The hilly and mountainous landscape in Sicily is ideal for sportive cyclists! From the coastal towns of Balestrate, Castellammare del Golfo, Alcamo Marina and Trappeto you can make several beautiful bike trips in the area. Due to the lovely Sicilian weather you can ride a bike for most part of the year, roughly from March until (the end of) December.

On this page you'll find several bike routes and itineraries, including the length, the elevation and grades of every one of these routes. You'll also be able to view the bike routes in Google Earth and Google Maps and to download tcx files for use in a Garmin bike computer.

On this page you'll also find more information about renting racing (road) bikes and mountain bikes and cycling with a local guide.

on-Sicily - racing bikes and mountain bikes rental in Sicily

As a guest of on-Sicily, you can rent a Ridley racing (road) bike or mountain bike at Eurobici's in Partinico with which you can start "conquering" the mountains. Because we'd like to adjust your rental bike in advance so that it fits you perfectly and rides as comfortably and efficiently as possible, we advise you to book the bike(s) several weeks before your arrival in Sicily (and to send us, if possible, the measurements of your own bike via e-mail).

It is also possible to rent a helmet, if you can't bring your own due to luggage restrictions of the airline. You do have to bring your own bicycle clothes, or you can buy them at Eurobici's in Partinico.
