Hi there, Just wondering how many others, like me, do their caching on a bicycle? I realise that by and large geocachers tend to drive and then ramble from their cars, but as a non-driver I am somewhat limited in that regard. I do enjoy the thrill of discovering new places to ride on my bike while enjoying the hobby but it has its unique pitfalls. Like areas where it is difficult to take your bike but of course there is nowhere to secure it either. I really appreciate caches in public parks as obviously these are nearly always accessible. I have also recently moved to Preston and have just started to find the caches which are local to me and work out some routes for days out caching. Currently cant really afford a proper GPS unit so use my phone, though of course that runs out of charge faster than I would like. I would love to hear anyone elses tales and tips with caching on 2 wheels.

Total newbie here in Southampton, but I have already tracked down my first couple of caches.

Hi Lazerus101, I'm not sure how easy those will be to get to by public transport. You could also have a look at some of the series placed by Miksomas the one's I've done of his are well worth the effort. You may know this already but if you click on the "Geocaching.com Google Maps" link on any cache page, you can zoom out and drag the map around to find caches in the areas where you can get to easily. M: Those look nice, might be worth planning a days outing, taking the watercress line in while I am at it.

I shall have to give those a shot if I ever can get out that way. Tis a pain Geocaching without your own transport. XD

As a Hampshire resident I would be most interested in this too. I am new to the game and so far have been limited to a few near my home in Southampton (I don't drive, have to rely on mk1 feet and public transport)
