Saddle Skedaddle - The world's leading independent cycling holiday specialist Skedaddle was born after a cycling trip down the length of Chile.

We were blown away by the whole experience: we visited the most amazing places, cycled through stunning scenery, made new friends, experienced incredible cultures, ate fabulous food - in short, we had the time of our lives. There are lots of other positives about pedal-power too: it keeps you - or gets you - fit; it’s planet friendly and it allows you to explore and enjoy local cultures whilst con

tributing to their economies. The trip convinced us that cycling is the best way to travel and explore, and that with the right support and guidance, anyone can have that trip of a lifetime. Nearly thirty years on and we offer a range of holidays across the world, from Argentina to Austria, Sardinia to South Africa - with lots of UK destinations thrown in! Whatever your age, ability or interest, we’re confident that we’ve got a trip for you.

We caught up with Gravel Union to chat about our off road adventure in the Spanish 'Badlands' and what makes this the ideal destination for a gravel riding epic...

The south-east of Spain is home to two semi-deserts - Gorafe and Tabernas. In both areas, the soft clay, chalk and sandstone soils have been heavily eroded by rain in places, leading to the formation of stunning rock formations, often called Badlands. This region of Spain offers some of Europe’s b...

New important research from Sustrans amplifying the voices of children and what barriers they experience to cycling, walking and wheeling 👇

Today sees the release of the Children’s Walking and Cycling Index report - the first of it’s kind - sponsored by Halfords

This report follows on from the adult Walking and Cycling Index which has been in circulation for over 10 years.

It is designed to combat rising children’s obesity and mental health issues linked to isolation and lack of independence.

Recent national statistics suggest walking, wheeling and cycling to school have fallen since 2022, and Halfords and Sustrans hope to work in partnership to reverse these trends.

Children are often overlooked by decision-makers and officers in transport, or if they are considered, it's on the school journey.

This leaves out the role that travel plays in their day-to-day lives, supporting development of their independence, socialisation skills, overall mental health and wellbeing, and reducing the family workload.

Read more and watch our video here, where you can also download the report in full.

HOLIDAYS THAT MOVE YOU

We’ve been travelling the world on our bikes for more than 20 years and what inspired us all those years ago still inspires us today. That travel should move you and that there is no better way to meet a place properly – its people, its culture, its natural wonders – than by bike.

We don’t do passing by, we do pedalling through You can do something wonderful on two wheels, whether it’s weaving around cobbled city streets or pumping the knees with the hilltop picnic point in sight. Our local guides and their knowledge of the best food, wine and sights, give you an unrivalled opportunity to discover more about the people of a country and their culture; to really meet a place you’ll never want to forget.

A very different kind of ‘all inclusive’ We believe in being outdoors. In the rain and the wind, in sunshine and stillness. We plan for whatever the day has in store for us and look forward to being surprised. Because unlike back home there’s no autopilot or zoning out, we’re here to feel everything we can. All the sights and sounds, the odd bump along the way, just pedalling on and breathing it all in.

Life’s too short to not ride a bike Medieval towns, rural villages, cafes in the harbour; views, smells, endorphins, goat bells and warm breezes, beads of sweat and the best bloomin’ picnics you’ve ever tasted. Meeting new people and sharing your journey with them, makes for the freshest and most enjoyable type of experience.
