Cycling holidays designed by cyclists for cyclists

Love riding bikes but not got time to plan a cycling holiday, or daunted by the logistics? Looking to ride with like-minded folk? Or just happy to let the experts organise the best possible tour?

Pedal Nation runs fully supported cycling holidays across the UK, Europe and Asia (an area of the world where we have strong personal connections), with graded rides organised to suit all levels of rider and type of bike. For us, It’s all about the journey is more than a strapline. Even though many of our trips are linear, how we get there is as important as the destination itself. The days are organised to enable all speeds of rider to travel at their own pace, with regular social opportunities to regroup; one guide cycles with you and another drives the support van with your luggage, food supplies and providing on-hand back-up.

At Pedal Nation we believe that the beautiful world we live in is best appreciated by bicycle, and we are here to make this happen. You don’t need to be the fastest rider on the shiniest bike, even though you might be. What matters to us is that you go home smiling, with lots of stories and new friends, safe in the knowledge that we can deliver your bike to and from the trip.

Make getting your bike to the start & from the finish of our tour by arranging bike collection & delivery. Please contact us to discuss options.

The way we roll at Pedal Nation

We try to take a relaxed approach to our trips. ‘It’s all about the journey’ is not just a fancy strapline. We never forget you are on holiday and we do all we can to make it as enjoyable as possible, even when you are puffing your way over a French col or up a Scottish mountain.

So if cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats is an ambition or you fancy pedalling the country lanes in India or alongside the banks of the Rhine and Danube then get in touch, we look forward to you joining us.
