Five tips for cycling
- Bikeapproved - we are a Bikeapproved destination with many accommodations where you can wash your bike, lock it overnight and get help with service and anything else that may be needed. All around the Bjäre Peninsula you will also find our Bikepoints where you will find useful cycling information, a map, water and a bicycle pump. You can find these at Banvallen in Grevie, at Malenbadet in Båstad, in the harbor in Torekov, Cirkle K in Förslöv, Hotel & Restaurant Hovs Hallar and on Båstad Camping. Should you need more service, you will find it Radness Bicycle Service in central Båstad.
- Reverse signs make cycling both more fun and safer. On three slopes in central Båstad you will find our new slope signs both up and down. Then you know what challenge awaits, slope and length, and also that you need to take it a little more slowly down.
- Take the opportunity to enjoy swimming, harbor life, good food and tasty coffee during your bike ride. It's not something we skimp on in Båstad, the enjoyment of life!
- Explore the entire Bjäre Peninsula and Hallandsåsen and get the best of everything. Beautiful lush forests up the Lyavägen, unbeatable views over Laholmsbukten on one side and the Kattegatt on the other, flowing, picturesque roads in the middle of the peninsula through small villages interspersed with open landscapes. Bonus tip: Don't miss late spring when the rape fields bloom!
- Rent a bike on site. Most hotels rent out bicycles and for example RentBike can deliver the rental bike to exactly where you want it. Ridge Cycling can help with guidance and tips for road cycling in Bjäre, but also mountain biking.
