Cycling in Mallorca!

When it comes to bike you have 2 options, either bring your own by plane or rent it.

Airlines like Ryanair, Vueling, Airberlin, ThomsonAirEuropa, BritishAirways etc... may be charging you around-ish 60 $ to check-in a bike for the flight. Better off you check terms and conditions of every airline you fly with, as some of them require to know you want to take your bike with you at least 2 months before departure.

Second option is more handy, you rent your bike! You may be renting bikes from 7 $ a day to 115 $ a day.
You can choose among a wide selection including race, trekking, road-fitness, city and mountain bikes.

Here is a list - short - of some rent-a-bike:

Berganti

Veska

Belori

For the laziest ones we have scooter rentals =)





What to do? Longboard!

On the north-west part of Mallorca island, you can find Palma de Mallorca city and from there to 16 miles south until El Arenal you have a wonderful segregated cycle facility which works perfectly for bikes, roller skates and blades, skateboards... and longboards!

We use a relatively cheap  Globe longboard, that is a fine and dandy skate! 
                                   
                             
Here is a short video my cousin and I did in veeery bad weather conditions:



Cheapest way to fly around Europe & get to Mallorca!



The cheapest way is ''to fly Ryanair!'':

1 - They have ridiculously low prices, even for 10 $ you can purchase a ticket - taxes included!
2 - You have a 10 Kg bag allowed in the cabin, for an extra ...
     ... 15/20 Kg to be checked-in is 15.46/25.76 $.
3 - But beware! They will charge you 50 $ at the boarding gate/check-in desk if:
      - You don't print your boarding pass yourself before the check-in desk...
      - Your bag is oversized and/or you bring a second bag at the boarding gate...

Food and drinks onboard are quite expensive - 4 $ for 1/2 l bottle of water, for example ...yet, nobody compels you to buy food onboard and not at the terminal. You can bring your own food from home, if you wanna keep it cheaper.
In Europe there are many other companies, but this one beat them all. So, go on Ryanair to fly to Mallorca!!!
