A ten speed mountain bike is provided for each student. During the day students stop frequently to visit villages, schools, factories and to take pictures of points of interest. Evening accommodations are in modern China Travel Service Hotels. Safety is always of primary importance. Students are required to attend three pre-trip conditioning rides where we work on safety and proper bike usage.
Helmets are compulsory for all cyclists.
Each group is led by staff who have prior experience on the roads that we will be using. There is one adult supervi sor for each 5-6 students. The parent supervisors are trained in proper group riding procedures. A nurse also accompanies each biking group. The bus and lorry are used to carry the luggage and transport the whole group if we encounter unfavorable biking conditions.
