• Equipment and preparation

Suitable equipment: We recommend that you make sure you have the right equipment. This includes a robust bicycle with spare parts and tools. For example, think about tire repair kits, multitools and spare tubes. You should also not forget things like a helmet, a rain jacket, a first-aid kit, glasses and similar items.

You can find some bicycle repair shops in the major cities of Georgia:

Tbilisi

• Hippo Velo
• Georiders

Kutaisi

• Zura’s Bike Shop
• Bike Rooms

Rustavi

• Bike Korner

Weather conditions: The weather can vary, so we recommend packing suitable clothing. It can be cool in the mountains, so please remember to dress appropriately warm.

Accommodation: We recommend that you plan your accommodation in advance. There are so many options, from hotels to cosy inns. However, in rural areas, the selection can be somewhat limited. We would be happy to help you find something.

Water and food: We would like to point out that it is highly recommended to carry enough water, especially on longer trips through remote areas. In mountainous regions, you may find springs with drinking water.

We also recommend that you have tasty snacks or easily transportable food with you. This way, you are well prepared in case there are no shops in remote areas.

Maps and GPS: Take a detailed map or GPS with you, as some regions of Georgia are not well signposted..

Plan your route: It’s best to think about which route you would like to take and which places you want to visit in advance. There are many different routes in Georgia, both in the mountains and in the cities. If you need help with planning, we will be happy to help.

• Safety

Helmet: Please always wear a helmet and pay attention to the traffic. In the cities, traffic can be quite chaotic. Therefore, it is important that you are particularly careful.

Traffic rules: The traffic rules in Georgia are not that simple. Drive defensively and pay attention to other road users.

Road conditions: Although this is not always perceived, some roads are in poor condition, especially in remote areas or in the mountains. Please drive carefully and adjust your speed accordingly.

Street dogs: There are many street dogs in Georgia. They are usually not aggressive, but sometimes they react uneasily to cyclists. It is good to have a few pieces of bread with you for them.

This lets them know that you are not a threat. If necessary, you should get off your bike and push it about 20-30 metres to keep your distance.

Local and cultural aspects

Respect the culture: Georgia has many traditions and culture. Respect the culture and customs of the country, especially in the countryside.

Hospitality: Georgians are known for their extremely warm hospitality. Be open to interacting and talking to the locals, as it can be a great way to get to know the culture better.

Food and drink: Be sure to try the local cuisine and Georgian wines. Guesthouses along the routes often offer delicious dishes.

Currency: The currency in Georgia is the Georgian lari. Make sure you have enough cash with you, as credit cards are not accepted everywhere.

Language: Georgian is the official language and not everyone speaks English. It can be helpful to learn some basic Georgian phrases.
