Best places you've ever cycled

[benborp]

Knatts Valley is pretty good. But I really want to go back to Taiwan. The roads are unbelievable.

Western Isles - just full of magical places.

Picos d'Europa - fabulous food and scenery

Pyrenees - the opportunity to pretend you are in Le Tour as you glide effortlessly up Col du Tourmalet (May contain traces of aspiration over truth)

Rochdale

Mallorca for me. I'll be there 3 weeks on Saturday for a week of cycling in the sun

Scandinavia as a whole... can't really pick a single country tbh..

 

[ComedyPilot]

1 - The Netherlands - absolutely sublime facilities and infrastructure designed with cyclists as a priority. Clean, safe, extensive, easy to follow routes with idiot-proof signage (trust me). Utility, recreational, commuting, leisure, sporting, touring cyclists all very well catered for.
2 - Germany - Did a 3 week tour there riding along the Ruhr, Eder, Fulda, Sinn, Main, Tauber, Danube and Rhine rivers. Stunning scenery, light cycle-aware and pro-cycling traffic. Extensive well-signed routes, not as cycles-only exclusive as the NL (more on road) but they do the job.

Liked that too, although it fails on the scenery front. The place looks like the moon!

True, although I only slightly agree as the lunar elements can look quite spectacular.

That said I probably didn't see much of any landscape as I'd have had my head down battling the relentless SIROCCO.

Impossible to have a favourite, depends on the mood at the time.
Iceland for the sheer adventure, Mosel valley in Germany for the genteel beauty, the Rallarvegen for the rugged beauty and downhill freewheeling, Rotterdam city and environs for the constantly changing marine activity.
Touring on a bike, ye cannae whack it!

Only ever cycled in Somerset, Devon and Dorset so, erm, Somerset, Devon and Dorset.

Torn between Isle of Skye and Annecy. Skye has equally fantastic scenery but v remote to visit (at least 100 miles past Glasgow and takes forever), so would probably say Annecy takes it.The most amazing nice flat cycle path all the way along the lake and up the valley towards Albertville. Great mountain passes in all directions if you feel adventurous. Totally recommended.

I'm supposed to be up there again for that and maybe down to Cambridge. Yorkshire looks nice but its not home :-(

Knatts Valley is pretty good.

Yep, riding east to west, terrific descent into Knatts Valley and a world which seems to have been forgotten and all the more amazing it that it can be no more than 20 miles from the centre of London.

You know what, just Scotland...

As long as it's north of the wall It's all good. Avon skin so soft to keep the midges off and is all gravy.

@ScotiaLass don't go anywhere else, nice roads, ropey haggis and the views.
