The Slow Cyclist

Solo Travel Adventures

"I can't remember ever being so well looked after."

We’re often asked if our journeys are suitable for solo travellers, and the answer is a resounding yes. When you join a Slow Cyclist scheduled journey, you can travel in comfort with a small group of like-minded travellers.

We know that organising a solo trip can be daunting, but when you travel with us, everything from the moment you land is included and organised for you. You’ll be looked after along the way by our team of guides and hosts, who will help with everything from extra pillows to adjusting bike seats.

A Slow Cyclist scheduled journey offers the chance to connect with others. You’ll spend your days with the group, but there are also opportunities for time alone to relax. Over the years, we’ve seen many guests arrive as strangers and leave as firm friends, regardless of whether they’re travelling solo or with a friend or partner.
