When practicing bike tourism, there is the need of planning it and finding a proper place to sleep most of the times. As bike tourism has been developed over the last years, related businesses have also appeared. Focusing on accommodations, I have found the following in Spain (not exhaustive list). Surely, there would more in the country where you live.

As there are more and more bikers, bike tourism has increased over the last years. This alternative way of making tourism allows enjoying places from a calmer perspective, being in close contact with local populations in a higher degree and protecting environment in comparison with the traditional tourism. Even today the number of hotels prepared for bike tourism is still narrow because they were not built to taken into account bikers.

Some tips to make hotels biketourism friendly are the follows. These hotels have to have a specific space, indoor or outdoor, for bicycles. It should be large enough as to allow this way of transport plus the saddlebags. If outdoor, it has to be secure, i.e. be closed, have a robust, unique door wide enough for bikes and if possible CCTVs with banners to avoid thefts. The hall should be large in order to allow all bicyclers and their luggage since bike tourists can pedal in big groups. As for the room, it is enough to have a bed, a wardrobe and a bathroom. Not surprisingly, the bathroom should have a shower tray as taking a shower rejuvenate a body after pedaling many kilometers. It is advisable to count with a green area within the limits of the hotel for such bike tourists who prefer camping instead of sleeping in a room. Finally, the hotel menu should consist in energetic food due to the fact that bikers will burn the total calorie intake during the next bike tourism day.
