THE #1 CYCLING LIFESTYLE WEBSITE

LEADING THE NEW CYCLING REVOLUTION!

We believe that there’s often too much commercialism within cycling. Route mapping and information for cyclists should be free, not charged for or membership required – which is why all of the GPX files on our website can be downloaded without any login being required, and access to all of our maps is free to you.

And, we believe in constantly evolving to match the information requirements of the global cycling community; which is why we’ve been joined by Fatima Berton – one of the top cycling lifestyle content creators in the world. With her new Vlog and podcasts for 2026, you can be inspired by this exceptional Flanders based cyclist.

Best of all, Pedalnorth will always give you free access to the very best cycling lifestyle information all over Europe and elsewhere. Isn’t it time for you to join the new cycling revolution and let the team at Pedalnorth inspire you, as you discover your own adventure on 2-wheels!
