This was a truly wonderful experience

This was a truly wonderful experience, between sailing and biking. The staff was great on all levels, particularly as I was the only native English-speaker (with no German or Dutch, despiite French and Spanish ;-), and the only person travelling alone. The only concern I voice on a self-guided tour is that people should either be given the basic bike tools (aside from tire repair), or told to bring their own. It so happened that the bike rented had two issues during a ride (screws that needed tightening, making it impossible to continue), and while we managed to find people in a small town with tools, the difficulty could have been avoided had the bike been carefully checked before renting. Tools, in any case, would be a good idea.
