Cycling holidays are more popular than ever! And the good news is that more and more of you are combining this way of travelling with home exchanges.

So Iā€™m putting out a call to all HomeExchangers who live near a cycling route, whether itā€™s a EuroVelo route or a regional cycle path:

  • share the link to your listing in the comments

  • let us know where you are located

  • which cycle route is easily accessible from your home

  • and what kind of accommodation you offer to cycling HomeExchangers (private room, entire home, etc.)

This post will be featured in the next edition of the Gazette. Itā€™s a great opportunity to give visibility to your home and your welcome for cycle tourists! :slightly_smiling_face:

Letā€™s go!

IMPORTANT

Only people who have created an account on HomeExchange can access your listing on the site and app. Anyone else will not have access to your photos, your homeā€™s location on the map, your calendar, your profile or your reviews - this is only visible to HomeExchange members.
However, as the information published in this category of The Forum is public, we strongly recommend that you do not share any information here that could compromise your privacy.

Welcome to Ghent: a dream destination for cycling lovers!

Our home is the perfect base for discovering Belgium by bike. Ghent is located in one of the countryā€™s most beautiful cycling regions, with easy access to both flat scenic rides along rivers and nature reserves, as well as more challenging routes towards the Flemish Ardennes.

From here, you can ride along the famous roads of iconic races such as the Tour of Flanders, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Gent-Wevelgem .

Some famous cycling spots nearb y:

  • Oude Kwaremont ā€“ approx. 45 km

  • Paterberg ā€“ approx. 47 km

  • Koppenberg ā€“ approx. 40 km

  • Muur van Geraardsbergen ā€“ approx. 55 km

  • Oudenaarde town center (heart of the Tour of Flanders region) ā€“ approx.35 km

For sporty cyclists, these are fantastic day rides following in the tracks of the professional ride rs.

Prefer a more relaxed ride? There are many beautiful recreational rou tes:

  • along the river Lys (Leie) towards Deinze and Sint-Martens- Latem

  • along the Scheldt towards Gavere and Oude naarde

  • through nature areas such as Bourgoyen-Osse meersen

  • via cycling junction routes to charming villages, castles and local b reweries

Ghent itself is also a true cycling city, with safe bike lanes, lively terraces and countless places to stop along the way.

Guests have access to the entire house, which offers plenty of space and comfort after a long cycling day. The house has 3 large bedrooms and 1 smaller bedroom, accommodating up to 7 guests. There are also 2 bathrooms, as well as a private garden with a terrace and BBQ ā€” the perfect place to relax and enjoy the evening after a g reat ride.

Several bike rental shops are nearby, and both road bikes and e-bikes are easy to rent. Whether you are an avid cyclist or simply enjoy relaxed bike rides, Ghent is the perfect place to experience Belgium on two wheels.

Bike the Washington DC area from our home in Alexandria Virginia. Scenic, paved trails connecting urban landmarks to suburban nature, headlined by the 45-mile W&OD Trail, the scenic 18-mile Mount Vernon Trial (just a few blocks from our home), Four Mile Run Trial, Capital Crescent Trail and the urban Arlington Loop. House with swimming pool in Alexandria, United States - Cecile and Keith's place

@cecemines, what a great idea for anyone visiting Washington! Just a heads-upā€”the link you shared goes to the HomeExchange homepage, not your listing, so people wonā€™t be able to contact you. Cheers!

I love Belgium, especially Bruges and Ghent! The cities are beautiful, the chocolate is excellent, and in Ghent, thereā€™s the Joost Arijs pastry shop, one of my favorites in Europe! If youā€™re traveling there, donā€™t miss trying itā€”the pastries and chocolates are exquisite.
Iā€™m going to save your home to my favorites for the next time we visit! :wink:

We live in San Francisco, CA on The Wiggle. This is a short bike route that connects our neighborhood to car free JFK Promenage in Golden Gate Park which connects by bike lane to the Presidio of San Francisco. The Presidio is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. You can bike over the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County, home of both road and mountain biking.
