May 2026 Cycle Touring Photos

Photos from my bicycle touring exploits around the world, which I’ve added to the website over the past month (May 2026). This month’s photos come from bicycle tours in France, Spain, the USA, Australia and Italy.

Once again, there’s no Flickr photo album this month as I’m still not back on the bike. But now I’ve had my hip done, and am starting to get around a bit again, although I’m still not allowed to cycle for another month. I might start to use public transport so I can get a little further afield.

You can also find photos on my social media channels: Facebook, Threads, Instagram, and Pinterest, which you can view without subscribing. But if you already subscribe to social media, why not give me a follow, and follow me as I travel around on my bike?

Bicycle Touring Spain: Penafiel To Segovia On This Day 8th May 2015 | Travelsonabike2

On This Day 2015: Cycling Penafiel to Segovia, Spain

My on this day bicycle touring blog post comes from Spain on the 8th of May 2015. An idea from this trip that could be even more pertinent now.

Friday 8th May 2015. Penafiel to Segovia. 55 miles.

It’s been a hard and pretty boring ride today. It’s just been open fields with nothing to see. And to make things worse, I’ve been struggling against a very strong wind. I also got some sad news today about a friend who was involved in a fatal car accident. He’s currently in a hospital in London. Hopefully, he’ll make a full recovery. My thoughts are with the family from the other vehicle that lost somebody in the crash.

I met a nice Dutch couple last night who invited me over for a beer, which is always a good start to the evening. He’s cycling, and she’s driving with a caravan. So he never has to carry any luggage, and when he arrives at the campsite, she’s already there with everything set up and waiting for him. Then in the morning, he just jumps on his bike and off he goes, leaving her to pack away. Now I like the sound of that, Julie, take note, it could be the way forward!!

Bicycle Touring Spain: Premia de Mar to Figueres On This Day 17th April 2011 | Travelsonabike2

Cycling Spain on this Day in 2011

My on this day bicycle touring blog post comes from Spain on the 17th of April 2011. A short tour before my big ride later in the year, cycling to Australia. I wanted to try out a few things before I left for Australia. A fun day playing one of my favourite games, it always helps the miles go by.

Sunday 17th April 2011. Premia de Mar to Figueres. 76 miles.

I thought I was going to make France today. But the last 15 or so miles would have been tough going; there’s a strong headwind, and there’s the small matter of crossing the Pyrenees mountains. It’s already been quite a tough ride today. So I thought it best to have one more night in Spain and tackle the mountains with fresh legs in the morning.

I’ve seen loads of prostitutes along the side of the road again today, so I was playing my favourite game of trying to get a photo of them without getting caught. I failed once again. But it makes the miles go by quickly and gives me a laugh. The town I’m staying in tonight is the birthplace of Salvador Dali.
