Cycling in Bordeaux

April 26, 2016 6:57 AM

What is the cycling like inside the town of Bordeaux? I know the region is bike-friendly, but if I rent a flat in town, can I easily cycle around the city and reach the outlying areas? Is there a bike path along the Garonne? Any suggestions on bike rentals or biking destinations would be appreciated as well.

Looking at Strava might be a good starting point. You can do a segment search to see popular (to Strava users anyway) cycle routes around the area in town, or create your own route to draw a town to point of interest route and find out how hilly that route would be and the time it would generally take.
