HANNOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Just in time for the Ascension Day and Whitsun, rising temperatures and sunny spring weather are encouraging bikers to cruise to exciting and beautiful corners of the world - bikers are now in the starting blocks to get on the road as soon as possible. As an inspiration for a motorbike journey destination it’s worth taking a look at the results of the “Bikers’ Summer 2015”, the competition and survey by Moto-tyres.co.uk concerning the most popular goals and longest trips of the previous year. The survey was carried out by Delticom AG (FWB:DEX), Europe’s leading internet tyre dealer and its online shops with motorcycle tyres and accessories in nine European countries. More than 1,200 motorcycle fans answered three questions about their longest trip, their destination and the frequency of their motorcycle rides in the summer. There were prizes worth 1,500 Euro to win: vouchers for motorcycle tyres, a motorcycle satellite navigation system and a GoPro camera including a helmet holder.
A look at the trips in 2015 shows that bikers are never at a loss for ideas, no goal is too far for them, and they don’t avoid exotic places. All in all, the participants rode more than a million kilometres, which gave an average of 800 kilometres per person during the main season. The most popular destination in the biker summer 2015 was France (12%). The favourites here were, for example, routes along the Côte d’Azur, through the French Alps or the Pyrenees. France was closely followed by Germany and Italy (11% each) as well as Spain (10%). Here, the “classic” destinations such as the Black Forest or the Harz were on the programme, just as the Dolomites, Lake Garda or Andalusia. Cross-country trips or even trips across several countries were extremely popular, just as visits to islands. A quarter (26%) of the bikers mentioned exotic destinations such as Kenya, Tanzania, Malaysia or Australia. One additional finding: it is also apparent that motorcycle fans do not miss any opportunity to get on their machines. Almost half of those who took part in the survey said they had been on the road on two wheels more than 30 times in the summer.
“The survey has brought interesting findings with excellent examples. This demonstrates that for passionate bikers the journey itself is the reward and that’s why they tend to get very creative”, summarises Oliver Pflaum motorcycle specialist from Moto-tyres.co.uk. “The results also confirm the motorcyclists’ demand for equipment for various occasions, riding styles and conditions. For this reason we stock suitable tyres and accessories for every occasion and every biker.”
Buyers can, quickly and easily, find a wide range of almost all types of tyres at attractive prices at Moto-tyres.co.uk. Spare parts, accessories such as inner tubes or engine oil are also available. A genuine service-plus for bikers who prefer to have the work done by a professional: the delivery can be made directly to one of many fitting partners in the customer’s vicinity. The customers can then have the tyres or spare parts fitted safely and professionally. And if during the next biker adventure there should be a mishap with the tyres, thanks to moto-tyres.co.uk‘s international infrastructure, the replacement tyre can be quickly delivered where it’s needed.
