Guadeloupe has some of the best biking terrain in the Caribbean. Cycling has become a popular sport and is a good way to see the countryside. Guadeloupe hosts the Tour de la Guadeloupe every August, which is one of the world's major cycling events. Vacationers will find that bike and motor scooter rentals are readily available, making it easy to enjoy the islands' great outdoors.

Many of Guadeloupe's local people, as well as tourists, travel the island by bike or motor scooter. Cycling has grown popular on Guadeloupe and its neighboring islands, especially in flat areas like Grand-Terre, where bicycle rental shops are easy to find. Travelers should be cautious when navigating the streets of Guadeloupe by bike or scooter, since islanders tend to drive with a purpose: to get where they need to go as quickly as they can.
