ABOUT US

Love cycling but don’t have time to plan a holiday? Prefer someone else to handle the logistics? Or want to ride with like-minded people on a great adventure?

Pedal Nation runs fully supported cycling holidays across the UK, Europe and Asia, with rides graded to suit different abilities and types of bike.

For us, “It’s all about the journey” is more than a strapline. We take the best bits of traditional cycle touring – exploring new places, discovering innovative new routes and that sense of achievement – and remove the logistical faff. Crucially for us, how you get there is just as important as the destination. And we take care of the logistics along the way, so there’s no luggage to carry, nothing to organise, and we can even transport your bike to and from the tour.

At Pedal Nation, we think the world is best experienced by bicycle. You don’t need to be the fastest rider on the shiniest bike (although you might be), for everyone rides at their own pace, with regular opportunities to regroup and socialise. What matters is that you head home with great stories, new friends, and a healthy number of flies in your teeth from smiling so much!

Why choose Pedal Nation?

The loyal band of clients who return year-after-year are testament to our holidays. Time and again people comment that the energy and atmosphere on our tours is special: relaxed, informal but professional and well-organised. We are small enough to offer a genuinely personal touch. And with 14 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE OF PROVIDING CYCLING HOLIDAYS AND OVER 40 YEARS PROVIDING TREKKING HOLIDAYS THROUGH OUR SISTER COMPANY HIGH PLACES we are longstanding enough to guarantee a service you can count on.

Bike transfers & bike hire

We can deliver your bike safely to and from our UK and European trips, saving all the hassle and cost of flying with your bike. Alternatively we can arrange bike hire. E-bike transport and hire also available.

Experienced Friendly Guides

Our guides are experienced cycle tourists who will encourage you all the way, and are well accustomed to dealing with unforeseen problems. With small groups, you can be assured of personal support.

Genuinely Small Groups

We believe in low impact travel, so keep our groups small (max 12, compared to some operators whose tours involve 20-30!) This means you can really get to know the other cyclists on tour!

Financial Protection

Not all cycle holiday companies are ABTA members and ABTOT registered, but we like to keep your money safe. We are fully bonded, making booking with us risk-free.

To eat & sleep well!

Because surely these are two of the best reasons to choose a cycling holiday! Expect friendly competition between guides over making the best picnics and personally selected evening restaurants and hotels.

Our ethos

Clients often comment on our ethos: informal, friendly & good fun. No macho culture; supportive of all kinds of cycling goals and levels, and with a strong belief in small-scale, low-impact tourism.

Extraordinary service

From first getting in touch with us, to booking and organising logistics, to great days out on the road - we can assure you of a first-class level of service from our small team. And not a bot in sight!

Interesting routes

We draw on our guides' extensive experience of cycle touring to create innovative routes which provide a real sense of 'journey' & travel. Things to see and visit on the way. A challenge. A sense of achievement upon arrival.
