This sounds amazing for cycling at night. Wouldn't it be great to have something like this in the UK Walk Wheel Cycle Trust? 🚴😀

In the Netherlands, a remarkable glow-in-the-dark cycling path pays tribute to Vincent van Gogh’s iconic Starry Night. Created by Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde, this one-kilometer route is located in Brabant, the region where Van Gogh spent his early years.

The trail combines art, sustainability, and technology by using solar-powered LEDs and light-reflecting stones that soak up sunlight during the day and shine brightly at night. The illuminated design recreates the swirling, dreamlike patterns of the famous painting, offering cyclists both a safe guide and a visually stunning experience.

As part of the Smart Highway initiative, this innovative project showcases how infrastructure can be both functional and artistic while promoting eco-friendly solutions. It stands as a unique celebration of Dutch culture and a must-visit destination for cycling and art enthusiasts alike.

WHAT DO WOMEN WANT FROM CYCLING HOLIDAYS?

In our experience women typically want a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere. The ability to ride at their own pace and the opportunities for social connection and wellness activities. Local knowledge, scenery, and great cuisine takes preference over speed and distance.

Many women prefer a women-only tours, where they can build confidence, ask questions, and learn new skills without pressure to keep pace with mixed-gender groups. The desire to go at one's own pace and not feel rushed or like they are holding up the group is a common need. Trips with multiple route options and regrouping cafe stops are highly valued.

A fulfilling holiday often includes downtime for relaxation. This can involve yoga, paddleboarding, sauna time and wild swimming. Comfortable beds are an essential.

Opportunities to connect with like-minded women, form new friendships, and share the experience enhance the holiday.

Our Guided Lake District Holiday in 2026 ticks all the boxes. Please follow the link or find the 2026 tab on our website to find out more...

We'll be cycling along here again in 2026 on our Cycling Weekend in the Yorkshire Dales ❤🚴

Ancient drystone walls and field barns are defining features of the Dales landscape - shaped over thousands of years by people and nature. This view is from the edge of Grass Wood (Grassington) looking in the direction of Conistone.

This 70 metre (230ft) high, cliff of white limestone has amazed visitors for centuries because of is sheer scale.

It's swamped by tourists at weekends, but if you're joining us on a midweek cycling holiday in the Yorkshire Dales we might be able to incorporate it on one of our routes 😉🚴

5 OF THE BEST CYCLING HOLIDAYS IN THE UK

My first cycling holiday in the UK was around 8 years ago shortly after joining Breeze the UK's biggest programme ever to get more women riding bikes for fun and fitness.

I have enjoyed annual cycling holidays ever since. You could say, I got a taste for it and my annual cycling weekends became almost as important to me as my family holidays.

In 8 years of cycling holidays just one holiday was abroad and interestingly, we experienced the worst weather that year in Majorca. We were approaching the Luc Monastery when some locals advised us to head back down the mountain, because torrential rain was coming and to cycle through it would feel as though we were cycling down a river on slick tyres. Yikes! We followed their advice and sheltered in Pollenca while the storm to passed. It certainly added a bit of drama to the whole experience!

While this has certainly not deterred me from cycling abroad, I am more inclined to book longer breaks to factor in the ever changing weather patterns. Also, there are still so many beautiful regions that I haven’t yet explored yet, right here, on our doorstep in the UK.

Based in Yorkshire, Seafern Adventures is perfectly placed to offer cycling holidays that enable our guests to explore the Yorkshire Dales, the Yorkshire Coast and the Cumbrian Lake District. It is no surprise that these feature on our list of the best cycling holidays in the UK, along with...

1. Yorkshire
2. Lake District
3. Scottish Highlands
4. Northumberland
5. Cornwall

HOPE YOU HAVE HAD A GOOD WEEKEND 😀

Ladies over 50, this post is for you…
I’m not sure if it was the lions mane mushroom curry, the 8 am lie in or the wild yam cream that I lathered on my upper arms last night but this morning I woke up energised for the first time in a long time!

An hour on the bike for a 14 mile spin and I was chasing the birds in flight and grinning like a Cheshire Cat. I even got a grin back from a Tesla driver. Way to go!

By showing the joy outwardly maybe the emotion many drivers feel when they see us cyclists will be envy rather than frustration??? Give the Cheshire grin a try fellow cyclists, because I’m sure it at least peaks the curiosity of those that haven’t discovered the joy of 2 wheels yet. Plus it’s lovely when people can’t resist smiling back 😃

What else makes you grin like a Cheshire Cat?
