Pedal Power

With quiet roads, fantastic sea and mountain views and routes encompassing everything from a leisurely slow cycle to some of the best and most challenging hill climbs, Anglesey and Gwynedd are great destinations for every kind of cyclist!

We can now turn to our computers or smart phones for a range of suggestions for cycling routes, and Anglesey has some sign-posted cycle route. But there are all sorts of cyclists and all kinds of routes out there. So how do you know which to choose? Some cyclists are more than able to head off on their own, but two companies in the region feel that there is a role for a bit of human interaction and support!

Some have already got the cycling ‘bug’ and are happy to undertake as many cycling challenges as possible. North Wales provides some exciting and awe-inspiring road cycling routes for the proficient cyclists, from a round-Anglesey route, recognized by Audax, the long-distance cycling club, to some of the routes around Eryri’s peaks. These are grand challenges for the fit cyclist!

Want the ‘team-cycling’

feel?

This is where Cyclewales at Llangefni comes into the story. In addition to hiring and maintaining bikes, Cyclewales are the first in the region to provide a professional support team service to cyclists wanting to undertake some of these longer more challenging cycle routes.

With their support, people can have the confidence to take on any of three 100k cycle routes on Anglesey, Eryri and down the Llŷn peninsular, completing some of North Wales’ most scenic cycling challenges. Being accompanied by a support team, provides peace of mind and also the feel that you are part of a professional racing team!

Leisurely cycling on a guided tour

But if the thought of such an undertaking fills you with dread, then a slower pootle around the quiet back-lanes of Anglesey to soak up wildflower verges, sea vistas and mountain views may be more your thing!

Also providing an original service, Green Lane Bike Tours offer ten different guided bike tours on Anglesey. Cycling in the company of a qualified cycle leader and local historian provides people with confidence to try a day’s cycling as well as an opportunity to discover new destinations and find out more about the history and culture of Anglesey. n
