COME ADVENTURE WITH US
We offer a huge variety of self-contained, supported, and educational bike tours with experienced leaders, at affordable prices, for cyclists of all experience levels. Our cycling tours include cross-country treks, weeklong bike trips, mountain bike adventures, and family bike events, throughout some of the most scenic areas in North America. With over 30 years experience in organizing cycling tours (and preparing some of the best cycling routes and bike maps anywhere) Adventure Cycling has been dubbed “America’s Bicycle Travel Experts.”

For 2008, we're offering over forty opportunities for you to experience the joys, and often life-changing benefits, of bike travel: early season winter warmers in California, Arizona, and Texas; two self-contained bike trips in Alaska (Golden Circle and Denali Adventure); our first-ever Great Western Loop; mountain bike trips on the north rim of the Grand Canyon or over the red rocks of Western Colorado and Southern Utah; the Pacific Coast; the Great Lakes; the C&O Canal/Great Allegheny Passage; a big sky bike ride with Cycle Montana, and family bike tours in Idaho and Colorado.

Ready for a truly epic bicycle travel adventure? Check out one of our self-contained (you carry your gear) cross-country cycling tours: the TransAmerica trail , Northern Tier, Southern Tier, North Star, Great Divide or Underground Railroad – or enjoy van support on our first-ever supported TransAmerica bike tour . Consider the words of one of our Southern Tier riders in 2007, “It was amazing – and has challenged me to create a new path in life. I met some truly amazing people and saw some amazing places. And my life is better off because of it.”
