winter vacation of a different kind

For residents of some provinces, the winter holidays are over, but most of us are still looking forward to our days off and planning how to best use them. Unfortunately, in times of rising prices, not everyone can afford to travel far or practice popular winter sports such as skiing or snowboarding. If you are looking for a new way to enjoy your free time in winter, this article is for you!

The options are different for everyone. For some people, a winter holiday without skiing on the slopes is unimaginable. However, ski lift ticket prices can be staggering, and as inflation and energy prices rise, so do accommodation and food prices.

Those who prefer a warmer climate and travel to warmer countries for the winter holidays may also have to change their plans. The price for trips in 2023 has even increased by more than €200 compared to the previous year.

So how can you make the most of your free time and stay active while relaxing? Choose a tour by electric bike!

• save money

Active leisure activities do not have to involve large expenses. You will need your bike and accessories such as a helmet and suitable clothing to protect yourself from the cold and wet, which is a big expense. However, they are reusable items that you can use for years. Cycle paths, forest paths and unpaved roads are available free of charge - unlike in ski areas. Plus, you can enjoy cycling anywhere, even where you live. If your bike is an e-bike, an electric bike will allow you to cover more miles in one ride. You will reach new places. You will be surprised to discover landscapes you have never seen before. You don't have to spend your money on trips to popular destinations, overnight stays and dining out. With an e-bike, fantastic adventures are within reach!

• Alone or in company?

Cycling is not only a team sport, but also something for people who long for peace and relaxation. Whether you ride alone or invite your friends to ride with you is up to you.

Riding alone on challenging mountain trails is the perfect time to calm the mind, relieve stress and enjoy the silence, broken only by the sound of the wind and the songs of birds. In winter you don't meet many other hikers on the forest paths. On a bike tour you may find the peace and quiet that skiing on crowded slopes cannot offer, which also applies to the many minutes you spend waiting in line at the ski lifts.

Cycling tours are also great fun for families. You can also involve your parents. All you need is an electric bike to tackle the next few miles of the journey. The ability to choose the right level of support ensures that they can easily keep up with their children and grandchildren. Traveling together as a family brings you closer together and ensures you have a great time. Afterwards, the grandparents will definitely feel even more loved and needed. Choose a bike with a low frame such as the JOBOBIKE SAM, JOBOBIKE LINDA or JOBOBIKE LYON that is suitable for older people.

• Open to new things

We know that it is not easy to change your habits and plans. However, with prices rising, this may be necessary for many of us. We hope we have convinced you that investing in a good electric bike and using your free time to cycle during the winter holidays is a good alternative to the popular winter sports and holidays abroad. Embark on the new experience of using a modern e-bike and we guarantee that you will spend your free time with a smile on your face and extra positive energy. See you on the bike path!
