Cycling is a fantastic way to get around the Algarve. There is something for everyone. Beginners might want to take a gentle cycle around the Historical town of Albufeira. A beginner cyclist could even cycle East from Albufeira to Quarteira or West to Portimao. Intermediate cyclists can enjoy bike rides for approximately 3-4 hours in the loops between Albufeira and Faro or Tavira or even cycle the loop of the coastal peninsular. Advanced cyclists can embrace the challenges of the upward cycling required for Monchique. The good news is that when it comes to Bike rental Albufeira has plenty of good options.
Remember to check that the bike fits you properly before you cycle off – they will probably help you with that at the Bike Hire shops. Your leg should fully extend straight when you push down on the pedal.
