Credit Card Touring

Photo: Roughing it at the Jasper Park Lodge, Jasper, Alberta.

Credit card touring is a pleasure that should not be overlooked. All that is required is a tandem, a couple of panniers and a credit card. Credit card tourists stay in hotels each night and forget about camping and cooking. Credit card touring can be a definite spouse-pleaser, especially in cold weather.

Credit card touring is a very attractive shoulder-season and off-season propostion because hotels are cheaper during those periods. Please be kind to the hôtelier and park your bike away from the white broadloom.
