'''Hitchbiking''' is a mixture between hitchhiking and biking. Instead of waiting on on single spot for someone to [[Picking up hitchhikers|pick you up]] you are sitting on a bike, already heading for your destination. Once a Pickup Truck or a big truck showes shows up you rise your thumb and smile. Some prefer to park the bike at a good [[Where to hitchhike|Hitchhiking spot]] and wait there for a ride. Others again have a folding bike and can put their bike in a normal car trunk/boot.
=== Pros ===
* You never get stuck in a bad hitchhiking spot.
* You are more flexible because you don 't depend on traffic. That means you can explore little beaches, rivers or villages with your bike and hitchbike further afterwards.
* You get a lot of attention if you are running on your bike with all the luggage.
* You can enjoy beautiful parts of our your trip on a slow pace with your bike and skip bad or hard ones while hitchhiking.
=== Cons ===
* It's harder to find someone who has room for you and your bike. You might consider getting yourself a fold-up bike, which uses significantly less space.
* You need good bags which should be easy to remove from the bike.
* It 's not that obvious for the driver that you want a ride.
* In countries with tiny cars and few trucks its really hard.
