Cycling is an ideal option for people who want to explore the less accessible regions of Gran Canaria. Much of the island is filled with nature protected areas, which turns mainstream transport means into less practicable alternatives. Cycling and its sundry versions – such as mountain biking – are an excellent combination of keeping fit and discovering Gran Canaria.
Cycling is possible in Gran Canaria by means of a plethora of centers which offer a complete range of services and products in this respect. Thus, they can either confine to renting bikes and additional equipments or provide comprehensive trip suggestions and organize themselves group activities.
Happy Biking makes available both a bike rental center and a guide able to show tourists the way on the mountain tracks and to give information on the island and its nature assets: plant and animal life.
Regardless of whether tourists practice cycling in order to relax or are experienced bikers keen on this sport, the club will recommend a track featuring a level of difficulty suitable for their profile. In addition, the center ensures the transport from the headquarters to the point where the trips starts off.
