Who are Red Spokes
Red Spokes began life in 1990 as a collective of cyclists who specialize in riding remote and spectacular roads in secluded sections of the planet. As a direct result of these experiences we decided to begin taking small groups of friends and acquaintances to areas that offer not only fantastic cycling, but also immense cultural interest.
The success of these tours has prompted us to start a small company with the aim of bringing this type of exciting and rewarding trip within a price range that we, as seasoned travellers, think is reasonable. Without cutting any corners on safety or (where possible) comfort, our tours are informal, and designed to cover areas that we as cyclists, have enjoyed immensely.

Why Red Spokes
At Red Spokes we are committed to ensuring that our tours not only support the local economies but also respect the local cultures. We do this by employing local guides and drivers, staying mostly in family run accommodation and where possible building relationships with the local communities.
Ensuring that our trips make as little environmental impact as possible is also essential to Red Spokes. We welcome travellers who like us wish to promote better understanding and awareness among people from different cultures and backgrounds.
With Red Spokes you will be travelling in small groups averaging 12 people (not exceeding 16). We feel that this is important because it causes as little environmental damage and disturbance as possible, whilst making it easier to make genuine contact with local people. We have also found that in smaller groups it can be easier to develop a sense of camaraderie and friendship with your fellow travellers. |
