Over the years Mallorca has become an absolute Mecca for cyclotourism, with the island government investing a small fortune improving roads, installing cycle lanes etc. acknowledging that the revenue from cyclists impacts greatly on Mallorca’s off-season tourism figures. Cycle friendly hotels have invested heavily in their properties, ensuring their accommodation caters for cyclist’s ‘specialised’ needs. It’s a multi-million euro business which will undoubtedly continue to grow as Mallorca establishes itself as the Biker’s Balearic Dream!

I have visited Mallorca many times in the late winter/early spring and really enjoy driving and exploring the mountains on the north coast. Last year the volume of cyclists made driving a nightmare. You may have gained some cycling visitors, but I’m not coming back and that saddens me deeply.
As a resident and veteran of the 312 and Ironman, I have loved cycling around Mallorca for many years, but not now. Now I mainly go out in the winter and rarely so when the hoardes invade in the Spring and Autumn. There are far too many Weekend Warriors types who behave like complete louts on the road with no idea about road riding protocols. My old club in the UK wouldn’t have stood for it, and either you became a better rider or you’d be out!
