My name is Paul, I have lived in Cala Bona, Mallorca for 18 years, cycling and competing in Triathlons all over the island. Whether you want to cycle all day or just take a coastal ride for a coffee, cycling in Mallorca will be an experience you will never forget. The months from January to December are ideal for cycling with stunning views on all rides.
Rides cater for all levels of expertise so even if you are just starting out, you don’t need to worry, because there are tours suitable for everyone. Here a couple of my favourite rides in Mallorca, not just for the area where you end up but what you see when you’re cycling.
