Currently on my second trip here (first was a cycling holiday, this is a family holiday with some cycling for me!) Love the cycling here, the people, the scenery, the climbs, the roads all of it is fantastic. Will probably come back for a week in the winter, work remotely for a few days then have a few days cycling to get away from the dreary UK winter weather! Can’t wait to come back!

The only thing that pisses me off about Mallorca, is that i didn't discover it years before. It's a cycling paradise, "love it."

I went out there thinking it would be good but it totally blew me away! What a place to ride a bike!!!

I'm biking there from Leicestershire next week can't wait definitely worth the 1000 mile trip

Best destination for cycling 😍😍

I really enjoying cycling there, been twice now, and will go again and again. I would like to debunk an urban myth though, the roads are good but not faultless, if you are going thinking that every road is like silk, they aren't. I would say they are similar to roads here in Dorset. After rain due to the nature of the soils you get a lot of washouts and gravel, especially on the more rural back roads. Don't let that put you off, just be aware you need spares and take it steady where you can't see the road ahead. My rides have all been guided by locals so lucky enough to get forewarned.

Nice that you worked out that the SW of Mallorca has some amazing riding which is often missed by the droves that head off to Pollensa every year.

Puig Major ❤️

Thanks good content 😊

Coll de Soller both sides is imo the best climbing on the island (plus amazing cafe at the top) along with Puig Major. Port de Valldemossa, Coll de la Creu out of Palma, Sa Batalla with the famous garage cafe at the top, Orient, Honor, Galilea, the road through Deia and Bunyola good for stops. For non cycling get the wooden train through the mountain Palma-Soller. And always stop by the roadside for fresh squeezed Zumo de Naranja 😋

A good video.

good stuff - how did you find the traffic - light or heavy? Were the drivers nice enough? thx

It’s a long way to pack a bike from North America. . . so the Bike Rentals are important. My rental was better than my “best bike” at home. . .

Awesome video! Im so curious to come and bike here for the winter months! Does anyone have good recommendations on short and long term housing? And is car rentals common to go to all kinds of routes too or?

👌🏻😎

where is the best place to rent road bikes in Mallorca? Thank you in advance

Bone question but .... being fat but love cycling are there many routes that don't involve serious climbs, longish but flat. Many thanks guys

Are there cycle shops where you can rent a bike (i.e., a road bike like yours rather than those "cruisers" many places rent)?

send Jamie to find out

" It is a Mediterranean climate " ..... it's in the middle of the Mediterranean !!! " It gets quite busy as you can see " ...one car drives past !!! Quality journalism !!!!

Wow. A beautiful bucket list. I'm always out of place in my home city of carsville nirvana in canada, toronto, onatrio where the cars are king and the cyclists plus even the walking nice street views pedestrians put cyclist / walkers as a third world country. Cyclists and walkers are an after thought for streets safety! Drivers in cars are almost like me first mentality. Driving around trying to be like a fire truck or an ambulance going to a burning building or a hospital when there sometimes one driver in a definitely non emergency urgency.

It's alright but not for me. Girona is superior in every way in my opinion.

Me first! The car drivers. Screw everyone else that's bicycling or walking! Going too slow. Not in an emergency when in the car! Canada, Ontario, Toronto city.

It's a bit overrated tho. There are much better Mediterranean islands such as crete, sicily, corse. Much more hiatory and much more fun
