In Guadeloupe, the "Tour de Guadeloupe" cycling race is known nationwide and attracts many spectators every year. Unfortunately, there are hardly any attractive side roads and cycle paths on the island of "Basse Terre". The climbs are often steep and sometimes long and many car drivers like to accelerate....  Cycling on side roads is possible in the Sainte Rose/Capesterre area. This looks much better on the slightly hilly and partly flat island of Grande Terre. Very nice possibilities, e.g. in the "Grands Fonds" or near Saint Francois at the Pointe des Châteaux. A relaxed cycling programme for a week should also include at least one detour to the island of Marie Galante. There are excellent cycling opportunities on many small roads with little traffic.

Due to the local driving style in road traffic, especially the lorries transporting ferry goods, as well as the topography of the island (steep climbs), there are hardly any opportunities to hire bikes on St Kitts. On the smaller, cosy island of Nevis, there are beautiful tours through tropical vegetation, sleepy villages, along beautiful beaches - for every taste and every level, especially on the Windwardside, e.g. on Pinneys Beach or near Charlestown. Cycling on Nevis is very beautiful, but there is not yet a real cycling culture. In January 2022, an innovation will be introduced on the island of Nevis: Pedestrians and cyclists will have right of way over turning cars........ "New Road Code"..... Most tours are partly off-road. It is therefore advisable to hire a mountain bike. This should be booked before arrival.
