Did you know all of our bike tours come with *FREE* emergency SAG service?

If you’re ever in a bind on the trail, then call your Tour Specialist and they will get you fixed up or picked up!

Unlike our competitors, we don’t tell you to “call the local guys”, we are the local guys! And if you’re on a trail where we don’t have a van yet, then we will arrange the SAG service for you.

Our cyclists, Michael and Molly, were in good spirits even with a slow start and enjoyed their evening in Windsor at Kim's Cabins, LLC.

As expected, Prince Edward Island has sold out for the rest of the year. You might want to get an early booking for 2023 before it sells out again.

After a lifetime of cycling the world, Henry and Sandy started Independent Tourist Cycling Vacations nearly twenty years ago. The trials and triumphs of their many adventures have been carefully curated into their personal favorites.

With the second and third generation of family owners leading the company, Independent Tourist Cycling Vacations continues to provide excellent cyclist support and service for the best possible Rails-to-Trails experience.

After five years in development and another generation of experience, we've added the breathtaking Mickelson Trail in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota.
