Biking Around Tucson
Spin Your Wheels
Whether you're training for a long road race, looking for exciting new mountain challenges or enjoying leisurely rides with the family, Tucson is perfect for biking fun.
We have hundreds of miles of bike friendly roads and dozens of trails from easy to highly technical. In fact, Tucson has been ranked by Bicycling magazine as one of the top cycling cities in the U.S. And with our mild climate and mostly sunny skies, almost every day is perfect for a ride any time of year. Our road cycling and mountain biking pages contain a plethora of information on Tucson cycling. Visit some of our local cycling clubs' websites under the Useful Links (right) to find out more information about Tucson's cycling opportunities.

Bill Walton loves riding his bike in Tucson.
Read this testimonial from Bill after he rode the 2011 El Tour de Tucson:
We were just in Tucson for one of the best things that I’ve ever done—your fabulous Tour de Tucson 2011, and I wanted to write to say THANK YOU. We are so appreciative –of EVERYTHING. It was exhilarating to participate, and to celebrate what we love so dearly with so many thousands of other celebrants. Plus, I had the additional privilege on riding my bike on alternate days in some of the other regions of your spectacular metropolis—particularly both major sections of the Saguaro National Park.
Thanks for empowering us; thanks for making our dreams come true; I love Tucson more than ever now. Thanks for having us, thanks for helping us to roll on forever and thanks for allowing us to enjoy the ride.
I LOVE MY BIKE, and now I love El Tour de Tucson. Let’s work together to see how we can make it even better.
Thank you,
Bill Walton
