Cycling on the Isle of Wight
A great way to see parts of the Island that would otherwise lay undiscovered. The Island boasts a network of great cycleways and quite lanes that help you to see the picturesque scenery the Island has to offer.
From the regular cyclist to the once a year rider there are options for everyone.
Cycle Hire is available from Isleofwighthire.co.uk who have their offices 1st Call Car, Van & Cycle Hire in Sandown and Top Gear Vehicle Rentals Ltd in Cowes.
There are 13 Routes to choose from, some that link into one another and can be enjoyed back to back. For the brave there is also the Round the Island Route at 68 miles in length (not for the faint hearted or amatuer)
