The Slow Cyclist

About Us

At The Slow Cyclist we design and lead small group cycling and walking adventures for the culturally curious; journeys that enable our guests to move at the perfect pace to absorb the beauty of a place - slowly, thoughtfully, and with curiosity.

From the meadows and forests of Transylvania to the red earth of Rwanda, since 2015 we have been crafting experiences with care for the landscapes we cross, the communities we visit, and the guests we guide. Rooted in values of connection, excellence, and respect for the planet, we offer something increasingly rare — travel that is both deeply human and profoundly memorable.
