- In cycling, it’s known as “hot foot” -- a burning pain in the ball of the foot, perhaps radiating toward the toes. Severe cases feel like some sadistic demon is applying a blowtorch.
- Hot foot occurs most often on long rides. It may develop sooner or more intensely on hilly courses because climbs cause greater pedaling pressure. The pain results when nerves are squeezed between the heads of each foot’s five long metatarsal bones. These heads are in the wide part of the foot (the “ball”) just behind the toes.
- My worst case of hot foot occurred on a 3,400-mile, 24-day transcontinental ride. With an average distance of 140 miles per day, no rest days and more than 100,000 feet of vertical gain, my dogs were smoking by the third week.
- My RBR partner, Ed Pavelka, remembers being in agony near the end of one 225-mile ride early in his long-distance career. It was his first experience with hot foot, and the problem plagued him that season until he changed to larger shoes. Feet always swell on long rides (more so in hot weather), causing pressure inside shoes that normally fit fine.
- “Hot foot” is actually a misnomer. It’s not heat but rather pressure on nerves that causes the burning sensation. You’ll sometimes see riders squirting water on their pups in a vain attempt to put out the fire.
- Besides tight shoes, another risk factor is small pedals, especially if you have large feet. Small pedal surfaces concentrate pressure on the ball of the foot instead of spreading it the way a larger pedal will. If your cycling shoes have flexible soles like most mountain bike shoes, they’ll be less able to diffuse pressure.
- Before Ed figured out his shoe-size problem, he tried to solve the pain with cortisone injections. That’s an unnecessary extreme in most cases -- and it’s not fun to have a doctor stick a needle between your toes. Here are several better solutions.
- Adjust shoe straps. It’s the top strap nearest your ankle that stops your feet from slopping around in your shoes. Tighten it as much as necessary, but keep the strap nearest your toes loose for maximum room.
- Use thinner insoles and/or socks. This will give your feet more room to swell without restriction, especially helpful if your shoes are borderline snug.
- Re-focus the pressure. Many riders solve hot foot by moving their cleats to the rear by as much as 8 mm. Long-distance enthusiast may go back as far as the cleat slots allow. They might even drill new rearward holes. After using this remedy, lower your saddle by the same amount if you moved your cleats backward 2-4 mm. If more than 4 mm, lower the saddle about half the amount. So, if your cleats go back 1 cm, put the saddle down 5 mm.
- Add metatarsal buttons. These foam domes are placed on insoles (or are built into them) just behind the ball of the foot. They spread the metatarsal bones so the nerves running between them aren’t pinched by pressure or swelling. You can find these products in the foot-care section of drug stores.
- Switch to larger pedals, for the reason mentioned above.
- Buy new shoes. Look for a model with a wider-and-higher toe box, a stiffer sole and an anatomical footbed with a metatarsal button. One model that meets these specs is the Specialized BG, with versions for road and off-road.
- Purchase custom orthotics. These plastic footbeds are supplied by podiatrists or sports medicine clinics. Among their biomechanical benefits are built-in metatarsal buttons. Be certain the practitioner understands you're a cyclist, because orthotics for runners are not what you need. Cycling is a forefoot activity, not a heel-strike activity.

What is a safe tour for our family? Family bike trips: do-it-yourself, or go the easy way, where all you have to do is ride your bikes; the tour operator carries your luggage, and organizes meals and lodgings. Special arrangements can be made for little kids.Most children love to ride a bicycle. The pace is fast and the scenery constantly changing. Little ones sit happily, fascinated from the vantage point of their bicycle seat or trailer. Older children enjoy the thrill and independence of riding on their own. Given the near universal appeal of bicycling as an inexpensive mode of transportation, plus its status as one of the most popular activities with children, a bicycle tour is an excellent choice for a family adventure.
The Advantages
Family bicycle touring can range anywhere from day outings to long-term trips. Some areas have designated bicycle paths, others country roads that lend themselves well to bicycle travel. Even in countries where large distances must be covered between areas of interest, most public buses and trains can accommodate bicycles for a small fee. With bicycles on an adventure, it's possible to explore a far greater area in an enjoyable, low-cost way than if you were solely dependent on walking or renting a vehicle. More than any other form of adventure travel, bicycling has the advantage of giving you an inside exposure to the places you are traveling through. In poor countries where bicycling is often the primary mode of transportation, traveling this way helps alleviate the disparity between your life-style and theirs. As a family on bicycles, shopping in local markets, eating local foods and traveling at a pace that matches that of the country you are in, you will be treated to a genuine hospitality that differs greatly from the normal relationship between tourist and local inhabitant.
In Morocco, during our two-month bicycle trip when our twins, Tristan and Colin, were nine, we camped for a few days in a small mountain village where local Berber children soon befriended us. As the village was also the site of a famous waterfall, a number of tourists were bused in daily and quickly targeted by the children as a source of money. When we asked the children why they didn't treat us in the same way, they assured us that we were their friends. The presence of our children and simple traveling life-style made them identify with us in a way they couldn't with the other tourists.
Bicycle touring with children is a surprisingly untapped source of travel. Despite the fact that nearly all children love to bicycle, few parents realize the potential to channel this enthusiasm into a family bicycle trip. Long-term travel with children is almost always done in a car or camper. Children (not to mention adults) easily become bored, frustrated and fractious when confined for hours of inactivity in a vehicle. On a bicycle children are too busy, too active and too visually stimulated to become bored or irritable. As constant participants rather than observers in the trip, their interest is continually aroused.
Children's Capabilities
Any child big enough to ride a ten-speed can go touring and carry full children's bicycle gear. Younger children are best off pulled in a trailer. Expect a child approximately nine years or up to cover an average of 40 to 50 kilometers a day, a pace that leaves plenty of time for breaks, sight-seeing and play after reaching your destination.
Although most children are avid bicyclers, be prepared for frequent stops. Children have a way of continually needing something: a drink, a snack, to go to the bathroom, to put clothes on, to take clothes off. Leave room in their handlebar packs for easy stowage of whatever items of clothing keep coming off and on. Another way to cut down on delays is to give each child his own water bottle, preferably the type mounted with velcro, an easy release mechanism. Mastering the art of taking a drink while underway is just the kind of challenge children like.
Despite all efforts on the parents' part, a certain amount of stopping is inevitable, as children have no sense of time. Ask them if they are thirsty and they will say no. Five minutes down the road they will insist they are thirsty.
"But I just asked you five minutes ago!" you'll exclaim.
"Well," they will say, "we weren't thirsty then."
Hills are always going to present the major stumbling block when it comes to keeping your children moving. Since nearly everywhere has hills, avoiding them is almost impossible. Even places that you could have sworn were flat as a pancake will reveal hidden inclines when viewed from the vantage point of a bicycle. Figure that any hill that looks big to you looks twice as big to a child. The key here is to get them up it fast by whatever means works best. Going down the other side is never a problem. Children have an insatiable lust for speed. To a certain extent the downhill ride on the other side can serve as sufficient motivation for getting your children up a hill, although eventually they will figure out that the time ratio is unequal. As an indignant Colin remarked one day, "It takes us half an hour to go up a hill and five minutes to go down. That means most of the time we're going up."
Traffic can also cause a temporary interference with your bicycle pace as well as your enjoyment. Biking in traffic is never fun and a child's interest in it will lag as fast as yours. Only once in our experience has the presence of traffic provided the stimulant to an otherwise dull ride. Bicycling down the breakdown lane on our way to the airport in Lisbon we lived out one of our wildest fantasies, passing miles and miles of bumper-to-bumper rush-hour traffic. Despite the number of cars, the situation was hardly hazardous, as we were the fastest thing moving.
Perhaps because of the fast pace, children on bicycles soon develop an adult sense of accomplishment in achieving a goal: reaching a destination, making it up a steep hill, covering a major distance. All these become as gratifying to them as to their parents and are a motivating factor on any bicycle tour. Getting your children excited about the day's bicycling should rarely be a problem and no matter how long the ride, they will rarely be too tired to play afterwards.
Making it Fun
It's the rare child that doesn't enjoy bicycling. How to prolong that natural enthusiasm to last four or five hours of continual bicycling with a fully loaded bike is not much cause for concern. With a little parental in-put, some well honed imaginative skills and a few entertainment devices, children should be able to stay happy during any bicycle trip.
Encourage imaginative play. Even when bicycling, children can devise much of their own entertainment.
Conversing and story telling are always popular pastimes, often sparked by the surroundings you are bicycling through.
Store a reading book, small toy and a ball in a child's handlebar pack for quick access during breaks.
Children can have a wonderful time during breaks or at the end of the day rolling your spare tires (if you carry them). Their proficiency at this old-fashioned game will amaze you.
Pick an interesting route; as always, children are most interested in a route through changeable scenery: farmland with animals, country towns, fishing villages, coastal roads along the ocean. Any route with a long downhill ride or series of small roller coaster hills will be greeted with excitement.
Play games like"finding things" or guessing what comes next or who can find a good picnic spot or somewhere to swim? Getting children to enter into the spirit of things goes a long way towards keeping them interested.
Children riding as passengers can be kept entertained much the same way they are in a car seat: with books, toys, food, taking a nap. If your child is right at that age when throwing things is at its pinnacle, choose one of the trailers with screening.
Pitalls to Avoid
Too fast a pace—Don't treat family touring like training for the Tour de France. Keep the pace relaxed even if one of you is a seasoned bicycler. Children will lose interest fast if continually told to speed up. Let them set the pace.
Too ambitious an itinerary—Even on a long bicycle tour, keep the focus on having fun rather than miles covered. On our 1,500 mile trip with nine-year-olds we took three months to cover the distance. We rarely bicycled on days when the weather conditions were poor or for too many days in a row. Any distance can be covered with children provided you leave sufficient time to make it relaxing instead of rushed.
Too few breaks—Keep the breaks short, but coming often. Breaks are natural to children. They take them all the time when playing, so incorporate as many as possible. Some can be short food or drink breaks, a few longer ones for play and picnics.
Overanxious parenting—Pick a safe route, teach them the rules of the road, then let them go. Children don't need to be over protected or continually told to be careful. Stop worrying about all the 'what ifs' (what if a car comes around that corner, what if they hit a rock halfway down that hill...). As our boys once said,"If you worried about all the 'what ifs' you'd never do anything!"
Starting too late—As with hiking, start early and end early. This capitalizes on a child's high energy level at the beginning of the day and need to play at the end.
Distances vary considerably. Depending on fitness, speed and the number of stops, the rider usually covers between 50–150 kilometres (30–90 mi) per day. A short tour over a few days may cover as little as 200 kilometres (120 mi) and a long tour may go right across a country or around the world.A group of self-supported bicycle tourists crossing Ohio.
There are many different types of bicycle touring:
Lightweight touring
Informally called credit-card touring, a rider carries a minimum of equipment and a lot of money. Overnight accommodation is in youth hostels, hotels, pensions or B&Bs. Food is bought at cafes, restaurants or markets.
Fully-loaded touring
Also known as self-supported touring, cyclists carry everything they need, including food, cooking equipment, and a tent for camping. Some cyclists minimize their load, carrying only basic supplies, food, and a Bivouac sack or lightweight tent.
Expedition touring
Cyclists travel extensively, often through developing nations or remote areas. The bicycle is loaded with food, spares, tools, and camping equipment so that the traveller is largely self-supporting.
Mixed Terrain Cycle-Touring
Also called rough riding, cyclists travel over a variety of surfaces and topography on a single route, with a single bicycle. Focusing on freedom of travel and efficiency over varied surfaces, cyclists often adopt an ultralight camping approach and carry their own minimal gear.
Supported touring
Cyclists are supported by a motor vehicle, which carries most equipment. This can be organized independently by groups of cyclists or commercial holiday companies. These companies sell places on guided tours, including booked lodging, luggage transfers, route planning and often meals and rental bikes.
Day touring
These rides vary highly in their size of the group (from solo cyclists, group rides, to large organized rides with hundreds to thousands of riders), in their length (from a few miles to Century rides of 100 miles — or longer), in their purpose (from riding for pleasure to raising money for a charitable organization) and in their methods of support (from self-supported day rides, to organized rides where cyclists pay for support or accommodations provided by event organizers — including rest and refreshment stops, marshalling to aid safety, and SAG service.

Persipan fisik yang matang dan kondisi sepeda yang fit tentunya menjadi hal pokok ketika kita bersepeda dimedan atau trek apapun baik flat trek (mendatar), descent (turunan) dan Climb (tanjakan).Para penggemar Road bike (sepeda balap) tentunya bersepeda dijalan aspal yang cenderung halus, tidak menuntup kemungkinan para rider MTB juga bersepeda dijalan aspal untuk Cross Country atau keseharian dalam bersepeda baik untuk bekerja, sekolah ataupun sekedar berolahraga (fitness).
Medan aspal lebih cenderung digemari para roadbiker sedangkan medan offroad lebih cenderung untuk rider MTB, tips dan trik apakah yang tepat mengatasi medan tanjakan (climb) baik untuk road biker ataupun rider MTB.
Penyesuaian suspensi, teknik shifting (gigi transmisi), posisi ketinggian seatpost dan posi badan sangat menentukan kenyamanan kita ketika melibas tanjakan.
Penyesuaian Suspensi :
Tips ini untuk para rider MTB terutama cross country (XC) baik untuk medan aspal maupun offroad ringan. Ketika menghadapi tanjakan usahakan kunci (lock) suspensi depan anda agar tidak bekerja naik – turun.
Tips ini dengan tujuan ketika menanjak dan anda berdiri diatas sadel (sadle) untuk melakukan kayuhan pedal yang kuat, energi dan tenaga anda tidak terbuang percuma karena suspensi depan yang naik turun.
Suspensi yang static membuat energi ketika kita mengayuh sepeda dengan berdiri benar-benar tersalurkan secara menyeluruh pada crank.
Untuk sepeda MTB yang tidak mempunyai sistem lock, sebaiknya rider tidak dalam posisi berdiri ketika mengayuh pada tanjakan.
Untuk roadbiker penyesuaian suspensi tidak perlu karena fork depan sepeda balap sudah static.
Teknik Shifting
Tips ini berlaku untuk rider MTB maupun Roadbiker, shifting atau yang lebih dikenal dengan pemindahan gigi transmisi tentunya sudah akrab bagi anda penggemar olah raga sepeda. Shifter biasnya terletak pada handle bar (stang kemudi) sepeda kita. Shifter adalah perangkat yang terhubung dengan FD (front deraileur) dan RD (rear derailleur), FD dan RD inilah yang bertugas memidahkan gigi (chainrings) baik depan maupun belakang.
Shifting yang benar pada saat tanjakan tentunya akan memberikan kenyamanan tersendiri bagi rider.
Untuk rider yang mempunyai power (tenaga) dan otot kaki yang kuat, tidak menjadi masalah menggunakan Chainring (gir) depan paling besar dan gir belakang paling kecil, karena shifting dengan model ini akan memberikan akselari maksimum pada saat kita menganyuh sepeda.
Untuk rider pemula shifting dengan menggunakan chainring (gir) depan paling kecil dan belakang paling besar, memberikan kenyamanan ketika mengayuh pedal. Konsekuensi teknik shifting seperti ini, sepeda berjalan pelan. Tips untuk teknik ini usakan untuk tidak berdiri diatas sadel akan tetapi percepat putaran kayuhan pedal rider.
Dengan berlatih dan kebiasaan bersepeda, kita akan menemukan sendiri kemampuan otot kaki kita ketika menghadapi medan tanjakan, semakin sering bersepeda dan berlatih ditanjakan rider dapat mengukur shifting pada gir berapa yang tepat untuk menghadapi climb trek.
Posisi ketinggian Seatpost dan Sadel (sadle)
Seatpost (dudukan sadel) tentunya tidak terpisahkan dengan sadel (tempat duduk rider). Energi dan tenaga rider ketika melewati trek menanjak (climb) banyak terkuras. Tips untuk pengaturan seatpost ketika melewati tanjakan adalah usakan seatpost pada posisi maksimum kayuhan rider.
Ukur panjang kaki rider dengan meteran dengan tujuan memperoleh hasil yang akurat, tarik meteran dari telapak kaki hingga pangkal selangka. Kemudian ukur panjang Crank leght (lengan crank), misal panjang kaki 75cm dan crank lengt 25cm total adalah 95cm.
Tarik keatas meteran dari poros BB (Buttom Bracket) hingga sadle, sesuaikan ketinggian sadle dengan ukuran yang sudah anda peroleh. Ukuran tersebut merupakan titik maksimum ketika kaki kita mengayuh sepeda.
Jika terasa kurang nyaman kurangi ketinggian seatpost, tetap diingat bahwa posisi kaki haruslah hampir lurus ketika anda naik diatas sadle dan telapak kaki dipedal arah pedal jam enam (180 derajat).
Tips pengaturan ketinggian seatpost tersebut bertujuan agar energi dan tenaga rider ketika menganyuh diatas sadle tidak terbuang percuma.
Posisi Rider (Berdiri dan Duduk)
Standing Up (berdiri)
Kelebihan :
- Otot kaki bekerja maksimal dan menyeluruh, tekanan tidak hanya pada satu otot.
- Diperlukan power yang besar, sehingga akselerasi pada saat tanjakan menjadi lebih mudah.
Kekurangan :
- Rider menggunakan lebih banyak energi, karena kaki menopang berat tubuh secara keseluruhan.
- Posisi berdiri ketika menanjak mengakibatkan rider tidak bisa berjalan pelan karena cenderung melakukan akselerasi cepat.
Sitting Down (Duduk)
Kelebihan :
- Posisi rider duduk diatas sadel tentunya membuat badan terasa lebih rileks (santai), karena energy tidak terkuras berlebih.
- Beban tubuh bertumpu pada sepeda bukan pada kaki, otomatis energy yang anda punya lebih hemat.
- Rider dapat mengatur ritme bersepeda, baik untuk akselerasi cepat maupun perlahan.
Kekurangan :
- Rider dapat merasakan sakit yang berulang-ulang pada satu otot ketika trek tanjakan.
Pada dasarnya posisi duduk ketika bersepeda di medan tanjakan lebih baik dibandingkan ketika kita berdiri, energi yang kita keluarkan lebih sedikit dibandingkan posisi berdiri (standing-up).
Ketika rider melewati tanjakan yang tinggi, rider dapat mengkombinasikan 2 metode tersebut.
Posisi berdiri yang singkat ketika tanjakan tajam dapat menaikan ritme kayuhan sepeda kita.
Fokuskan posisi berdiri kita ketika mengayuh pada putaran crank, tips ini dapat menjaga tubuh tetap santai.
Kondisi sepeda yang prima juga sangat menentukan kesukseskan kita ketika melibas trek tanjakan. Berikan pelumas pada bagian pedal dan crankset.
Untuk roadbiker posiskan lengan tangan pada handle bar bagian atas dan usahankan lengan tangan tetap pada posisi santai.
Untuk rider MTB dan Roadbiker yang menggunakan flat bar, anda dapat menambah aksesoris pada handle bar berupa Tanduk (Bar End). Fungsi Bar End lebih untuk kenyamanan rider ketika menanjak.

One of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, Bali for few years awarded as the world best island by The International Travel Magazine. There, however, are still many people who do not know in depth about the uniqueness of Balinese culture. Life in Bali is always related to "Tri Hita Karana" or a tripartite concept that include the spiritual relationship between human and God, and their environment.The rapid growth of development in tourism has had a big impact and influences to Bali tradition and lifestyle. Interestingly, Balinese culture is still as what it was, growing along with the of globalization. It is the Balinese civilization what makes the island different from other destination.HISTORY
Bali has a long chain of history from the ice-age era (pre-historic time) to modern, global civilization era. With a dynamic characteristic indicating selectivity and flexibility, the Balinese culture initially reflects a configuration of an expressive culture dominated by religious, solidarity and aesthetic values. Nowadays, it develops along with the adoption of foreign values especially in the aspects of the economic, science and technology, as a result of the global modernization.
In general, the history of Bali is divided into three different eras including the pre-historic, the Hindu-Buddhist era and the modern culture.
The pre-historic marked the oldest and simplest way of life, an era of hunting and food-stuff gathering, verified by the discovery of several tools and hunting equipments. In the following era there were also building construction system and a particular communication system. These were just proofs of the existence and further development of Balinese culture. The Balinese culture flourished that nowadays one can indicates a perfect bonds between religions, tradition and culture to become the identity of the Balinese community.
The Dutch seamen were the first Europeans to arrive on Bali and started to introduce western culture in 1597, though they hadn’t discovered any appealing aspect until 1800s. Around 1846 the Dutch returned with colonization in their minds, having established a strong political base as majority of the Indonesian islands were under their control since the 1700s. The military campaign embarked from the northern coast of Bali. With the help of Sasak people of Lombok, by 1911, all Balinese principalities were under the Dutch control.
The sense of Indonesian nationalism began to grow after the World War I, with the young generation declaring the national language in 1928, known as Bahasa Indonesia. During the height of World War II the Japanese arrived, expelling the Dutch and ruled the country for about 3.5 years, which ended later in 1945 when Indonesia declared independent led by its very first president, Sukarno. Yet the new-born nation was only recognized by the international community as an independent country in 1949.
