Bicycle trip vs Motorcycle trip | Expenses Comparison
Hi fellas,
I am considering to start traveling on a push bike and at first i thought this was a stupid question to ask: a cycling trip must be cheaper than a motorcycle trip.
Or not?
A bike is surely cheaper than a motorcycle, which also requires an insurance, fuel, possibly the carnet and so on. Moreover, the motorcycle is more expensive to be shipped and has more spare parts to care of.
However, traveling the same distance with a bicycle will take longer, which means more money for accommodation (unless camping), more water and food needed. This may also end upon more visa extensions = more $.
Long story short, I am not sure anymore that traveling on a motorcycle is always cheaper than with a push bike, so I ask you more seasoned travellers.
Did any of you try to cover more or less the same distance both by motorcycle and bicycle?
How do the two means of transport compare in terms of expenses?
Cheers!
