Greetings From Suzie and Roger!
Your bicycle tour hosts,
Roger and Suzie Knable.
Our involvement in the cycling community began back in the 80's when we started leading rides for our local bike club and soonafter were elected into leadership of the 2,000 member organization. Also during this time, we found the delight in travel "on two wheels" logging thousands of miles traveling the world on our bicycles.
In our desire to share this experience with others we started to create and host cycling events and trips, and before we knew it, our volunteer efforts evolved into our labor of love-Bike and the Like!
Since then, we have conducted over 130 week-long tours, constantly fine-tuning to provide the most rewarding experience for our cyclists.
We have been a League of American Bicyclists Advocacy Group for over ten years and volunteer and raise money for cycling and environmental issues in the areas where we host tours. We are also members of the National Bicycle Tour Directors Association, which works to maintain higher standards in the bicycle touring industry.
Your Hosts and Ride Leaders
We host each trip (except for Holland Fall 2008 which is hosted by our friend, Francien Van der Lee) AND are your daily ride leaders; it's a privilege getting to know our cyclists personally and welcoming them into the Bike and the Like Family. Our greatest compliment is a kind referral from one of our satisfied cyclists, and even more, when our Bike and the Likers come back again to join us on another trip.
One of our aims in bicycle touring is to offer the most reasonable trip price possible that includes our personal hosting and great support, quality lodging, and most meals (and they're hearty!). Because Bike and the Like is our avocation and a small family-run business, we keep our overhead costs to a minimum and thus pass those savings on to you.
Our Approach to Bicycle Touring
"Nooks and crannies" - that's our approach to touring, and we try to create routes that entice cyclists to pace their day and stop to enjoy the sights.
We love motivating the recreational cyclist who aspires to get out there for their first weekend or multi-day tour!
It's a privilege getting to know our cyclists and welcoming them into the Bike and the Like family.
