Cycling holidays here in the UK and abroad have become more and more popular in recent years as we look to explore new areas and challenge ourselves to climb new mountains.
There is no better way to enjoy these trips than taking your own bike that you know well and trust. Using a high quality rigid bike box will not only protect your pride and joy in transit but also gives you extra luggage space.
We offer quality rigid bike boxes (Velovault and Bike Box Alan) from just £6 per day. You can reserve any number of boxes for any number of days. To check availability and reserve your box you can call us on 01283 544669 or email to info@cycling2000.co.uk
On collection we require a £100 refundable deposit (in cash) and photo ID.
We offer all the tips and advice you need on packing your box and travelling. Below are videos you can follow.
European Bike Transport
Whether you’re competing in the Etape du Tour or a Ironman 70.3, with our partner (bikeboxonline) we can take the stress out of transporting your bike to and from your event with our delivery service.
We safely transport bikes to a number of Triathlons and Sportives across Europe including the Etape du Tour, Ironman, Maratona, La Marmotte, Italy, France and Mallorca.
With our low-cost bike transport service your bike will be collected from your home and safely driven to your event where it will be waiting for your arrival at your hotel, fully built. Once you’re done, we’ll pick up your bike and drive it back home again.
Book and pay for your bike transport early and save ££££’s – it can work out cheaper than a week’s box hire and Ryanair’s sports equipment costs. We also offer discounts for groups if we can collect your bikes from one central address.

We’re proud to be upfront with our bike transport costs and include bike insurance free of charge as standard (most other companies charge extra after you’ve booked)
Travel Guides
France – from the relatively flat terrain in the North and West to the cycling along the Loire Valley, Provence and the Luberon Valley and of course all the famous climbs in the Alps. France is a stunning location for a cycling holiday. For Mountain Bikers the Alps also offer endless singletrack and a huge number of Bike Parks. Our favorite area for both Mountain Biking and Road Cycling is the Portes du Soleil.
Majorca – to follow
Italy there are some stunning areas to ride in Italy however our favorite is in the Chianti region, home of L’eroica and the Strada Bianche (white roads). Rolling hills, amazing views, stunning food, what more could you want.
Lanzarote is an ideal place for cross country mountain biking. On tracks and goat paths you cycle through the bizarre landscape of lava and craters. The majority of the tours you can start from the Puerto del Carmen area. The longest downhill track is 8 km, most of the others are between 1 and 3 km. In between, there are downhill and uphill stretches with different levels.
Lanzarote also has excellent conditions for road cycling: Smooth tarmac roads, low traffic density, topography up to 600 m with enough flat and steep bits for aerobic endurance and strength training, mild climate that allows year round swimming in the Atlantic.
The best time to visit is from September to May. From June to August, the trade winds keep the temperatures within limits. Only on a few days then, the wind is too strong for cycling on the road.
