Staycation or a visit from further away, find out more about cycling in the UK.

If you're a UK resident or you're thinking about visiting, the UK has some great cycling possibilities which are easy to underestimate. For a start the UK has a wide variety of landscapes, from the quiet rolling countryside of the south, the Moorland uplands of the Peak District, Pennines and the Yorkshire Dales to the more tougher mountainous areas of Wales and Scotland.
With lots of rural areas and routes don't think there is a lack of cycle friendly routes and that there is too much traffic on our roads - and with the "Sustrans" network there are lots of long distance cycling routes opening up.
If you do intend to tour the UK it is easy enough to avoid the large conurbations (unless there is a Sustrans route through it) and the main 'A' class trunk roads as the amount of traffic on these can be large and UK drivers although usually courteous are not used to a lot of cyclists. If you stick to the minor roads and use the long distance cycle routes you should have some great touring.
It goes without saying that we at Go Pedal can help you work through all these options. If you're visiting the UK or having a staycation we'd love to talk to you about how we make your cycling adventure happen, from transfers and equipment, to routes and accommodation and on ride support.
Follow these links for more information, then come back to Go Pedal so we can help you ride wherever you want to.
