Why is Tasmania famous for cycling?

Tasmania has earned a reputation as one of Australia's premier cycling destinations thanks to its quiet roads, breathtaking scenery and extraordinary diversity of terrain.

Within a single week, cyclists can ride beside dramatic coastlines, through ancient forests, across alpine plateaus, into rolling wine regions and along some of Australia's finest gravel roads. Add low traffic volumes, clean air, excellent road surfaces and welcoming country communities, and it's easy to understand why Tasmania continues to attract cyclists from around the world.

Unlike many destinations, Tasmania rewards exploration. The roads less travelled often become the most memorable.
