So, you\u2019re planning your next holiday and want to bring your bike along. What a great idea! Cyclists know that slowing down to explore Europe on two wheels is an unparalleled experience. It offers everything from history and culture to breathtaking landscapes, delicious cuisine and charming towns and villages.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, choosing the right accommodation at your destination can make or break any holiday. Cycling-friendly hotels throughout Europe provide a comfortable stay and cater to the needs of cyclists by offering amenities and services tailored to their passion. Let\u2019s explore why it\u2019s a smart choice and discover some of Europe’s cycling-friendly hotels where you can ride, refuel, rest and repeat to your heart\u2019s content.<\/span><\/p>\n

What to look for<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re investigating accommodation options at your destination on your own or it\u2019s your first foray into a dedicated cycling holiday, these are a few of the amenities you want to look for before you book.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Secure bike storage: <\/b>When the day\u2019s ride is done and you\u2019re ready to relax, you want to be sure your two-wheeled friend is secure. A dedicated bike storage room, closed under lock and key, is the ticket to your peace of mind. If the thought of your bike out of your sight makes you nervous, some bike storage rooms include CCTV monitoring or bring along a cable lock for an added level of protection. Hang your shoes on the brake levers and clip your helmet to the bars until tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bike tools and wash:<\/b>\u00a0Your bike may be in tip top shape, or have just come from a tune-up at your local shop, but things happen, particularly when travelling with your bike. Who wants to drag deadweight tools like a pump or wrenches in your suitcase? Choose a hotel that provides a floor pump, workbench and the tools you need for most repairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Laundry facility<\/b>:<\/strong> If you want to avoid bringing your entire cycling wardrobe along, having access to a washing machine is key. One short and jersey can dry while you wear the other. Some hotels may charge for laundry service, or at least the cost of using the machine. To skip this expense, find a local laundromat or hand wash your kit in the sink. Roll them up in a towel and twist to remove any excess water before hanging to dry. Don\u2019t hang your clothing on a warm towel rack. The heat could damage them. Air dry is best.<\/span><\/p>\n

Refrigerator and water<\/b>: A cool drink after the ride is a refreshing pleasure. Access to a refrigerator to keep your water bottle chilled overnight or to potentially stock another beverage of choice while you ride is a plus. If there isn\u2019t one near the bike storage, there may be one in your room. Direct access near your bike to water for your bidons means you won\u2019t forget to fill up before you hit the road.<\/span><\/p>\n
