BIKING CONDITIONS
We ride our bicycles over cobles and tarmac, a bit of gravel can be expected as well.
Flatland hardly exists in Bulgaria, so make sure you are prepared to go up and down all day.
You can expect a lot of sunshine from April to October, The country has beautiful, diverse, and - on certain spots - intact nature. Along our bike trips, we are always dedicated to preserving it as clean and untouched as this depends on our group.
Most participants bring their own bicycles. Airline companies offer options to check in your bike for a fee. The bicycle needs to be stored in a bike suitcase or box, in order to be protected during travel. For more information, cost, and requirements, please refer to the website of the airline companies.
Bicycle rental is also available. You can request a bike in your registration form. The Wheel Crew charges EUR 25 per day per bike. In order to provide you with the best-fitting bike, please specify your bicycle size of your preference, and inform us whether you want to bring your own pedals and seat.

INSURANCE AND MEDICAL HELP
Insurance and medical support, other than emergency help (trauma, incident, allergic or chronicle condition outburst, etc) is not part of our packages. We recommend that you make arrangements with your insurer in case you deem it necessary.
If you are an EU citizen, during your stay in Bulgaria, including during your bike trip, emergency medical help is ensured under your European Insurance Health Card, the EIHC (more information here). If you do not have EIHC, we strongly recommend that you issue yourself one. You can contact your insurer for more information.
The EIHC does not cover planned treatments abroad (only medically necessary healthcare) and does not cover private healthcare or repatriation. In case of an emergency, the healthcare provider will provide treatment and then will claim the medical expenses with your current health insurance company or health service. The insurance company or health service determines which costs are to be reimbursed and if any excess costs are applicable.
If you are a non-EU citizen, the medical expenses for any treatment, including an emergency one, will be claimed by you directly as per the price list of the healthcare provider.
The TWC team will provide you with logistical and translation support in case of a medical emergency.
