Europe offers some of the best cycling routes in the world. Here are some of the best routes to take your eBike with you for an unforgettable ride.
Paul Gentle’s Tarifa to Nordkapp 2020: Spain, Part 1
As promised in the previous post – Surprise Surprise! – below is the first of what will hopefully be a series of posts written by Paul Gentle who, on February 1st, set off from Tarifa in Spain (the southernmost point of the continent) with the intention of cycling […]
Surprise Surprise! Connecting The European Family Of Cyclists
The world is indeed a small place; the cycling family even smaller. I know this as three things have happened this week and they all have nice connections with my third book, Spain to Norway on a Bike Called Reggie. First up is an email, but before you […]
Episode 014: Timmy Mallett / Utterly Brilliant!
The Cycling Europe Podcast returns with a celebrity interview! Mark Beaumont? Tim Moore? Josie Dew? Not quite… This celebrity not only has surprising long-distance cycling credentials but also some thought-provoking comments to make about the joys of heading off on your bike for a long-distance adventure. His name? […]
Santander To Coimbra 2019: The Movie
If you follow @CyclingEurope on Twitter, you may have noticed that over the past couple of weeks, short videos have been posted recounting the story of my cycle from Santander in Spain to Coimbra in Portugal last summer. The reason for the appearances of the videos is two-fold. […]
Warning: Detailed (And I Mean Detailed) Maps Of The EuroVelo Network
One for the maps geeks. (Of which I am one…) You may wish to turn away if you have a dodgy internet connection as clicking on the links below is likely to test your patience in terms of download time, but I will persist. It is often a […]
The Best Reason To Return The Parthenon Marbles…
I note that the Parthenon (‘Elgin’) Marbles are in the news… Back in 2013 at the start of my cycle ‘Along The Med…’ I was given a guided tour of the Parthenon and New Acropolis Museum by a woman called Maria from the ‘Marbles Reunited’ association. For those […]
Cycling Documentaries: I Travel By Bike / Life Lessons…
Meet Cat, a woman who loves bicycle touring. I’ve just watched this video whilst sitting on the bus, stuck in a traffic jam, here in my little corner of West Yorkshire. Inspiring stuff! (Cat, not the traffic jam…) It’s also beautifully filmed. Here’s another one. (You really should […]
The Bear Necessities Of Cycling In Japan
A few weeks ago, I watched a short series of beautiful BBC natural history films called Japan: Earth’s Enchanted Islands. Alas they are are no longer on the iPlayer but a few short clips are available on YouTube. Here’s one of them: Bears… They featured several times in […]
Episode 013: Helen Moat / A Time Of Birds, Anna Hughes / Flight Free 2020, Caroline Burrows / Poetry
The British people have spoken and, by popular demand, The Cycling Europe Podcast returns with episode 013. In this latest audio extravaganza of all things cycling, we head to Matlock in the English Peak District to meet the travel writer and long-distance cyclist Helen Moat. In 2015 she […]
Cycling The EuroVelo 8 Mediterranean Route: The Brochure!
Every EuroVelo could do with one of these… Hopefully sometime soon they will. A glossy 90-page brochure giving an excellent overview of the EuroVelo 8 Mediterranean Route that I cycled back in 2013. The route is broken down into 15 sections starting in Cadiz and finishing in Cyprus […]
5 Upgrades You Need For Better Bike Performance
By Melissa Page Just like high-speed F1 racing or mountain climbing, cycling is a sport that depends heavily on gear. This becomes truer year after year as cycling-equipment technology evolves with advanced research to improve the performance of the bike and the cyclist. This is why getting a gear […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Spain And Portugal – The Movie
It’s time to cast your mind back to the summer of 2019 and my cycle from Santander in Spain to Coimbra in Portugal (via a train along the Douro Valley and Porto). A welcome return to continental long-distance cycling for the cyclist and a shakedown for Wanda the […]
May: The New Start Of The Cycling Year
May was once just another month albeit a nice month in spring with thoughts turning to the longer, warmer days of summer. Then in May 2015, two things happened. Hot on the heels of the visit of the Tour de France to Britain’s largest county in 2014, the […]
Danny MacAskill’s Gymnasium
Another mind-boggling feat of cycling and filmmaking from Danny MacAskill. And a suggestion to stay out of the gym and on your bike?
Talking Of Cycling In Spain And Portugal: The Preamble
I’m delighted to say that I have a new talk in production for 2020. It focuses primarily upon my 2019 cycle across northern Spain to the Douro Valley in Portugal and onwards to Coimbra. There is still much to prepare before the talk gets its premiere in Halifax […]
Ghent: “If You Design A City For Cars, You Get Cars; If You Design A City For People, You Get People”
Wonderful film! So many wise words spoken here but they are summed up in the title to this post. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Meantime in Britain so many are fixated on (cue grunt) “getting Brexit done!“. Sad, sad, sad… This is what progressive nations are doing on the continent. […]
Celebrating The Milan-San Remo Spring Classic
By Ryan McDonald There is something magical about riding the routes previously covered by the cycling greats. As well as getting as a sense of history, you also get to view some spectacular scenery, and the Milan-San Remo is no exception. Also known as the Spring Classic, the […]
Cycling Japan, Via London
Wednesday 2nd January 2020, 9am A long, long time ago… well, back in 2008 when I was living in Reading, I decided to head off to London to see a document at the British Library. The document in question had been written by Archbishop Sigeric. He was the […]
2020: New Decade, New Continent, New Adventure…
Europe is my home and, for the past ten years, has been my playground on a Bike Called Reggie (and more recently Wanda). However this planet is large one and, however much my heart is in exploring every nook and cranny of my own continent, I am keen […]
CyclingEurope.org: The Top Ten Posts Of 2019
So another year draws to a close – a decade even (and more of that later) – and it’s been another interesting 12 months in the life of CyclingEurope.org. It will go down as the year that Reggie the Ridgeback Panorama touring back was replaced by Wanda the […]
Will You Be Cycling Europe This Christmas?
Only five shopping days until Christmas. And if you are looking for that ‘inspirational’ cycling read for a loved one, all three ‘…on a Bike Called Reggie‘ books are widely available online or in bookshops. Read in 2020 in preparation for episode 4 of the great cycling saga […]
A Koga World Traveller Conversation
Dear Andew My name is Attila Bartha, I’m 29 years old, and in spring 2020 I would like to go to around the world with my bicycle. Right now I’m in the preparation section. I got all my camping, clothing, survivor stuff, I manage the visas, the vaccination, […]
Election 2019: A Fork In The Road
The beauty of a democracy – even a half-baked one like the one operating in the UK – is that you can vote for whoever you want; Conservative, Labour, SNP, Plaid, Lib Dem, Green, Brexit, UKIP, DUP… The key thing is that you think about the consequences of […]
Despairing No Longer: A EuroVelo 5 Discovery In Belgium
What is the point of a cycle touring route if no one knows it is there? That’s the question that Kevin Mayne has posed on his website IDoNotDespair.com. I met Kevin back in 2015 as I was cycling from Spain to Norway, staying overnight with him and his wife […]
Cycle Touring Films: Past, Present… And Future?
Earlier this week I was alerted by Twitter follower Dominic Carroll to a video that is available on YouTube. Made in 1971 by the BBC, the film – in two parts online – tells the story of Scotsman Bill Houston, a former soldier and, at the time of […]
CyclingEurope.org: Social Spring Clean, In, Err… Winter
Perhaps it was the anticipation of watching tonight’s episode of The Apprentice. Actually, probably not… But anyway, I spent a little time this morning sprucing up the ‘brand’ of CyclingEurope.org. It’s something I do on an irregular basis, usually when I’m a bit bored. This time, however, I […]
Episode 012: Paul Cheese / The Big Record & Jess Odone / Italy To The UK
The Cycling Europe Podcast is back in the UK and heads to Scotland to chat with Paul Cheese, musician and long-distance cyclist. His travels took him on an astonishing journey to almost every nook and cranny of Britain with a bicycle between his legs and a microphone in […]
Cycling Europe: Coming To A Northern Town Near You…
Well, if you live in Yorkshire that is. I’ve done a fair bit of speaking about my travels on a bike (called Reggie) since I returned from that first adventure back in 2010 from southern England to southern Italy – the full list of speaking engagements is here […]
Top Tips For Cycling In Italy
By Aaron King Italy is a beautiful country, full of striking scenery, historic sights, and famously passionate locals. Cycling is a great way to see Italy for tourists and locals alike. Whether you’re visiting the Italian Alps or Dolomites, or taking a trip to the famous Italian lakes, […]
Off The Beaten Track: The Luddenden Valley And Castle Carr
Despite the rather dull, wet weather (at least it wasn’t too cold), I went for a little local jaunt on the bike this afternoon with a friend, setting off from the very Christmassy Piece Hall in Halifax… …keeping out of the bottom of Calder Valley by taking a […]
The General Election 2019: Cycling
Have you noticed that there will be a British general election in December? Hopefully you plan on voting. (If not, why not for goodness sake?!) As I did in 2017, I have looked at the different party manifestos for mentions of the word ‘cycling’. All the main UK-wide […]
Where There’s A Will: Brutal, Sweaty, Dirty, Visceral, Painful… And Recommended
I’ll be honest. Since writing my own books about long-distance cycling, I have steered clear of other books about long-distance cycling. That’s certainly an error on my part as there are, without doubt, some great books out there. The reason I shy away from diving into new books […]
The EuroVelo 5: Cycling Lucca To London
It’s always nice when people get in contact either to give their own perspective on cycling in Europe (or indeed elsewhere) or seeking advice and guidance. Jess contacted me back in June via this post – The Alps, Security, Water & The Ciclopista Del Sole – that was […]
Sustrans: Trails, Lochs And Glens…
These are nice: “Walking and cycling charity Sustrans has teamed up with mapping experts Ordnance Survey (OS) to launch a series of video clips that explore the National Cycle Network – a network of traffic-free paths and on-road cycle routes spanning the breadth of the UK. Created by […]
The Best Destinations for Cycling in Europe
By Kevin Raneri European cities provide a great experience for anyone looking to explore their destinations on a bike. Exploring beautiful routes with the wind in your hair is a unique experience. The cities boast excellent cycling routes, stunning views of the countryside, infrastructure for cyclists, and bike-sharing […]
Cycling Europe In Honour Of Those Who Saved Europe
It seems an appropriate day to post this. Indeed an appropriate time as the eleventh hour of Remembrance Sunday approaches. I have been exchanging emails with a chap called Gavin Parnaby for some time now. He is currently cycling across Europe, raising money for the charity Combat Stress […]
Crossing Europe: “Excellent, Excellent, Excellent”
“Absolutely adored this book. I’ve recently finished the trio of books and thoroughly enjoyed each of them in their own right, but, this was my favourite. I loved the raw vulnerability displayed by the author as he shared his anxieties with us before and during his journey. I […]

The EuroVelo 1 In Balloch, Scotland
A short trip north to Scotland to speak to a group in the cycle tourism sector who are meeting here in Balloch, Scotland for a EuroVelo 1 themed conference. The hard work for me was last night and the talk seemed to go down well. Having cycled long […]
Beautiful Views, Ugly Driving
I’ve been on cat-feeding duty this week and this means an extension to the normal cycle from home into Halifax. It more or less doubles the length of the journey. This is no bad thing, especially as the road climbing from my house to the ridge that forms […]
reTyre: What Is This Sorcery?
As you might imagine, I receive quite a few emails from companies trying to persuade me of the virtues of their latest cycling product. E-Bikes, cycling helmets, innovative bicycle lights and cycling gloves from China seem to be the most popular topics of the emails I read and […]
Emily Chappell: Where There’s A Will…
In 2015 Emily Chappell embarked on a formidable new bike race: The Transcontinental. 4,000km across Europe, unassisted, in the shortest time possible. On her first attempt she made it only halfway where she found herself suddenly on her back in a field, floored by the physical and mental […]
Episode 011: Santander, Spain To Porto, Portugal
The Cycling Europe Podcast berths in Santander, Spain for two weeks of adventure across the Iberian Peninsula via Potes, Riaño, León, Puebla de Sanabria, Bragança and Porto to Coimbra in Portugal. Join Andrew P. Sykes as he discovers the cycle path less travelled up and over the remote […]
The Sound Of Cycle Touring
Some names are easily forgettable. David Evans, Margaret Butcher, Terry Wilson… (I just made those up. Apologies if you are offended because you have one of those names.) My own name isn’t that exciting; Andrew Sykes. That’s why I stuck the ‘P’ in there for the purpose of […]
Cycling Japan: The Numbers
It’s not quite the deep mid-winter but today, with the heating on and me having yet to leave the house, it could easily be so. My mind turns to the heat and humidity (that was the topic of the last Japan-related post) of next summer, Japan and… a […]
8 Tips For Better Winter Cycling
Shorter days, colder weather and excess moisture do not mean you need to place your bike in storage until summer rolls around once more — it simply means you need to be smarter about how you bike. Winter cycling is not for everyone, but if you think it […]
Bicycle Traveler: The Cycling World In Your Fingers
The morning when an email arrives informing me of a new edition of Bicycle Traveler magazine is a good one. What a great way to cast aside the Monday-morning blues. Grace Johnson (no relation to our own idiot-in-chief I hope…) is based in The Netherlands and the series […]
Cycling Japan: Into The Eye Of A Storm?
With Typhoon Hagibis moving over Tokyo, it seems an appropriate moment to consider what the weather might be like when I cycle the length of the country in July and August 2020. Let’s start with typhoons. Here’s an image from the Windy.com website of Japan with the current […]
Cycling The Length Of Japan: The Thoughts Of Simon Calder
Awake at 2:30 this morning, I switched on the radio, Radio 5 Live. Dotun Adebayo was in discussion with the travel expert Simon Calder. He happened to be in Tokyo so I tweeted a question… …and, a few minutes later, came an answer: My tweet, perhaps, didn’t contain […]

UCI Road Cycling World Championships: Yorkshire 2019 (It Rained…)
I did have tentative plans to head over to Harrogate today to see the UCI World Championship cycling but, with the weather being as it was, I decided to watch from the warmth and dry of my living room. I have to say, however, that the rain made […]
The Cycling Europe Podcast: Isle Of Wight Video Promo
Listen to the full episode of the podcast of the podcast page of CyclingEurope.org, via iTunes or search for The Cycling Europe Podcast on your preferred purveyor of podcasts. Read all about the two-day trip to the Isle of Wight in the following post on CyclingEurope.org:
Adventurous, Exciting… Exotic?
On the day that sees the world’s best female cyclists competing in the women’s road race at the UCI World Championships here in a very wet Yorkshire, I am reminded of a day – now over 11 years ago – when I was living in Reading, Berkshire. It […]
The Long Read: Cycling The Isle Of Wight
In the first of a series of posts, I look back over this year’s summer of cycling that took me and ‘a bike called Wanda‘ to Spain and Portugal preceded by a short visit to the Isle of Wight. Indeed it is on England’s largest island where we […]
Tour. De. France.
The Cycling Europe Podcast: Episode 010 – The Isle Of Wight
The Cycling Europe Podcast is heading to northern Spain and Portugal* but pauses en route for two days of cycling on the Isle of Wight. Andrew P. Sykes follows the Round-the-Island Cycle Route in an anticlockwise direction before hooking up with the Red Squirrel Trail for a return […]

Europe Or Japan? Decision Time Looms…
So… what’s up next? Well, we have the UCI World Championships here in Yorkshire this coming week and I’d like to venture over to one of the nearby starting points (Bradford or Leeds) and perhaps even the Harrogate ‘loop’ to see some of the cycling action. I have […]
Last Of The Summer Rides?
Back from the mainland, wandering more locally with Wanda… Hopefully the answer to the question is ‘no, not yet!‘.

Cycling Europe 2019: Days 20 & 21, Homeward Bound
Soon back home in Yorkshire to my pipe and slippers. Well, without the pipe and slippers bit… Thanks for following this little adventure. More to come, hopefully very soon. And remember to keep fighting the impending horror that is Brexit. All of what I do here came about […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 19, Santander
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 18 (Part 2), Vigo To Palencia (Via León)
Just the final train to Santander to go. But while I’ve got a few hours in Palencia…
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 18 (Part 1), Vigo Station
The big ‘training’ day. There are going to be three of them and, as I type, the 7:05 from Vigo to León is just starting its long trundle across northern Spain. We are scheduled to arrive in León at 13:23 (I’ll leave you to work out just how […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 17 (Part 2), Porto To Vigo
There could be technical issues over the final few days of this Iberian cycle of 2019. Apologies in advance. All is explained in the video:
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 17 (Part 1), Coimbra to Porto
I’m sure the purists out there will heartily disapprove but, as I have to get back home to earn some money, my journey home from Coimbra will, alas, have to be aided and abetted by several train journeys – probably quite a few in fact – and one […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 16, Batalha Monastery
A day off the bike and a journey south by car to the town of Batalha and its Gothic monastery to have a look at the completed church… …its people and birds… …its colours… …and its unfinished church… The cycling returns tomorrow. I have three days to make […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 15, Coimbra
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 14, Porto To Coimbra
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 13, Porto
It’s a non-cycling day. Indeed I haven’t set eyes upon Wanda since I locked her to a large pipe in the underground car park of my hotel here in Porto. I hope the authorities never read that last sentence out of context. She’ll be released in the morning… […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 12, Bragança To Tua (Douro Valley)
A late update from Porto after another epic day of cycling. More details tomorrow but here are the statistics and here is the video: You can read the story of today’s ride in this post on CyclingEurope.org.
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 11 (Part 2), Puebla De Sanabria To Bragança
I’ve arrived on Portugal after a much shorter ride than yesterday (see previous posts) and it’s nice to have a few hours to sit, sip wine, soak up the atmosphere and watch the world go by which happens to be exactly what I’m doing right now. I’ll do […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 11 (Part 1), Galende To Puebla De Sanabria
I really should read my guidebook more often. Or perhaps not… Yesterday’s long ride was a tour de force when it comes to cycling (for me) coming in at 150 km, but it had its frustrations towards the end of the day. Sometimes, when you open your map […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 10, León To Galende
A long, long – epic perhaps – day with a frustrating end. Look at the stats and watch the video. I’ll update the details at some point soon…
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 9, Riaño To León
Well this is rather nice… 100 km of cycling and I find myself in a little local bar in a small square close to my hostel – the Hospederia Rincon De Leon – which must surely be run by the world’s most friendly and useful hotelier. If Basil […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 8, Potes To Riaño
What a day! This post may or may not contain the usual video summary. It seems that I have no space remaining on my iPhone to store the edited video (to subsequently upload to YouTube) but the finest technical minds are working to solve the issue. Well, I […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 7, San Vicente De La Barquera To Potes
I’m getting back into the swing of writing these end-of-day posts. And this year, they come with added video! So here is today’s cinematic epic: Hope you enjoyed that. The full route details are available to see by following this link. That’s the visual and quantitive boxes ticked. […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 6, Santander To San Vicente De La Barquera
OK. A bit of catching up to be done. I’m sitting in a darkened room at Camping El Rosa – excellent site by the way – with three bored teenagers for ‘company’. They aren’t saying much, just staring at their phones away from the prying eyes of their […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 5, In The Bay Of Biscay
It’s 6.30am, or perhaps 5.30am as I seem to remember the woman on the public address system telling us we were sticking to UK time until we arrived in Santander. I’m going to mutiny and stick to continental time. At least it makes me feel better about having […]
Cycling Europe 2019: The Equipment List
The free time afforded by the ferry crossing from Plymouth to Santander has, as promised, allowed me to write the list of equipment that I photographed a few days ago. I did leave one item back in Britain, but which one? 1. Maps 2. Cycling gloves 3. Disposable […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 4, The Pont Aven Departs
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 3, The Isle Of Wight
A less dramatic day in terms of the scenery, but equally enjoyable. And at 62km, a step up from yesterday’s 50km. Here are the full route details and here’s the video summary: The Military Road – I imagine they call it that because it is very straight – […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 2, Reading To The Isle Of Wight
If I ignore the shenanigans with the trains this morning, today has been a wonderful day of cycling. It had it all; great weather, interesting places, majestic landscapes, dramatic seascapes, bucolic cycle paths. I’ll be back after you take a look for yourself: I imagined the Isle of […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 1, Yorkshire To Reading
We’re off. Not a great deal of cycling taking place today; just a 10km journey from home to the train station in Huddersfield and the prospect of an even shorter cycle to a friend’s house once I arrive in Reading. It is not the stuff of epic adventures […]
The Inevitable Equipment Photograph, Again…
They take some doing but are fun to make and here is my third submission into the genre: UPDATE: It’s now the eve of my departure and everything is packed away. Time to reflect of what is to come over the next three weeks… Not bad… As noted, […]
Cycling The Isle Of Wight: The Plan
I’ve mentioned the upcoming trip to Spain and Portugal a few times here on CyclingEurope.org recently, but I haven’t yet said much about what I’ll be doing immediately beforehand, which is spending two days and two nights cycling and camping on the Isle of Wight. Here’s the basic […]
The Trans Pennine Trail
It was an epic 115 km by the end of the day, albeit not all on the Trans Pennine Trail itself. That was ‘just’ the portion from Dunford Bridge to Wentworth Woodhouse (and back). Good preparation for hitting the continent at the end of the month…
Cycling The EuroVelo 1 And The Camino de Compostela
I wish this would happen more often than it does… Back in January I received an email from a cyclist called Paddy Ducey. He told me about how he had read the books that I have written about cycling across Europe and that he had not only enjoyed […]
Episode 009: The Yorkshire Coast
The Cycling Europe Podcast hits the road and heads along the Yorkshire section of the EuroVelo 12, otherwise known as the North Sea Cycle Route, from the iconic Humber Bridge on the southern edge of Britain’s largest county to the coastal treasure that is Whitby. It was a […]
The Cycling Europe Podcast: EuroVelo 12 In Yorkshire
Hot on the heels of my four-day trip to the Far East of Yorkshire and the cycle from the Humber Bridge to Whitby (and thence by train to Middlesbrough) comes a new episode of The Cycling Europe Podcast. It’s the first time that I have dedicated an entire […]
The Cape Wrath Fellowship And You
There was an interesting snippet in this week’s email from Cycling UK regarding something called The Cape Wrath Fellowship. It caught my eye as a few years ago I travelled to Cape Wrath as part of a cycle trip along the northern and western coasts of Scotland. This […]
Cycle To The Cinema… Comes To Halifax
A reminder that this event takes place on Wednesday August 14th in Halifax…
Whitby Abbey
Suitably windswept. Interesting museum telling an interesting story run by English Heritage. There’s more to Whitby Abbey than Bram Stoker and Dracula…
Whitby: Morning Has Broken… And So Has The Weather
Well it has been forecast all week to be grim but this morning is the first time those promises have born fruit. Wet, cloudy, grey… Now if this were Norway in 2015 or indeed Spain at the of the month, I would shrug my shoulders and carry on. […]
EuroVelo12 – Yorkshire, Day 3: Scarborough To Whitby
Whitby this evening was just beautiful… …and after writing this I’ll be heading back outside to cool down. The weather today was sublime, especially if you happened to be cycling. I’m not sure I have the energy to write too much this evening. Bullet points might have to […]
The Cinder Track
A full report later but here are the edited highlights…
EuroVelo 12 – Yorkshire, Day 2: Beverley To Scarborough
That was a long ride but a very good one indeed. Not without its frustrations or challenges, but the best rides are so much better because of them, especially from the perspective of a belly full of curried spaghetti in a youth hostel in Scarborough. My only complaint […]
