Bike tours · SUNRISE & SUNSET BIKE RIDES
Good sunrise & sunset bike rides fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Meet your guide in North Asheville for a small-group sunset e-bike ride through Asheville’s hills and neighborhoods. Guides such as Dave, Eric, Leslie, Brando, and Jordy share local stories, help with the climb, stop at Grove Park Inn for photos, and finish at a local brewery.
“Jordy was a great tour guide! Saw some amazing scenery, gave us some history, and visited the Grove Hotel. I will definitely do this again when I visit!”
Spend about 10.5 hours cycling 30 to 35 kilometers through Siem Reap’s flat countryside, eating a Cambodian lunch, and cruising from Kampong Phluk at sunset. A guide such as Phearon or George leads small groups, with hotel transfers, water, snacks, and vehicle support included.
“This was advertised as a trip to the train market and floating market for a half day. What it turned out to be was driving around stopping at a Buddha in the extreme heat , then waiting for a train in the heat, standing on a train for 40 mins and Read more”
Start at 4:30am for Angkor Wat sunrise, then ride 15 to 25 kilometers on easy backroads through woods, villages, and temple grounds. Guide Chayy may offer a single-track route to lesser-seen ruins. Bikes, helmets, water, a cool towel, and support transport are provided.
“Loved riding through the woods , past the reservoir and on the temple wall. Sunrise was beautiful though we had some clouds.”
Ride from Phnom Penh across the Mekong by ferry, follow quiet island lanes past farms and villages, visit Prek Bongkong Pagoda and a silk-weaving center, then board a private boat for sunset on the Mekong and Tonle Sap. E-bikes are available.
“The tour gives a very nice insight into life on the small island. The tour is completed by the ferry crossing and the return journey on a private ship. I was particularly impressed by the visit to the small silk production. However, one suspects how life will change here if the bridge is built at some point.”
Start at Cyclexperience beside Brockenhurst station at 5pm for a two to three-hour sunset ride through the New Forest. Groups are limited to four, and you receive a well-maintained bike, repair kit, lock, route advice, and access to the route app.
“Very helpful and friendly team and full of great advice with plenty of bike to suit all.”
Gravel or tarmac, a motor or your own legs, a guide or a route on the phone.
