Best places you've ever cycled

[Sharky]

For me one the most memorable weeks was the bike week in the Isle of Man, great place to ride round and being bike week, nearly everybody on the island was a cyclist.

The absolute best for cycling has to be the Netherlands, hands-down. Scandinavian countries are a close second.

Favourite ride, though, remains LEJOG.

Amsterdam. The cycling traffic is more scary to me than the cars and lorries in central London......but so much more beautiful....

Ireland. Down through the midlands and onto the South West. Or over to the North West coast & down the Atlantic coast.

I quite like it where I live

I thought Asturias would always be my favourite place but I think Extremadura has now replaced it. Great scenery, wild empty landscape, hardly any traffic, wildlife running amok and packed full of history. Hardly ever rains.

Me too, but it wouldn't be so good if "everybody" was here.

Vauxhall roundabout for me!

To be fair Switzerland is very bike friendly and has lovely scenary.

Agreed, I try to keep quite about how good it is around here just in case everyone decides they want to live here

Vauxhall roundabout for me!

Ah, the herds of wildercabs, the majestic views across the advertising hoardings, the tantalising smells of 2-stroke oil from the marauding mopeds, the romance of the ancient trail of the number 36 bus to Peckham High Street ...

Never ridden abroad but one of the nicest ride I have done is near Glyncorrwg. There are sections of the Skyline trail called "riding high" and "on the edge". Basically its a narrow trail near the edge of a cliff, very entertaining.
I have been to the top of 2 of the 3 peaks but not on a MTB, would be fun on the downhill I bet!

some of the climbs and descents in the Picos made my head spin.
