Long distance cycle route

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term long-distance cycle route is used to typify routes (routes) in general and cycle routes in more detail. It should qualitatively distinguish longer cycle routes, which usually only have to be mastered in several daily stages, from shorter ones. There is usually no clear delimitation.

The term is linguistically vague , is often determined in more detail by the context and the clientele using it and can lead to a dispute due to individually differing views. For example, for some cyclists, cycle routes of 60 km or more may already be part of the long- distance cycle routes , but certainly those that are longer than 80 km. Those who cover such distances on a daily basis, on the other hand, will set the threshold far higher from which a route counts as a long- distance cycle route.

The vagueness disappears and U., if the term establishes itself as part of a proper name, for example through the definition or use of a tourist office in connection with the marketing of a route of a certain length, cf. the hypothetical long-distance cycle route Berlin-Vienna .

Proofs of use of the term are u. a. can be found on the website of the National Cycling Plan.
