The Best Bike Trips in the U.S. You Can Book Right Now

We found the safest bike tours along America’s most spectacular routes so you can check another ride off your bucket list!

Currently Covid cases are at an all-time high in the U.S. Before you book any trip, check for travel restrictions and mandates in states and counties you’ll pass through and understand they may still be in place when it’s time for your trip. If so, respect these restrictions and their communities by rescheduling for a safer time.

Riding your bike can be a fantastic escape from unprecedented stress—as many of us learned (or relearned) in 2020. And riding it someplace beyond your locals adds even more magic. But during a pandemic, everything from traveling to get someplace new to being part of a group is complicated. We debated skipping our annual travel awards, but ultimately decided to focus on stateside trips (potentially eliminating or reducing air travel) run by companies instituting rigorous safety protocols.

Our editors vetted hundreds of tour outfitters and analyzed their itineraries for things like average tour size, traveler reviews, value, and quality of the rental fleet. Each company we chose to feature established practices to combat COVID (everything from providing masks to testing staff regularly to sanitizing equipment), and many have eased their cancellation policies, decreased group sizes, and bolstered their self-guided and private trip options. Of course, it’s still up to you to travel responsibly: Ride within your limits to avoid taxing local health systems, check for travel restrictions in states and counties you’ll pass through, and if you’re sick, stay home. And if your personal situation, local conditions, or sense of caution keep you at home this year, we hope you use this list to shop for the trip you’ll do during a better time.

BEST FOR FOODIES

Mendocino gravel, the outfitter, the cyclist’s menu.

Created by husband and wife Zander and Heidi Ault (a farm-direct chef and a former pro mountain bike racer), this six-day, five-night tour seamlessly marries stellar gravel riding with phenomenal eats. Routes explore a playful 10-mile stretch of coastline and tranquil roads and trails through more than 50,000 acres of Redwood forest (daily mileage runs 30 to 70). Breakfast spreads, picnic lunches, and sumptuous evening meals all lean into local providers (fresh-caught seafood, community-grown greens, and craft brews) and group bonding (tours are capped at eight travelers; 10 for private) is the goal. Days wind down with happy hours overlooking the coast ahead of comfortable overnights at the MacCallum House Inn.

This six-day trip is fully supported, features a mix of challenging climbs and zippy descents, and offers customizable routes (daily mileage range: 20 to 55) to please less-experienced gravel riders and veterans—like the climb up to the Morrell Mountain Lookout at 7,700 feet and sections of the legendary Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. A home base at the Double Arrow Lodge in Seeley Lake means you only unpack once, and locally sourced meals prepared by Cycling House chefs keep you fortified throughout.

adventure cycling association's underground railroad route

BEST CULTURAL HISTORY

Underground railroad route, adventure cycling association.

The Underground Railroad was the secret network of homes and churches that helped enslaved people reach free states and Canada. This route from Mobile, Alabama, to Owen Sound, Ontario, pays homage to that perilous journey and is part of the ACA’s 50,000+ mile route network. While there is a guided tour offered on the route, it is most frequently traveled by self-guided cyclists who rely on the ACA’s detailed maps and GPX data for guidance. There is no fee to ride the route other than to purchase the map set or GPX data, or use their Bicycle Route Navigator app. (Adventure Cycling members also get a discount on paper maps, among many other benefits).

Find Your Grand Adventure with a 2024 Guided Tour 

2024 guided tours are filling up. find your adventure today.

With an Adventure Cycling Guided Tour, you can count on five things: 

  • Curated experiences traversing the histories, cultures, and landscapes of the U.S. 
  • A tour type to fit your travel style 
  • Small groups of 10-15 participants, except for our larger Fully Supported Events 
  • A fully planned trip, without the worry of routing, navigation, or reservations, from an experienced organization 
  • Warm fuzzies knowing your Guided Tour purchase supports a nonprofit and its mission, not a for-profit company 

We’re excited to hit the road with you! 

Our goal is to facilitate a life-changing journey with a Guided Tour that fits your needs. Our Guided Tours provide a range of experiences: long weekend to epic, pavement to dirt, historically focused to earning the scenic vistas. They also come in a variety of lengths and difficulties as well as different levels of support and price points. We offer everything from self-sufficient nights under the stars to fully catered experiences and inn-to-inn options.  

Every tour comes with knowledgeable Tour Leaders, routing, navigation, and reservations. All you have to do is participate! Some tours provide opportunities to get to know your fellow riders better, such as group-made meals and grocery shopping, while other types of tours are less interactive. Participation in these small group activities on some tour types is all part of the Adventure Cycling experience.

“Without a doubt, the best part of the tour was the friendships we made. We came from all levels of experience. Everyone was supportive. Every single day, no matter what the difficulty of the day, we laughed.” – Sam, Tour Participant

Types of Tours

We have a variety of tour formats that suit different styles of touring. All come in different lengths and levels of difficulty, which we call Adventure Levels, ranging from Level 1 to Level 5. Generally, our tours have between 10 and 15 participants, with the exception being our larger Fully Supported Events.

Self-Contained This type of touring is all pedal power and no vehicular support. All shared gear is carried by the group, and cooking responsibilities rotate among its members. A majority of nights are spent outdoors under the stars. An indoor stay or restaurant may be sprinkled in just when you need it the most.

Inn-to-Inn This is the type of tour for those of us who prefer the comforts of a cozy bed. As the name suggests, each night is spent indoors. Breakfasts and dinners are enjoyed in restaurants. Although there is no vehicle support, you’ll only need to carry the minimal gear of your clothes, toiletries, basic repair items, water, and a bag lunch for the day.

Van-Supported If you prefer touring without the load of a full set of panniers, but you still love camping, we have a van and trailer to haul your gear. Just worry about pedaling. Carry nothing more than water/lunch/snacks and maybe some rain gear if the weather’s dodgy. You’ll still have fun with your partner rotating on camp cooking duty. But not to worry, on certain tours, there are occasional restaurant meals and indoor stays.

Fully Supported and Family Adventure  Events The top level of support! Meals are catered. Luggage is hauled. Starry night camping for those into tents and motel options for those who aren’t. Water and snack stops along the route. Just enjoy the riding, the scenery, and the people to your front and back. These tours are larger in size (20–50 participants) and staffed by several tour leaders all looking out for you.

Education Not sure you’re ready to take the leap into full-on independent touring? Our Intro to Road and Intro to Gravel Touring & Bikepacking courses help you break down the basics. There’s some in-person classroom work before setting out as a group on a short self contained tour. We also offer Leadership Training Courses for those experienced in bike touring but want to start leading their own groups.

“This was my first organized multiday trip. I was traveling solo and I had a wonderful time. I could set my own pace and never felt rushed. The food was fantastic and there was lots of it! I can’t say enough good things about the leaders. I will definitely sign up for another one.” – Kelly, Tour Participant

Doing Good with Every Pedal Stroke 

Adventure Cycling is a nonprofit. Every Guided Tour purchase supports our mission of inspiring, empowering, and connecting people to travel by bicycle. 

For nearly 50 years, we’ve been researching and mapping one of the largest bicycle route systems in the world. And we’re not done yet. Our programs focus on making bicycle travel more accessible to more people through mapping short and long routes, hosting educational resources and events, and creating an open, supportive community for all riders.

All of our tours are listed below. If you have any questions, give us a call or reach out through our online chat. We’re here for you — because Your Adventure Awaits!

Testimonials

“ I’ve done a number of tours with Adventure Cycling and loved them all, but this was the best group I’ve been with. The people on this trip were just plain fun. I loved everywhere we got to see.”  — Jeff, Tour Participant “ I love the little towns, particularly Patagonia. Tombstone was interesting but did not get to see much of it. Bisbee is a fascinating and historic community. The roads were generally fine and not too busy. The terrain was sufficiently challenging, but not intimidating for this early season rider who was not in top shape.”  — Stephanie, Tour Participant

Bike Routes Across America: Top Touring and Bikepacking Routes Compared

bike tour america

By Alissa Bell : pedal-powered freedom seeker, 20k+ miles of bikepacking and touring on 6 continents

February 22, 2023

Updated: August 1, 2023

Bike routes across America: collage shows maps with 11 different routes compared

Is the idea of a cross-country bike ride brewing in your imagination? Whether it’s a faint spark of intrigue or a raging inferno of adventure-hungry obsession, one of the first decisions you’ll have to make as you investigate further is: what’s the best bike route across America for your goals and preferences?

The United States, as you may know, is vast and varied. We have majestic mountains, wild desert, endless plains, and abundant forest. We also have cities, highways, freeways, plentiful motor vehicles, significant cultural differences, and a complex web of transportation infrastructure in varying levels of (dis)repair.

Choosing a route for your bike ride across America is a matter of deciding which places you want to experience, what climates you prefer to ride in, the vibe you’re looking for, and how much tolerance you have for riding in traffic . For many aspiring cross-country cyclists it’s an overwhelmingly big decision, but my goal for this post is to help you make the best choice so you can get on with dreaming, planning, and eventually pedaling.

As an enthusiastic bike traveler (I’ve pedaled across the US twice, both west-east and south-north), recreational peruser of maps, and active member of the bikepacking and touring communities, I’m here to walk you through the major bicycle routes across America and help you choose the best one for you. Whether you’re an American looking to experience your home in a new way or a visitor excited to travel a foreign country under your own steam, I hope you’ll consider which of these routes offers the most of whatever you’re looking for.

bike tour america

When we think of a bike route across the United States, most of us picture the classic coast to coast journey. A west-to-east (or east-to-west) ride across America spans a staggering range of topography, climate, and culture.

Thanks to the longitudinal alignment of America’s major mountain ranges and historic colonization and migration patterns, a coast to coast bike route across the US offers the most complete and diverse picture of the country as a whole. You’ll experience the populated west coast, the expansive and less developed landscapes west of the Rockies, the flatter and windier midwest, and finally the more populated and history-rich eastern or southern states.

Our history in America is complex and often dark, interweaving threads of indigenous cultures, European colonization, westward migration, slavery and civil rights, and industrialization alongside our modern society. I learned more about my own country while biking across it, especially on my coast to coast ride, than I did in many years of history class.

If you’re allergic to motor vehicle traffic, I’ll warn you upfront that no coast to coast option is truly low-traffic. A couple routes have been developed with this goal in mind but they still have a long way to go. For a more peaceful and rugged bike route across the US you’ll need to choose one of the border to border bikepacking routes in the next section.

If a coast to coast ride sounds exciting, read on to compare five established bike routes across the United States from coast to coast.

Map showing five east-west bicycle routes across America

Northern Tier

bike tour america

Distance : 4290 miles Endpoints : Anacortes, WA to Bar Harbor, ME Surface / style : paved roads, with occasional short stretches of gravel or crushed limestone Traffic : moderate to high When to ride : May to September (Rockies must be crossed in summer) Longest stretch between resupply : 1 day max Avg climb per mile : 41 feet Total climb : 174,000 feet

Reasons to ride : experience the far north of the US, ride alongside impressive Lake Erie, see North Cascades and Glacier national parks and Niagara Falls, enjoy plenty of forests and greenery

This long and challenging cross-country bike route may seem, at first glance, to pass north of the “good stuff” closer to the country’s center. But the Northern Tier manages to cross four mountain range (Cascades, Rockies, Adirondacks and Appalachians), visit the incredibly scenic Glacier National Park and Niagara Falls, pass through interesting Amish country, and spend quality time in the plains, farmland, and lush forests along the way. It’s a pavement touring route on sometimes busy roads, but a few long sections of rail trail — such as 86 miles on the Erie Canalway Trail — offer some respite from traffic.

Great American Rail Trail

bike tour america

Distance : 3700 miles Endpoints : Washington, D.C. to La Push, WA Surface / style : ~50% bike paths of varying surface (paved, gravel, dirt), 50% mostly paved roads to cross gaps in the unfinished route Traffic : moderate When to ride : May to September Longest stretch between resupply : 1-2 days Avg climb per mile : ? Total climb : ?

Reasons to ride : support an ambitious long-term bike infrastructure project, spend as much time as possible (a bit over 50% of the route currently) on car-free bike trails, take a somewhat shorter and “easier” bike route across America (not that any route is actually easy!), see Yellowstone National park

Sometimes I see bike travelers asking about an actual “bike trail across America,” as if there’s a single unbroken line of car-free bike path across the entire country. I wish!! Currently there is no such thing, but the Great American Rail Trail project aims to create it. The full vision will take decades, but in the meantime you can follow this unfinished route by riding roads between sections of finished trail.

Currently the route links more than 125 existing sections of rail and canal trails, with especially long car-free segments on both the western and eastern ends. Often these trails are rich in historic sites such as old railroad stations and canal locks. Though only 53% of the route is currently on bike paths, more miles are being added every year and this is already one of the lowest-traffic bike routes across the US.

Cowboy Trail Nebraska

Bike Nonstop US

bike tour america

Distance : 3540 miles Endpoints : Portland, OR to Washington DC Surface / style : 80% pavement, 20% gravel, follows low-traffic backroads and bike trails where possible Traffic : low to moderate When to ride : May to September Longest stretch between resupply : 1-2 days Avg climb per mile : 30 feet Total climb : 106,200 feet

Reasons to ride : avoid busy highways as much as possible, spend time on rail trails and bike infrastructure, take a somewhat shorter and “easier” bike route across America (not that any route is actually easy!), see Grand Teton National park

This relatively new route was developed for a self-supported bikepacking race that premiered in 2019, but it makes a great cross-US bike tour route too. The goal is to provide a lower traffic alternative to the popular but increasingly traffic-heavy TransAmerica bike route and race (see below). Some details change each year as the route is refined, so be sure to check the event website for the latest version.

When I rode this route in 2019 about 1200 miles overlapped with the Great American Rail Trail project, including some lovely long stretches of car-free riding on the Cowboy, Ohio to Erie, GAP, and C&O Canal trails. This is currently one of the lower traffic ways to bike across the US coast-to-coast, but there’s still plenty of traffic to contend with in some sections.

TransAmerica Trail

bike tour america

Distance : 4215 miles Endpoints : Astoria, OR to Yorktown, VA Surface / style : paved roads Traffic : moderate to high When to ride : May to September Longest stretch between resupply : 1 day Avg climb per mile : 51 Total climb : 216,500 feet

Reasons to ride : participate in a legendary part of bike touring history, tackle a long and challenging cross-country route, take an extended route through the scenic Rocky Mountain region, see Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks

The TransAmerica bike route is the one : the classic bike route across America developed by Adventure Cycling back in 1976. It’s definitely not the easiest way to bike across the US thanks to its long mileage and plentiful climbing through the Rockies, Ozarks, and Appalachians. It’s also not the most relaxing or lowest traffic option; the roads have grown busier in the decades since its premier.

The TransAmerica route is a piece of bike touring history and offers the feeling of being part of a larger community. Services are frequent and people in towns along the route are used to seeing riders come through. You’ll probably meet other cyclists on their own cross-country adventures. There’s even a famous self-supported race that roughly follows the route each year in June. The winner usually takes around 2.5 weeks to ride this route, but most casual bike travelers will want at least 2.5 months!

Southern Tier

bike tour america

Distance : 2900 miles Endpoints : San Diego, CA to St. Augustine, FL Surface / style : paved roads Traffic : moderate to high When to ride : spring or fall (winter also possible, summer very hot) Longest stretch between resupply : 273 miles in Texas (most are shorter) Avg climb per mile : 35 feet Total climb : 100,000 feet

Reasons to ride : enjoy plenty of desert landscapes, spend some quality time in Texas (a third of the route’s mileage!), visit America’s deep south, ride across the US outside of the traditional summer window, cross the US in the shortest amount of time

At first glance the Southern Tier stands out for its logistical advantages: it’s the shortest coast-to-coast bike route across the US, and the only one that can be ridden nearly year-round (though summer gets hot) since it doesn’t cross any high mountains. If you only have a couple months during the spring, fall, or even winter and want to ride across the US from coast to coast, the Southern Tier is your route.

Though shorter in mileage than its cross-country peers, the Southern Tier route isn’t lacking in scenery or cultural interest. The western side is desert, impressively dry and vast. A full third of the route is in Texas, offering riders the chance to fully internalize the size of the largest state in the contiguous US. Riders travel through the deep south with its distinctive blend of culture, history, food, and music. Visit New Orleans and Cajun country, eat your fill of BBQ, and end your ride with the white beaches of the Florida coast.

Other Coast-to-Coast Bike Routes Across America

Still looking for the perfect cross-country bike route? Adventure Cycling has a number of shorter bike touring routes that will get you partway across the US, or you can link several together to create your own variation. A few ideas:

Western Express : The Western Express offers a shorter and more remote option from California through the deserts of Nevada and Utah, after which you could link up with the TransAmerica route in Colorado.

Route 66 : This route follows the historic highway route from southern California to Chicago, where you could link up with the Northern Tier or the Chicago to New York route to finish the cross-country ride.

To help you visualize these linkups and more, visit Adventure Cycling’s interactive route map .

bike tour america

RAAM : The Race Across America is a supported ultra-endurance bike race where cyclists pedal from coast to coast with the help of support teams and vehicles. Sometimes people ask if the RAAM route would make a good cross-country bike route for casual tourers. I haven’t ridden it, but word on the street is that it’s designed to be direct and fast, but not necessarily interesting or scenic. I would recommend not touring the RAAM route and instead choosing a route specifically designed for bike travelers.

Off-Pavement Bikepacking Routes Across America

It’s hard to avoid pavement while crossing the United States east-west by bike (north-south is easier as you’ll see below), but here are a couple routes that strive for a bikepacking-style experience on dirt and gravel roads. These routes require somewhat different bikes, gear, and skills than the touring routes above, so make sure you’re well-versed in bikepacking before choosing them.

TransAmerica Trail (off-pavement motorbike route): The TAT (no relation to Adventure Cycling’s TransAmerica Trail bicycle route above) is a cross-country route for the hardiest of bikepackers. Designed for dual-sport motorbikes, this challenging patchwork of dirt and gravel roads has been done on a bicycle, but not often.

The Pony Express : A relatively new project from Bikepacking Roots, the Pony Express route follows the historic mail route between St. Joseph, MO and Sacramento, CA on as much dirt and gravel as possible. Though it would be a dramatic style change, riders could link up with Adventure Cycling’s Eastern Express Connector and other eastern routes for a full cross-country journey.

Though most people picture a coast to coast ride when they think of bike routes across the US, don’t discount a border to border ride. These routes offer a more homogenous but still impressively varied “slice” of history (the “western frontier,” the east coast) and topography (the Rocky Mountains, the western coastline). They’re generally a bit shorter and a couple can be ridden outside the main summer season.

For folks who want a more relaxing ride away from motor vehicles, the bikepacking-style border to border routes offer the lowest-traffic ways to cross the US on mostly gravel and dirt backroads. There are also a few classic road touring options too. Read on for a comparison of six major routes.

Map showing six north-south bike routes across the United States

Pacific Coast

bike tour america

Distance : 1853 miles Endpoints : Vancouver, BC to Imperial Beach, CA Surface / style : paved roads Traffic : moderate to high When to ride : spring or fall preferred (summer has heavier traffic, winter can be rainy) Longest stretch between resupply : 1 day max Avg climb per mile : 57 feet Total climb : 106,300

Reasons to ride : see marine wildlife and coastal views, bike across the Golden Gate Bridge, ride the scenic Big Sur coastline, swim in the ocean (especially in southern California), meet other bike travelers on this popular route

The Pacific Coast route is a classic and popular border to border bike route down the western coast of the US known for its long stretches of coastal scenery, beachfront hiker / biker campsites , and the especially rugged and scenic coastline around Big Sur. Logistically it’s an easier fit than many other cross-US routes. It’s the shortest in mileage and can technically be ridden year-round, though winter can be rainy and summer is peak tourist season. The traffic on this route can be heavy, so it’s best for riders with a fair amount of road biking confidence.

Sierra Cascades

bike tour america

Distance : 2441 miles Endpoints : Blaine, WA to Tecate, CA Surface / style : paved roads Traffic : moderate to high When to ride : June to September Longest stretch between resupply : 1-2 days Avg climb per mile : 80 feet Total climb : 195,200 feet

Reasons to ride : roughly parallel the Pacific Crest Trail through many scenic highlights; tackle a challenging route with lots of climbing; see North Cascades, Mt. Rainier, Crater Lake, Lassen Volcanic, Yosemite, King’s Canyon and Sequoia national parks; ride through the Lake Tahoe region; visit the Mojave and Anza-Borrego deserts

One of the more challenging and mountainous road bike routes through the US, the Sierra Cascades route aims to roughly parallel the classic Pacific Crest hiking trail on paved roads along the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges. It has a very high scenery-to-miles ratio as it visits stunning six national parks, Lake Tahoe, and multiple state and national desert preserves. It’s also high on small town charm and good layover spots, as it passes through Bend (bike and beer paradise), Ashland (home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival), and many small mountain towns.

In exchange for all the highlights, this route demands good climbing legs and a willingness to deal with traffic, including tourist traffic on narrow mountain roads.

Western Wildlands

bike tour america

Distance : 2700 miles Endpoints : Canadian border at Roosville, MT to Mexican border near Sierra Vista, AZ Surface / style : mostly gravel and dirt roads, some pavement Traffic : mostly very low When to ride : June to September Longest stretch between resupply : 3-4 days Avg climb per mile : 68 feet Total climb : 185,000 feet

Reasons to ride : tackle a rugged and challenging bikepacking route on mostly low-traffic unpaved roads; enjoy plentiful wild camping opportunities (nearly 70% of the route is on public land); ride through vast and remote landscapes; ride a relatively new border-to-border bikepacking route only finished a few years ago; see six national parks and monuments including the Grand Canyon

The Western Wildlands Route (WWR) is a newly developed project linking up dirt and gravel backroads across large swathes of public land west of the Rockies. Starting at the Canadian border in Montana it passes through forested mountains of northern Idaho and arid plains of southern Idaho, follows the spine of Utah across several high timbered plateaus, descends to red desert and pine forests in northern Arizona and Navajo Nation, and finally touches the Sonoran desert before ending at the Mexican border.

This route is very rugged and remote compared to all the others mentioned so far, so bikepacking experience, a suitable bikepacking bike , and repair skills are recommended. You’ll need space for 3-4 days of food and, at times, 8+ liters of water while keeping your gear list minimal enough for big burly climbs. In return you’ll enjoy days of quiet riding, vast empty spaces, and many nights of free dispersed camping alone in the middle of nowhere.

The Western Wildlands Route is comparable in many ways to the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (see below), but newer and less popular, and a bit more difficult. Riders who prefer that “off the beaten path” feeling will prefer the WWR, while those who want a sense of history and belonging should consider the GDMBR.

Great Divide Mountain Bike Route

bike tour america

Distance : 3090 miles (2480 in the US) Endpoints : Jasper, Alberta to Antelope Wells, NM Surface / style : mostly gravel and dirt roads, some pavement Traffic : mostly very low When to ride : June to September Longest stretch between resupply : 3-4 days Avg climb per mile : 69 feet Total climb : 213,300 feet

Reasons to ride : experience one of the most legendary bikepacking routes in the world; ride roughly along the Continental Divide through the Rocky Mountains; enjoy many nights of free wild camping on public land; cycle in peace on mostly low-traffic unpaved roads

The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR) is to off-pavement bikepacking what the TransAmerica route is to road touring: a legendary classic. It travels from deep in Canada (though you can start at the border) all the way south to the Mexican border roughly parallel to the Continental Divide. It follows mostly low-traffic gravel and dirt roads, with some pavement and a bit of trail mixed in. A famous bikepacking race called the Tour Divide heads southbound on this route each June, but it’s also an incredibly popular touring route for more leisurely bikepackers.

The GDMBR is comparable in style, scenery, and difficulty to the Western Wildlands Route mentioned above, but much more popular and richer in bikepacking history. Those who want to feel part of a community will enjoy the GDMBR, while those who prefer a sense of striking out on their own might prefer the WWR.

Eastern Divide

bike tour america

Distance : 5950 miles (4644 in the US) Endpoints : Cape Spear, Newfoundland to Key West, FL Surface / style : 70% gravel and dirt roads and trails, 30% pavement Traffic : mostly very low When to ride : September to November are ideal for fall riding, though spring and summer could also work Longest stretch between resupply : ? Avg climb per mile : 53 feet Total climb : 315,000

Reasons to ride : enjoy low traffic and abundant nature on a rugged route that’s 60% off pavement; ride “the longest contiguous off-road-centric bikepacking route in the world”; be one of the first to try this brand new route; experience the unique character of the eastern mountains

The brand new Eastern Divide route isn’t for most people, but if you fancy the longest, hardest, newest, and least-ridden route across the US then it’s perfect for you. The first thru ride was recently completed in October 2022 by Eddie O’Dea and sounds like a massive undertaking.

The full route crosses a couple remote Canadian provinces before traveling the length of the eastern continental divide through the Appalachian Mountains and down the length of Florida. Though the eastern coast of the US is much more developed and urban than the middle and west, the Eastern Divide attempts to create a peaceful and nature-heavy riding experience while still remaining connected to the many communities it passes.

  • Official route resources (bikepacking.com)

Atlantic Coast

bike tour america

Distance : 2656 miles Endpoints : Bar Harbor, ME to Key West, FL Surface / style : paved roads Traffic : moderate to high When to ride : May to October Longest stretch between resupply : 1 day max Avg climb per mile : 28 feet Total climb : 73,840 feet

Reasons to ride : ride through an area rich with early American history; enjoy quaint New England towns; pass through or near a number of significant American cities; cool off at Florida’s beaches

The eastern counterpart to the Pacific Coast bike route, the Atlantic Coast route is longer and has a very different feel from the west coast. America’s early history is on full display as riders follow the Eastern Seaboard through quaint New England towns and through or near major American cities like Washington, D.C., New York, and Boston. Further south the route passes through southern coastal cities like Savannah and Miami and offers opportunities for beach swims on hot days.

The full can be ridden from spring through fall and the southern part is feasible year-round, making it a good option for folks who need to ride outside the traditional summer season. Like the other road touring routes from Adventure Cycling, you’ll need a willingness to deal with motor vehicles but will also enjoy some quieter stretches on small roads and bike paths.

  • Atlantic Coast ride journals (CGOAB)

Future Border-to-Border Bikepacking Routes

These aren’t real yet, but you can start dreaming about them now:

Great Plains Gravel Route : On the above map of border-to-border bike routes across America, the middle of the country stands out as a glaring gap. The Great Plains Gravel Route project aims to fill that gap with a 4000+ mile gravel route designed by the organizers of several endurance gravel races. It’s still in the works, but organizers hope to unveil it with a race in late 2023.

Orogenesis : This ambitious dream is still very much a work in progress, but Bikepacking Roots’ Orogenesis project aims to build the longest mountain bike trail in the world. The route would roughly parallel the Sierra Cascades road touring route described above, but on as much mountain bike singletrack and rugged dirt road as can be found. The goal is to create a “more or less uninterrupted line for 5,000 miles along the western lip of the North American Tectonic Plate”, extending all the way into Mexico on the already popular Baja Divide route.

Maybe you want to see a specific part of the US or visit someone in a place not touched by any of these cross-country routes. Can you design your own bike route across the US?

You certainly can, but the biggest challenge will be figuring out which roads are safe and legal for bicycles. Though America has many roads that are lovely for biking, we also have many that are narrow, shoulderless, and flowing with fast traffic. Many of the big interstate freeways are legally off-limits to bikes, and they would be miserable places to ride anyway. When designing your own route you’ll need to plan ahead in order to avoid cornering yourself in a place that’s hard to safely bike out of.

The United States, as you probably know, is big! Our infrastructure varies widely and options will depend on where you are. If you want to bike across Wyoming on paved roads you’ll be riding the highways for days. In Illinois you can hopscotch along a grid of agricultural roads adjusting your route as you go. In general there are fewer route options west of the Rockies, and once you choose one it will be harder to reroute.

If you do find yourself creating your own route, whether across the country or just for a few miles, here are some tips:

  • Use apps like Komoot and Google Maps bicycle mode to identify bike paths and bike-friendly roads.
  • The Street View feature in Google Maps can show you exactly what a stretch of road looks like, so you can get a sense for the shoulder and the amount of traffic. Be careful making assumptions about traffic based on a single snapshot in time though; this feature can tell you if a road looks busy but can’t necessarily assure you it’ll be quiet.
  • If you find yourself stranded on a dangerous section of road, don’t be afraid to hitchhike or beg a ride. I’ve met some lovely people this way, and possibly saved myself from a nasty accident or at least a very stressful ride. Even if it throws off your schedule or seems like a hassle, it’s always smart to find an alternative to an unsafe ride.

If you’ve read through all those fabulous bike routes across the USA and still can’t decide, ask yourself these questions:

How much traffic can you tolerate? If cars stress you out, you may struggle to enjoy a route like the TransAmerica. With the appropriate bike and skills you might find a border-to-border bikepacking route like the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route or Western Wildlands Route more relaxing. If you really want to ride coast to coast, consider the Great American Rail Trail or Bike Nonstop US route.

Do you prefer more or less development? If you prefer frequent towns and services, well-equipped campgrounds or motels, and lots of civilization along the way, you’ll probably enjoy the routes through more developed areas like the Atlantic Coast, southern portions of the Pacific Coast, and eastern portions of any coast-to-coast road touring route. If your idea of paradise is a quiet wild campsite in the middle of nowhere, choose an off-pavement bikepacking route like the GDMBR or WWR (it’s cheaper too since dispersed camping is free). For road riders seeking a bit more peace and quiet, the Southern Tier and Sierra Cascades routes both offer longer stretches of less developed land.

What time of year can you ride? Any route that crosses high mountains will have a riding season of late spring to early fall, with the highest passes only open during the summer when the snow is gone. Riding outside this window ranges from unpleasant (weather can be hazardous and services may be closed) to completely impossible (some roads are closed seasonally). This affects all coast to coast routes except the Southern Tier, and the interior border to border routes (Sierra Cascades, WWR, GDMBR, ED). If your schedule rules out a summer ride your best choices are the Southern Tier or Pacific Coast, or perhaps the Atlantic Coast depending on timing.

How much time do you have? The longer bike routes across America take most people around three months to fully enjoy. If you don’t have that much time, you’re probably better off with one of the shorter routes: the Southern Tier for coast to coast or one of the border to border routes. Of course it’s possible to ride faster, and some people do, but you need to either be very fit, very focused, or both. Most people prefer a schedule that allows time for side trips, rest days, and general enjoyment of whatever opportunities come up on such a long and unpredictable trip.

Community vibes or the road less traveled? If you enjoy meeting other cyclists, staying in cyclist-friendly lodging, and generally feeling part of a larger community, consider a classic and popular route like the TransAmerica, GDMBR, or Pacific Coast. If you prefer the feeling of striking out on your own perhaps a newer route like Bike Nonstop US, the unfinished Great American Rail Trail, Western Wildlands, or even the Eastern Divide will be more exciting for you.

What kind of scenery is on your must-see list? Are you a mountain lover? The Sierra Cascades and Great Divide Mountain Bike Route spend lots of time up high, and the TransAmerica does pretty well for a coast to coast route thanks to its longer path through the Rockies. Desert rats should consider the Southern Tier or Western Wildlands. Folks who like the coastline will get their fill on the Pacific and Atlantic Coast routes.

There you have it: a comparison of eleven established bike routes across America. Which one gets you excited to hop on your bike, point it toward the other side of the country, and start pedaling on the adventure of a lifetime?

Self Guided Cycling Trips in USA & Canada

Cycling through Pt.Taillon National Park along Lac St. Jean, Quebec

The key benefits to self-guided cycling tours in North America are their flexibility and affordability.

As the name implies, a self-guided cycling trip in the United States or Canada trip means that you guide yourself, which allows you the complete flexibility of setting your own daily travel agenda. Start the day when it suits you and stop to admire attractions for as long as you desire.

Supported with luggage transfers, detailed route descriptions and maps to assist with navigation, self-guided cycling trips will provide you with a heightened connection to your chosen destination in the US or Canada, immersing your senses in the sights, sounds, and tastes of the destination.

After a day of cycling, you’ll find your luggage has been transferred to your next accommodation, typically charming two, three, or four-star hotels or inns that embrace the local flavour and style. With modern 21-speed bicycles or electric bikes supplied, you’ll feel the wind in your hair in no time at all!

Most or our North American self-guided cycling trips require only two people to operate and since we transfer your luggage for you, take care of all the accommodation and bike details, you can leave all your worries behind on the pavement and simply focus on the ride ahead to fully soak up the delights of your chosen pocket of the United States or Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

what is a self-guided cycling trip.

Our wide range of self-guided itineraries across the USA and Canada have been designed to afford you as much freedom as possible to explore what interests you, at your own pace. We take care of the logistics: we supply you with lodgings in charming inns and B&B’s, mountain huts, and 2, 3 and 4-star hotels chosen for their location and local flavour; we provide route maps and information about sites you can visit; we generally include daily breakfast, packed lunches during remote hikes, and often dinner; we organise for your luggage to be transferred daily; on cycling trips we supply rental bikes – typically modern 21-speed bicycles, with the option to upgrade to electric-assisted (ebike) models.

? How fit do I have to be for a self-guided cycling trip?

Fitness is an important aspect of our trips, with each itinerary carefully-graded for ease of selecting the trip that best suits you. Detailed information, including suggested pre-trip training, can be found in the trip notes and pre-departure information. We recommend that you familiarise yourself with the physical requirements of your trip and speak to our staff if you have any questions. View our trip grading system for more detail as to how we grade the activity levels on our adventures and the suggested physical preparation.

? I’m a solo traveller, can I join a self-guided cycle tour?

On a number of our self-guided tours, transfer services are shared so you will meet others along the way and need only pay the cost of covering single room accommodations. On select self-guided tours which operate using private transfer services, we offer Solo Friendly departures; Solo travellers can sign up on these departure dates and we will match them up with other solo travellers. And, for those who are happy to go it alone, there is an option to pay a solo traveller supplement for private transfer services and accommodation throughout. Please check the trip notes or ask one of our agents for more details.

? Are tips included in my trip price?

Tips and gratuities are not included in the trip cost, unless listed under the trip-specific inclusions. Tipping is customary in the USA and Canada but is a completely personal thing. Guidelines are provided in our pre-departure information upon booking.

? What is included in my trip?

It is our aim to ensure that we incorporate as many inclusions as possible in your trip to minimise any out of pocket expenses while you are away. It is important that you refer to our trips notes for the exact inclusions. On most trips, all meals and arrangements are included from the start of the trip right through until the end.

? Do you have family friendly self-guided cycling trips?

Each family is unique in their interests, abilities, and composition. Many of our self-guided tours are appropriate for families with up to two or three children who are physically active and are experienced with the outdoors. Child discounts are listed, where this is possible given the exact tour itinerary and are generally based on a maximum of 2 children sharing a room with 2 full paying adults. Our guided, small group adventures are typically geared toward adult travellers, but we sometimes make exceptions for mature, exceptional children (12 and older) who are accompanied by an adult. Bottom line: Please ask! If our advertised itineraries and pricing do not suit your family, we are happy to customize a tour just for you.

? Can I bring my own bike?

You are welcome to bring your own bike, if you are up for the challenge of transporting it to your tour destination. If you choose to bring your own bike, be sure you notify us well in advance of your trip and we will let you know if any discounts are possible for that specific tour. We do recommend using the bicycles that are included in the tour package as they are good quality bicycles suited for the terrain on which you will be cycling. The majority of our bicycle rentals are replaced each season and we are always sure to tune them up between uses, so you can feel confident in their performance.

Discovery & Cruising

These are our least demanding trips. These journeys of discovery and cruises involve little or no extended activity and are suitable for people with a basic level of fitness and good health. The itinerary may take place in remote areas (with basic facilities) and may involve long travel days on various types of transport. Sightseeing may be conducted on foot and all participants should be capable of carrying their own luggage from vehicle to hotel rooms. These adventures rarely involve camping.

Adventure Touring

These adventure tours may visit remote areas where facilities are often basic. Some of these trips involve camping or basic lodging. These adventure tours will sometimes involve long journeys and rough roads. Sightseeing and optional day walks are often included and these days may involve up to 5 hours of physical activity.

These trips involve trekking or walking, cycling, or paddling for up to five or six hours a day at a slow but steady pace and should never be misinterpreted to mean they are easy trips. Hikes are mainly on well-defined trails with undulating terrain and cycling is on mostly flat surfaces.

These trips involve a combination of what is described in our Introductory and Moderate levels. The emphasis is on introductory activity with some moderate components. Hiking trips typically require carrying a daypack only, but could involve carrying a pack of up to 20 pounds (9kg), depending on personal gear.

These adventures involve trekking, cycling, or paddling for up to 6 or 7 hours a day at a steady pace. Many moderately graded hiking trips involve the carrying of a daypack only, though some may involve carrying a backpack of up to 30 pounds (14kg), depending on personal gear. Hikers should be prepared for plenty of roots, rocks, significant elevation gain, wilderness camping, and potential variable weather conditions. Cyclists should be prepared for undulating terrain and some steep hills.

Moderate to Challenging

These trips involve a combination of what is described in our Moderate and Challenging levels. The emphasis is on moderate activity with some challenging components. Hikers should be prepared for very rugged off-trail hiking, significant elevation gain, wilderness camping, and to carry a pack weighing up 45 pounds (20kg), depending on personal gear.

Challenging

These adventures involve trekking, cycling or paddling in remote areas in variable weather conditions for up to 8 to 10 hours a day (possibly more subject to weather conditions and altitude). Hikers should be prepared for very rugged off-trail hiking, significant elevation gain, wilderness camping, and to carry a pack weighing up to 45 pounds (20kg), depending on personal gear.

These journeys of discovery and cruises are suitable for people with a basic level of fitness and good health.

Suggested preparation: Once or twice a week, we recommend you walk on undulating terrain for an hour, for at least 2-3 months prior to departure.

To enjoy these adventures, we suggest you are reasonably fit, healthy, have a moderately active lifestyle and have a positive attitude.

Suggested preparation: Two or three times a week, we recommend you walk on undulating terrain for an hour or more, for at least 3 months prior to departure.

Our introductory trips are not ‘easy’ trips and you will need a reasonable level of fitness and good health.

Suggested preparation: 30 minutes of aerobic exercise (either cycling or jogging) three times a week for 3 months leading up to your trip.

On these adventures you will need a good level of fitness and be in good health.

Suggested preparation: We recommend 45 minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week from a minimum of 3 months leading up to your trip. This can include swimming, jogging, hard walking or cycling. For hiking trips, hill or stair walking with a 15lb daypack is highly recommended at least once per week.

These adventures require a good level of fitness and be in good health.

Suggested preparation: 1 hour of aerobic exercise, three to four times a week and extended periods of exercise during the weekend. This can include swimming, jogging, hard walking or cycling. For hiking trips, hill or stair walking with a full day pack is strongly recommended at least once per week (or a 30lb pack for backpacking trips).

These trips require an excellent level of fitness and be in good health.

Suggested preparation: 1 hour of aerobic exercise, four to five times per week for three to six months leading up to departure. Hill walking with a full pack in variable weather conditions or on/off road cycling is essential.

On these adventures, you will need to be completely comfortable in adverse weather conditions, have an excellent level of fitness and be in good health.
