Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Ryga do Ķekava

This scenic cycling route takes you from the heart of Riga, Latvia’s vibrant capital, down to the small town of Ķekava. It’s about 27 km long—perfect for a half-day adventure. Most of the ride is on smooth pavement and asphalt, with plenty of designated cycleways, so you’ll have a comfortable and safe journey for nearly the whole way.

Starting in lively Riga, you’ll zoom past some urban scenery before transitioning to quieter residential and countryside roads. The terrain is mostly flat, with just a gentle rise and fall—no tough climbs here! There’s a tiny bit of cobblestone, giving you a taste of old-school Latvia, but it’s brief.

Ending in Ķekava, you’ll find a cozy town famous for its chicken processing plant (Latvia’s largest!)—don’t be surprised if you spot some giant chicken statues on the way in! Great for those looking for a relaxed ride out of the city and into laid-back local life.
