Cycling Holidays with Children

Family cycling tours in Europe

You’ll never hear ‘Are we nearly there yet?’ on a Softies family cycling holiday. Elbow out all thoughts of school reports. Instead, bask in the sunshine, quibble over the map and issue a collective 'Wheeeee' as you whizz down the hills on your bike.

A Cycling for Softies family cycling holiday involves lots of cycle paths, hotel pools, flexible eating arrangements and plenty to see and do in the local area.

Fussy eaters will be well catered for when choosing family cycling holidays in Italy. The wonderful food there is enough to please even the harshest of young critics. One of our most popular family cycling holidays in France is our single centre tour in the Loire Valley. With one base for your whole stay and easy cycling tours suitable for all ages, this is a great choice. Family cycling holidays in the UK are also an exciting option, with our single centre Ockendon Manor tour exploring the lovely Sussex seaside. 

Our family cycling holidays work well for younger children, teenagers, parents and even grandparents too. To find out more about our cycling holidays please contact our cycle experts who are on hand to discuss your requirements.
