Devon by Bike is a practical guide to cycling in Devon, covering cycling holidays, routes, mountain biking and the local knowledge that helps people enjoy riding here.
The site was originally created to focus on cycling holidays in Devon. It has since been rebuilt and expanded to reflect how people actually ride in the county — whether that’s planning a multi-day trip, finding a good local route, or understanding what cycling in Devon is really like.
Devon is a rewarding place to ride a bike, but it’s not always straightforward. Hills, weather, narrow lanes and exposed coastal routes all play a part. Devon by Bike exists to help cyclists plan better, ride with confidence, and make the most of their time on two wheels.
What Devon by Bike Covers
The site is organised around a small number of clear sections, each designed to be useful rather than overwhelming.
- Cycling holidays in Devon – ideas and guidance for weekend breaks, short tours and week-long trips
- Cycling routes – road, gravel and traffic-free rides across different parts of the county
- Mountain biking – trail centres, natural routes and off-road riding areas
- Practical cycling information – bike shops, hire, transport and local conditions
Each section is built to grow over time, with detailed pages that reflect real riding conditions rather than generic advice.
