Cycling on Mallorca

A cycling holiday on Mallorca is worthwhile for active athletes on a road bike, as well as for families on a mountain bike or trekking bike.

At 3,620 km², the largest of the Balearic Islands offers plenty of varied scenery, a pleasant climate, mountains and wide plains. What is more, the Mallorcan coastline rewards you with dreamy views after your rides on a bike hired from a Mallorca bike rental service.

Bike Hire Mallorca Supports a New Trend

Athletes on mountain bikes and road bikes represent a strong trend on Mallorca since the 2000s: cycling is clearly on the rise. Especially in winter and spring, countless athletes visit the island and hire their trekking bike, mountain bike or road bike from a Mallorca bike rental service, meet up at the Bike Camp Mallorca and set off from there on the island's most beautiful tours. By now there is likely a low six-figure number of tourists from Central Europe and overseas, many of them German, who come to Mallorca to do nothing but cycle and who hire the right equipment for it from a bike hire company on Mallorca. Professional cyclists too have long since discovered the island for themselves, which only adds to Mallorca's popularity as a cycling paradise. Official Mallorcan cycling events include the Challenge de Masters, the Volta Cicloturista and the Cinturón Internacional. Private leisure cyclists can undertake tours in the most varied categories on their trekking bike from a Mallorca bike rental service. In the island's interior and in the south there are many flat, long stretches that are perfectly suited to a road bike, while in the north and west you will find varied mountain stages. The Serra de Tramuntana in particular challenges cyclists with climbs that are at times steep and demanding.
