Top 10 reasons you know you’re CYCLING in the Canary Islands:
Posted on agosto 8th, 2007 leslie dean brown
- You only ever seem to wear out two gears in your rear sprocket: the 25T and the 12T.
- You realise that you need to replace your brake pads again, but you only changed them less than 6 months ago.
- The only other bike frames you see are one of the following brands: Orbea, Decathlon, Giant, Scott, Specialised, diTec or Goka.
- You’re riding within a 10km radius of the Parador Hotel at Altitude and you see professional cycling teams training for the Tour de France.
- You’re climbing somewhere and people start cheering you and yelling «VENGA!» on the side of the roads.
- You’ve climbed 1000m already, you can see the Atlantic ocean, and there’s still 1300m to go.
- You suddenly have to manouvre around a goat-herd.
- You’ve only cycled 100km at the end of the day, but you feel like you’ve cycled twice that amount.
- You’re cycling through La Orotava, and some crazy guy in thongs starts chasing you to hand out a www.Tenerife-Training.net business card.
- You see hard-core downhill bikes in every bike shop which actually get used for more than street-curb-jumping.

Venga basically means «C’Mon, hurry up!»
Vamos means «Let’s go!»
