Cycling for Softies

Directions Website

Cycling for Softies Savour the Journey & Unwind in Style Cycling in France, Italy and the UK the Softies way. We have since expanded our product to Italy and the UK.

Over 40 years ago, when we first began, we were the only company offering to help non-cyclists discover the delights of rural France on two-wheels. Now, our address book bulges with the most welcoming, individual, luxurious, charismatic, historic, professional hoteliers in France, Italy and the UK. One night you'll be fine-dining in an opulent chateau, the next you're dining en-famille on the terrace, wiping away tears of laughter as you accept another glass of their homemade digestif. The cycling is not the holiday, it's the excuse. It is the glue that binds together all members of your party as you bask in the sunshine, bicker over the map and issue a collective 'Wheeeee' as you whizz down the hills. It is the reason you can have pudding.
