Hiking & Bicycling
Walking and bicycling are great ways of exploring the island of Mallorca as you really get to take in the atmosphere, places do not go by too quickly and it is easy to stop wherever you feel like stopping. Walking and bicycling also allows you to access places where motorized vehicles will not take you like deserted beaches or hidden ridges with spectacular views.
The Tramuntana mountains offer a beautiful but challenging setting for hiking and bicycling with lots of trails and mountain roads to explore, while the rest of the island has less changes in altitude, making it suitable terrain for the occasional holiday hiker or bicycler as well as the professionals.
Bicycle Rental in Mallorca
Bicycles are available for rent in all main resorts on the island and prices go down for longer rental periods. Bicycle rental for one day is approximately 8 - 15 euros depending on the type of bicycle you want and bicycles are usually very well kept. Just like with cars, there is an insurance available to cover any damages that may occur to the bicycle during the rental.
Bicycling Safety
Bicycling is quite common in Mallorca and people are not surprised by the occasional roadside bicyclers, however it is still a good idea to wear a helmet as a precaution, because head injuries are the most fatal in bicycle accidents.
