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.

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.
Whether you choose to go for our small-guided parties of around 6 to 15 people or decide to ride self-guided with friends or family, our hand-picked destinations and routes, led by local experts, are designed to make sure everyone has an incredible time.
