Start your cycling holiday well prepared

Good preparation is essential for a successful cycling holiday. That is why Travel2Move offers a complete printable packing list in PDF format. This checklist has been specially created for cyclists who want to travel comfortably, safely and without stress. It is suitable for cycling holidays in Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and across Europe, and includes both essential items and useful extras for e-bike travellers.

A major advantage of travelling with Travel2Move is that luggage transport is included in almost all of our trips. This gives you maximum freedom: each day you cycle with only a light day bag, while your main luggage is transferred to your next accommodation. That way, you can save your energy for what really matters: enjoying nature, peace and beautiful cycling routes.
