Big Bang Mixed-Surface Cycling Routes

A collection of 7 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

A casual collection of rides linking quiet roads, tracks, and cycleways, mostly paved with some gravel and cobbles. Expect an easygoing vibe: plenty of quiet roads, a mix of regular roads, a few tracks, and short cycleway sections, with only tiny bits of busy road and pedestrian areas. Surfaces lean asphalt and concrete, with patches of cobblestone and gravel—wider tires (35–45 mm) make it comfy. There’s no fixed start or finish, so jump in anywhere and ride a loop or a segment. Elevation rolls enough to keep it fun without being brutal. Perfect for all-road and gravel bikes, confident city bikes, or commuters who like detours. Check local access on tracks, slow through pedestrian zones, and watch for loose gravel or wet cobbles. Download the map for offline use and enjoy the mix of smooth pavement and crunchy side paths.
