Europe is a bike lovers' paradise with dedicated paths throughout the continent via the EuroVelo Network.
You can click here for all the extensive routes and itinerary ideas, but one dream passage called EuroVelo 8 (the Mediterranean Route) involves thousands of kilometers of mostly undisturbed cycling from Cadiz, Spain, to Cyprus.
At press time there are parts of EuroVelo 8 where you need to take a train or ferry, but there's open road between Cadiz, Spain, and Monasque, France; Turin, Italy, and Dubrovnick, Croatia; and Durres, Albania, and Athens, Greece.
If beaches, history, culture and cycling speak to you, this is one journey that is sure to push your pedals.
