Choosing the right bike can make or break a cycling vacation. At Great Bike Tours, that decision is never left to chance. Every detail—from the type of bike you ride to how it’s fitted and supported—has been carefully designed to ensure you experience comfort, confidence, and enjoyment on every mile of your journey.
What sets these tours apart is a simple but powerful philosophy: the best bike is the one that fits you perfectly. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, riders are given the freedom to choose from multiple high-quality bike styles. Whether you prefer a smooth-riding hybrid, a fast road bike, or the added boost of an e-bike, the goal is always the same—match each rider with the ideal setup for their ability, comfort level, and touring goals.
Our Guides
From the moment your tour begins, experienced guides take the time to professionally fit your bike. This isn’t a quick adjustment—it’s a personalized process. Seat height, handlebar position, and overall geometry are carefully dialed in so that your bike feels like an extension of you. Even your helmet is adjusted for safety and comfort before you set out.
This attention to detail continues with the equipment itself. Most bikes in the fleet are modern, well-maintained models designed for performance and ease of use. Riders can choose between step-over or step-through hybrid frames for stability and accessibility, lightweight road bikes for speed, or pedal-assist e-bikes for those who want a little extra help on longer routes or hills.
Our Bikes
Each option serves a different type of rider. Hybrid bikes offer a balanced, upright riding position that’s perfect for scenic touring and long days in the saddle. Road bikes provide efficiency and speed for those who want to cover more ground. E-bikes, equipped with advanced pedal-assist systems, allow riders of varying fitness levels to stay together and enjoy the journey without feeling limited.
But the experience goes far beyond just the bike itself. Every tour includes thoughtfully selected accessories that enhance both convenience and safety. Riders receive helmets, rear storage packs for personal items, locks, lights, mirrors, and even phone mounts for navigation. These details may seem small, but together they create a seamless riding experience where you can focus on the scenery instead of logistics.
The Right Bike for You
Ultimately, the goal is not just to provide a bike—but to provide the right bike. When you’re properly fitted, equipped, and supported, every ride becomes smoother, more enjoyable, and more memorable. Hills feel more manageable, distances feel shorter, and the focus shifts from effort to experience.
That’s what makes the difference. You’re not just handed a bike and sent on your way—you’re carefully matched with a setup designed specifically for you, backed by a team dedicated to making your tour exceptional.
Another key advantage is the level of support available throughout the tour. With multiple guides on the road and full van support running in the background, you’re never truly on your own. Whether you need a quick adjustment, a break, or assistance along the way, help is always nearby. This ensures that riders of all experience levels can feel confident and cared for from start to finish.
What truly builds trust, however, is the human element. The guides don’t just lead—they actively look after each rider, keeping an eye on the group and ensuring everyone is comfortable, safe, and enjoying the experience. It’s a level of attention that transforms a simple bike ride into a fully supported adventure.
When everything comes together—fit, comfort, equipment, and support—you don’t just ride… you enjoy every moment of the journey.
