you to visit Turkey, too.
thank you bye

Thank you for sharing Aysegül! I can imagine you love going on sightseeing tours and visiting multiple places! Do you have a favourite memory from a sightseeing tour you've done in the past that you can share with us? :-)

I'm also a keen cyclist. Having grown up in a mountainous area, riding our bikes to school was something we did from a young age. If I get the opportunity to travel in South Korea, trying out their subway is definitely on my list – it looks so intriguing.
