Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Medan à Deli Tua

Kick off your ride in Medan, the bustling capital of North Sumatra—famous for its colonial architecture and beloved street food. Your 23 km spin takes you mostly along quiet roads, perfect for soaking up the local sights without too much traffic hassle.

You’ll head south, cruising out of the city and into more laid-back neighborhoods. The ride is mostly flat, with only a gentle 50 meters of climbing, so it’s pretty easy on the legs. The surface is a mix—mostly unclassified, but you’ll hit some stretches of classic Indonesian asphalt and paved roads.

After about an hour and a half at a relaxed pace, you’ll roll into Deli Tua, a growing suburb known for its markets and friendly, local vibe. It’s a nice contrast to lively Medan, and a great spot to unwind with a local coffee or snack before looping back or catching a ride home. Enjoy the scenery, say hi to a few locals, and don’t forget your camera!
