Why Bosnia
Why Bosnia and Herzegovina for cycling tourists
A cycling holiday in Bosnia and Herzegovina means trails close to the city, mountains within reach and a bike service that is there if something goes wrong. Sarajevo and East Sarajevo make a good base: Trebević, Igman and Bjelašnica are all nearby, and the Ćirina pruga is an easy green ride.

Before your trip: check your bike
A cycling holiday in Bosnia and Herzegovina starts at home, and the cheapest fault is the one found before departure. Check your brakes, drivetrain, tyres and suspension. If you travel a long way, you can also have the bike checked with us on your first day, before you head out on the trail.

The vehicle carries up to 2 bikes and up to 2 riders, so your group is not stranded on the trail.

What to do when your bike fails on the road
Even a well-prepared cycling holiday in Bosnia and Herzegovina can bring a flat tyre or a broken chain. Four steps keep a small fault from ruining the day.
Step 1
Stop and assess
Move off the road or trail, check the fault and do not force a damaged part.
Step 2
Send location and photo
Message +387 66 902 418 on Viber or WhatsApp with your Live Location and a photo of the fault.
Step 3
Mobile mechanic or workshop
The mechanic comes to you, or you bring the bike to the workshop in Vojkovići if the area is outside the service zone.
Step 4
Get back on the bike
After the repair, agree whether a full check is needed before the next stage of your trip.
