Cycling is a fantastic way of moving from one place to another. Compared to travelling by motor car, cycling might be a bit slow, but it helps you stay in good shape. If you want to explore the very best of what Israel has to offer and spend some quality time on your journey, you should definitely take part in a cycling trip.
The Israel National Trail, also known as the Israel End-to-End Bike
Trail, was created in 1997. It begins at Mount Hermon, the northernmost point
of the country, and extends as far as the Gulf of Eilat, which is in the
southernmost point of the land of Israel. The trail has an overall length of
around 850 km, and is perfectly designed for cyclists.

If you are cycling in a group, you are going to have a great deal
of fun. The ride often gets steep, so make sure that you have a properly
maintained bike. Before you leave on your cycling trip, here are a few tips
that you should keep in mind to help prepare yourself for the journey.
Tips for Preparation
Cycling trips are generally designed for people who are in good physical
shape. Make sure that you are fit enough to cycle long distances. It’s also
important that you carry enough water with you. As you will be cycling over
different types of terrains, it’s highly recommended that you ride a hybrid
bike.
Make sure you also carefully check the trail that you will be following. A guide will usually be accompanying you as well, so you should talk to him or her about the breaks that you will be taking, and obtain any other information that you might require before getting started. Keep these basic things in mind to ensure that your cycling trip goes without a hitch.
