Global Biking Initiative

Get inspired by historical and modern Sicily, the largest Italian island. During our four days roundtrip we'll explore this unique island from the starting point Palermo. If you like to enjoy the seasons opening in the warm mediteranean sun, with sandy beaches, spectacular views and nice international co-riders - this should be your choice.
The route will be mostly flat with some smaller hills, but on the last day challenging climbs can be expected. The final tour destination will be again in Palermo.

All different kinds of bikes are welcome, whether you have a road bike, mountainbike, city bike or even an e-bike. Depending on the number of participants we will cycle in several (at least two) teams with different speed levels.

The Global Biking Initiative (GBI) wants to show you the most interesting places in Europe in a sportive way. We are proud of our international participants, that makes it easy for everybody to make new friends from other countries. One of our main goals is the continuous support of charity projects worldwide. We achieve this by engaging the participants to raise funds for a charity project in their home country.

The traditional cycling tour with up to 400 participants from all over the world will lead us from London to Dusseldorf. We offer a broad range of services to provide you a very special experience. Even not well trained cyclists could manage to ride the daily distances. And if you really need to finish a stage earlier, our pickup service will bring you and your bike to the daily destination. The mixture of different languages, nationalities and cultures creates the special GBI spirit. And even GBI rookies will perceive this spirit not later than the second day. Let's inspire you and cycle with us through Europe. You will love it!!!

Long-distance races have always played a key role in the tradition of the Nürburgring. In 2003, the Nürburgring has gained yet a further attraction: the 24h race for cyclists. The flair of the race track and the unique atmosphere of a day-and-night race have already attracted a few thousand competitors over the last years.

The Nordschleife offers over 500 m of altitude difference and an overall length of 22 km. The race track offers 72 bends and it also features the bike arena at the Grand Prix paddock. The track leads right through this arena, where around 3,000 competitors put up their tents.

However, the 24h bicycle race not only implies tedious pedalling, but also the pleasure of cycling through the rough and beautiful landscape of the Eifel. When the sun gradually sets and the hilly countryside is tainted in soft light, when all you can hear in the silence of the night beyond the 'Planzgarten' is the sonorous whir of chains or when you simply cannot get enough of threading right and left through the 'Hatzenbach' downhill, the 24h race turns into a real joy.

The GBI offers participation in teams of 4 (or 2) cyclists. Our GBI Village is located directly at the race track. Here you can relax between the rides and get food and drinks to recover from the strain. Supporters of the cyclists are also warmly welcome.

This guided cycling holiday will lead us to some of the most interesting spots in the Provence. We will discover Marseille, the starting point of this tour, as well as the hilly backland of this region. Many different villages with their Provençal flair will enchant you. And the scenery on our way is phantastic. The highlight for all ambitious cyclists will be for sure the Mont Ventoux, but you can also shortcut this climb. Finally we will return after four unforgettable days to Marseille.

The Provence is a very hilly area, you should be aware of constant and partially longlasting ups and downs. We have designed this tour to see as many highlights as possible on our route in order to give you a good impression of the beauty of this place. And don't forget to try the typical Provençal cuisine and the local wines and let us show you some nice venues for the night.

We will discover the west coast of Sweden during our four days cycling trip. Between Gothenburg and Malmö there are beautiful villages, picturesque coastlines and a lot of nature.

Our route is almost flat with only a few minor climbs. Although the wind could be pretty challenging. The scenery along the route makes this tour very attractive. And as we cycle mainly on the new Kattegattleden cycling route on minor roads or on specific well-paved cycle paths, we could enjoy the scenery without worrying about traffic.
Cycle with us and appreciate the Scandinavian hospitality.
