Mallorca in the Balearic Islands is often referred to as one of the greatest places to go cycling and has long been a favoured pre-season training venue for pros and keen amateurs alike due to its mild climate, quiet roads and stunning scenery.
Whilst Brad was out in Mallorca recently filming our ‘Virtual versus Reality’ series he found the time to put together this guide to some of the best best climbs, sights and coffee stops this beautiful Mediterranean island has to offer.

Wow. A beautiful bucket list. I'm always out of place in my home city of carsville nirvana in canada, toronto, onatrio where the cars are king and the cyclists plus even the walking nice street views pedestrians put cyclist / walkers as a third world country. Cyclists and walkers are an after thought for streets safety! Drivers in cars are almost like me first mentality. Driving around trying to be like a fire truck or an ambulance going to a burning building or a hospital when there sometimes one driver in a definitely non emergency urgency.
Me first! The car drivers. Screw everyone else that's bicycling or walking! Going too slow. Not in an emergency when in the car! Canada, Ontario, Toronto city.
I'm biking there from Leicestershire next week can't wait definitely worth the 1000 mile trip
Puig Major ❤️
" It is a Mediterranean climate " ….. it's in the middle of the Mediterranean !!! " It gets quite busy as you can see " …one car drives past !!! Quality journalism !!!!
send Jamie to find out
The only thing that pisses me off about Mallorca, is that i didn't discover it years before. It's a cycling paradise, "love it."
Best destination for cycling 😍😍
I went out there thinking it would be good but it totally blew me away! What a place to ride a bike!!!
Are there cycle shops where you can rent a bike (i.e., a road bike like yours rather than those "cruisers" many places rent)?
It’s a long way to pack a bike from North America. . . so the Bike Rentals are important. My rental was better than my “best bike” at home. . .
Nice that you worked out that the SW of Mallorca has some amazing riding which is often missed by the droves that head off to Pollensa every year.
where is the best place to rent road bikes in Mallorca? Thank you in advance
Bone question but …. being fat but love cycling are there many routes that don't involve serious climbs, longish but flat. Many thanks guys
It's a bit overrated tho. There are much better Mediterranean islands such as crete, sicily, corse. Much more hiatory and much more fun
