What our customers ask about this tour

Louis
Asked on April 7th, 2025I see that you use Trek FX 3 Hybrids bikes. The average daily distance is 30 miles. I'm wondering what the average elevation gain is per day and also what size rear cassette do the bikes have. These answers will help me determine whether or not I rent an ebike.
The Chain Gang Cycle ToursOperator•Written April 2025The answer to your question is 34 teeth. The lowest gear is 26 x 34. Our Provence tour has a couple of days of 'proper hills', especially when we get into the Lubéron National Park. With low gearing, we have all day, and our guide cycles with the group.

Traveler•Written April 2025I'm looking at your Tuscany tour. The Tuscany is much more challenging. I'll be 77 at the time of the tour but I did cycle the islands of Croatia last year where I did over 100 ft of elevation per mile. Any words of advice?
- The Chain Gang Cycle ToursOperator•Written April 2025
I measure the difficulty of our tours by whether you exercise regularly. If a 30 mile bike ride, or a 3 mile run, or 1Km swim all sound unscary, then relax. If that sounds scary, choose an e-bike. If you're in good shape, relax. More people on our Italian tours choose e-bikes. In Provence, there's only a couple of days of real hills, and we can just walk any really tough sections.

Asked on August 15th, 2024Would you have 1 ebike available to rent?
- The Chain Gang Cycle ToursOperator•Written August 2024
Yes we could make an e-bike available. We charge a supplement of £150 for using an e-bike. There's just one rule - when we cycle up the Col des Trios Thermes, in the Lubéron, you're not allowed to laugh!

Debbie
Traveler•Written August 2024Hard decision between Provence bike only and Rhône boat and bike trip. Any thoughts?
- The Chain Gang Cycle ToursOperator•Written August 2024
With a barge tour, you're a bit too restricted by which waterway your barge is on. Good friends like bike and barge trips. I think our itineraries are the best, that's where we put our focus, and have done since 1997. The beauty of bikes is how groups explore together and become friends.
