Cycling in Gothenburg
- Ask for Christian
- Trailforks
- Strava
Gothenburg is one of Sweden's best destinations for cycling. Both for mountain biking with a huge range of trails, but also for those who want a base for a couple of days of road cycling. If you are going out and touring, you have the Swedish and Kattegat trails near the hostel.
No matter what type of bike you bring, you are welcome to us. We are cyclists ourselves and our ambition is to become the given accommodation for us cyclists. With us you will find a locked bicycle room with mechanic stand and tools. You can bring a dry and clean bike to many of the guest rooms and you can borrow wheel covers to take in a damp bike. Rinse your bike on the outside and use the laundry and drying room for your clothes. We also have four of Gothenburg's best bicycle workshops within 3 minutes' pedal distance.
Mountain biking in Gothenburg
Gothenburg is a real trail mecca with perfect topography to create cycling terrain with a lot of variety. There are also several really large contiguous forest areas where you can cycle all day without crossing your own tracks. We are next door to Änggården, where enduro competitions sometimes take place. Here is challenging cycling no matter what level you are at. You are also close to Stigcentrat Delsjön and the enduro paradise Lackarebäck. As well as awesome areas for xc cycling, such as Sandsjöbacka and Vättlefjäll. You can find a lot on Trailforks or in apps like Strava. Feel free to ask for Christian at the reception, who drives a lot in these areas.
Road cycling
Here you have a really good starting point for varied rounds. You have good cycle paths both to the north and south and a large selection of smaller roads that wind their way along the coast and inland. There are also some tough climbs if you want to get your pants up. The training will be easier if you have beautiful views to distract yourself with, so we can recommend driving to eg Marstrand or Tjörn / Orust.
Choosing Gothenburg as a base has invaluable advantages. After a hard workout, you can finish with an afterbike in our sauna and then continue out to a large selection of restaurants and entertainment. Or just hang out in our living room with the friends.
Start your cycling holiday here
Gothenburg is a really good place to start and end your bike rides. You can unpack equipment in peace and quiet and finish the bike, to start the next morning rested and measured. You can leave boxes and packing that should not be on the trip. The Sweden Trail passes by on the street below us and the Kattegat Trail a few steps away. Even if you come in a group, we can solve storage of bicycles in the rooms, or in our fully equipped bicycle room. We are happy to guide you on how to get around the city and where to find the best service.
Rent a bike here
The best way to explore the city is from the bicycle saddle. You can reach most things within a reasonable walking distance and do not have to worry about parking when you arrive at your destination. If you have not chosen to bring your own bike, we have a selection of simpler bikes for rent. The level of equipment varies a lot and so does the number of gears, but they are all in good working order.
