Biking in Gotland

Seeing Gotland by bicycle is extremely popular. It is a traditional way of touring in Gotland and more and more foreigners are discovering the joys of such a holiday. The island is small enough to be easily seen but at the same time, big enough to make your bicycle trip enjoyable without seeing the same sights over and over again. There are no cycling packages so to speak but there are places hiring out bicycles and equipment.
