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. We choose to use Google maps, as they are the most reliable and comprehensive – and Google also agree with giving access to information for free.

We will be expanding our content in 2026, with new Vlogs and podcasts from Fatima Berton, from Flanders, and with world-renowned cycling commentator and coach, Brian Smith, too.

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!

NEW FOR 2026

Pedalnorth remains proudly different and focused on creating and delivering the very best cycling lifestyle content that is representative of all cyclists – with something for everyone who rides a bike. Our team of writers and content creators this year is increased by Teo, Alex from the mountains of Transylvania in Romania; by Fatima Berton from the cycling heartland that is Flanders in Blegium, and also by Kristi from Estonia – fresh from winning the European CX AG championship.

Alongside their blogs and vlogs, we’re also joined for 2026 by former world tour cyclist, team manager and leading commentator, Brain Smith with his Wordsmith podcasts.

We’ll also be using their vast experience as cyclists to create even more curated routes on road, gravel and mountain bike, to inspire you to find your own perfect cycling adventure. Together with Robert and Nadezhda, they’ll will be riding in some of the best places in the world, helping us to continue to innovate and to lead the way, as one the world’s best cycling lifestyle and culture websites.

TIME TO RIDE

We’ve put together a selection of some of the very best high quality road and MTB routes in the U.K., Europe and elsewhere, with new routes being added for Italy, France and Romania all the time. Best of all, our maps and gpx files are all free to download and don’t require subscription. And, we’re now riding and adding some of the best gravel bike routes in Europe too.

Our mountain bike coast to coast route is regarded as one of the most popular online, and our new gravel bike coast to coast route went live in summer 2022, taking you from Ravenglass and the Lake District, through the Yorkshire Dales and on towards Ravenscar and the North Yorks Moors coast, with help from Orbea U.K.. All of our U.K. based road cycling and mountain bike routes have detailed Ordnance Survey maps for you to follow too, keeping you on track wherever you’re riding.
