The popularity of cycling is due to several factors. First, compared to hiking, cycling can be overcome by considerable distances. Secondly, compared to the journey by car, you do not need to spend money on fuel. How much does the bike trip, for example, for a month?
The first thing you need to worry about before departing in a bike, this is a spacious backpack. It should fit everything you need: tent, food, water, sleeping bag, rug, dishes, burner and other gear. Also in the campaign you will definitely need to take a pump, helmet, repair kit, spare chambers and needles. Clothing depends on the time of year. It is advisable to take bicycle products - to go to them will be more comfortable. Optimal time for cycling - spring or early autumn.
The average value of the listed things (in Russian rubles):
- Backpack - 3500;
- Tent - 6500;
- Sleeping bag - 1500;
- Rug - 700;
- pump - 1500;
- Burner (with a gas cylinder) - 1000;
- dishes - 1000;
- Spare Camera and Remkomplekt - 500.
Spare chambers are better to take at least two. The total cost of this gear is 16,200 rubles. Need more money for food and water. It is advisable to buy food and water in network supermarkets - it is cheaper there. Water, of course, can be recruited at gas stations and in water bodies, as some travelers (and video blocks) do. But, it is better not to risk. And then you will need to spend money on medicines. On average, for one day, about 500 rubles will leave for food and drinks (economy). That is, for a month - about 15,000 rubles.
The bicyclers will have to spend from 700 to 2000 rubles. Also worth bothering about comfortable shoes. The optimal version is sneakers or trekking boots. It will take about 4,000 rubles.
It is still worth thinking how you will pass the planned route - only by bike or a certain part in transport (car, train, etc.). In the second case, you will have to take money on the passage. As a result, it turns out that there will be about 36,000 rubles for a monthly bike (excluding money for public transport).
