PEDALO Trip Types

Question 1

Profile of PEDALO cycling holidays

Whether you are an absolute beginner, a leisure cyclist or an office worker - with so much to choose from, there’s sure to be something to suit almost any taste and fitness level.
You will cycle on flat or gently undulating terrain that avoids strenuous climbs, mostly on cycle paths or side roads with little traffic. You can expect daily stages of between 45 and 55 kilometres.
The key to a great cycling holiday: Well-deserved breaks and plenty of variety! Beautiful nature and many cultural treasures offer a refreshing change from cycling.
As far as the choice of bike is concerned, fun is the keyword. You can cycle on anything that gets you going. No bike – with or without an electric motor - is discriminated against, whether it's a cosy Dutch bike, a proud sports tourer or a PEDALO hire bike.

Question 2

Profile of PEDALO bike & boat trips

The PEDALO bike & boat catalogue gives you a sea of choices, from leisurely cycling holidays to challenging road bike tours.
Experience idyllic river landscapes, winding canals and magnificent lakes from the boat, or hop from island to island on a motor sailor and then explore life on land by bike. Say yes to the magic of the bike-ship trip!
Enjoy the cycling stages and immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings – or just take it easy on the sun deck if you like! Either way, it will be an unrivalled journey of discovery that’s always on your wavelength.
No two ships are the same, and the facilities and comfort options can vary. In any case, you can look forward to good, functional ships with charisma and comfortable cabins – but please don't expect luxury liners.

Question 3

Profile of PEDALO sporty bike tours

A medium level of fitness is required for these trips. Healthy, reasonably experienced cyclists who get on the bike regularly will have this. These tours are the perfect combination of cycling and holiday enjoyment.
The routes sometimes lead through flat river valleys, and sometimes through hilly areas. You will mostly cycle on tarmac paths or smaller roads, with short sections on gravel paths possible from time to time. The daily stages are between 70 and 100 kilometres.
Every day should be a treat for all the senses, so the cycling stages leave enough time to enjoy the charms and attractions of the surroundings or simply take it easy.
A sporty bike is the best choice for this trip. Whether it's a trekking bike, sports tourer, gravel bike or racing bike is up to you - the main thing is that nothing stands in the way of speedy progress. You can decide to go even faster with some built-in tailwind, i.e. on an e-bike.

Question 4

Profile of PEDALO road bike tours

Good stamina is essential for these tours and you should be used to a racing pulse. Don't worry though - even beginners and dabblers will be able to find the perfect road bike tour!
Depending on the route chosen, anything is possible: flat or not so flat, steep or even steeper. The stages are between 80 and 120 km (sometimes more), the roads are well sealed and, apart from a few sections, there is little traffic.
It makes no sense to just speed through your holiday. There will also be time to marvel, relax, enjoy the occasional cappuccino and, of course, for the daily check on your muscle growth.
To ensure a fast tempo, a racing bike or sleek gravel bike that will really get your calf muscles going is a must. On some trips, however, a speedy sports tourer also works well.
