 For immediate release

For a cycling enthusiast, little beats seeing Provence from the seat of a bike. Up until now, you had only two options for your cycling trip: organizing your own tour, which is time-consuming and means you carry your own luggage, or buying an expensive, full-supported tour with no flexibility for your vacation dates. France-based Cyclomundo has the solution: Self-guided tours.

Cyclomundo's self-guided tours provide cyclists with daily accommodations, meals, luggage transfers, maps and route notes. Tours can start any date at riders' discretion and they can be booked at short notice based on hotels' availability. No more daily loading and unloading of pounds of luggage of a self-organized tour, or the cost and the lack of flexibility of a full-supported tour.

Cyclomundo offers a wide selection of self-guided tours in Provence. Most start from Avignon, a mere 2 ½ hour ride on the TGV, France's high speed train, from Paris. The tour is designed to show riders all the facets of the beautiful French countryside - it's like riding into a different Impressionist painting every day! Trips can be planned anytime April through October.

Focusing on Peter Mayle's Luberon, Van Gogh's Alpilles, and other fascinating areas of Provence, Cyclomundo's tours are designed for virtually anyone: individuals, couples, families and small groups are sure to find a trip that will exceed their expectations.

One popular tour, "Provence with Youngsters" takes families on a discovery tour of the Luberon and Camargue. The bike route takes care to lead cyclists down very quiet roads, and daily mileage does not exceed 20 miles. This 8-day package is priced at 758 Euros per person, based on double occupancy. Triple and quadruple rooms are available for families with young children.

For food lovers, "Gastronomic Provence" focuses on the region's culinary heritage and local specialties. Visits to local producers of cheeses, liquors, and bakeries are on the menu. This 8-day package is priced at 650 Euros per person based on double occupancy.

Other 8-day vacations include "Biking through Luberon" a wonderful trip through breathtaking sceneries and quaint villages made famous by Peter Mayle's "A Year In Provence," and "Famous Villages in Luberon, Apilles, and Côtes du Rhône," a popular trip that encompasses all Provence's must-see sites. Different standards of accommodations are available for these trips. Prices range from 688 to 962 Euros per person, based on double occupancy.

Shorter trips include "Biking in the Arles Countryside", a 6-day ride that takes riders to magnificent historical sites such as Avignon, Pont du Gard, and Arles. This package is priced at 479 Euros per person, based on double occupancy. . An even shorter trip is the 4-day Alpilles tour that takes riders through this small mountain range and dozens of interesting spots, including Les Baux, Saint Remy de Provence, Fontvielle, and Tarascon. This package is priced at 430 Euros per person, based on double occupancy.

For all self-guided tours, Cyclomundo can arrange rentals of hybrid bikes, extension bikes or bicycle trailers for children. Details on these trips can be viewed on Cyclomundo's website at www.cyclomundo.com. Cyclomundo can be reached at 800-520-VELO or at info@cyclomundo.com
