    True, but the energy expended is by the horse or e-bike primarily. I don't think that taking care of the horse was factored into the distance requirement any more than care of a bicycle for 200km. If a disabled person (or any other) can ride a...

    My impression reading through this thread is that there is an abundance of overthinking, analyzing, and loophole nitpicking of the text. The bicycle criteria for a Compostela for religious and spiritual reasons has always been 200 km. The...

    I don't know how much I care about getting the credentials. However, my humble opinion, as an ebike user who had previously planned to do a camino with an emtb, is as follows: 1) the norm is unclear. Theoretically it could be interpreted as a...

    Having discussed removing e-bikes from the camino routes, has anybody (apart from Kathar1na) recognised that the EV3 (EuroVelo3) shares much of the camino route to Compostela from Scandinavia. The countries that maintain the EV3 gain support via...

    I love heated debates about arbitrary criteria on a completely artificial construct. It all began with a pilgrimage to the alleged tomb of an Apostle. Now you cannot touch the Tree of Jesse after 800 years of fingers and body oil (it won't...
