Cycling holidays: Happy Bicycle Day, cyclists!

Written by Elisabeth Blue | Apr 17, 2019 1:33:05 PM

Are you looking for Cycling Holidays? 19 April is celebrated all over the world as Bicycle Day, designed as a homage and tribute to an economical and environmentally-friendly mode of transport that benefits us all. This begins with ourselves, given that cycling provides first-rate cardiovascular exercise, and encompasses the whole of society and the planet, given that it solves many mobility problems without in any way damaging an overly-exploited and polluted ecosystem.

In recent years World Bicycle Day has become a day for campaigning, with all of us invited to reflect and to do our bit to use methods of transport in a more rational way. It is also of course a wake-up call for governments, so that they stop prioritising cars and polluting forms of transport in their investments and policies, and they remember the bicycle and the needs of its users and devotees a little bit more.

If bicycles are your life…. Live it to the full on Mallorca

Being a cyclist is much more than engaging in a sport. It is a way of life, even a philosophy. Using a bicycle is being committed to the culture of sacrifice and effort and advocating the defence of the environment and nature.

If you like touring natural settings by bicycle, Mallorca is an almost obligatory destination. The exceptional altitudes of the island and its almost 1,300 kms of secondary roads, which traverse spectacular mountain and coastal landscapes, constitute the plus non ultra, the sans pareil for fans of all levels as well as cycling professionals.
