The Isle of Man is the perfect destination for a cycling trip, with enough testing terrain to challenge even the most serious cyclists and plenty of quiet roads and off-road tracks for sightseers and families who want to take it at their own pace.

Despite the Island’s size, the scenery is extremely diverse with wonderful coastal roads, scenic country lanes and sweeping glens to discover. 

With a wide variety of high quality accommodation and places to eat and drink, excellent hire and repair services and a friendly, thriving local cycling community, the Isle of Man is a brilliant all-round cycling destination.

There are a number of annual cycling events to take part in. Having inspired a good number of current and upcoming cycling champions, the Isle of Man is a popular destination for cyclists who want to challenge themselves on the Island’s scenic roads and trails.
