Is it called biking if all you do is squeeze the brake and not pedal? That\u2019s what I kept thinking to myself the entire time as I was cycling down the Gotthard Pass on old Tremola Road in Switzerland. Granted, I still had to turn (there was lots of turning) and keep the bike upright as I traversed the serpentine cobblestone road, so it must count as biking, I thought. Regardless of whether I call it biking, it was an immense amount of fun. And the best part \u2013 anyone can bike down Tremola Road \u2013 no training necessary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only was it an adventure that few people take on, but cycling down the pass was a ride through history. It was the perfect example of taking the road less traveled, which is something I always aspire to do when I travel. I can\u2019t imagine a better way to experience this historic pass that connects the North and South of Switzerland over the Alps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
