How we chose them
From every ride we publish around Strasbourg, these are the ones that meet all of:
- at least 60 km in all
- at least 200 m of climbing
- at least 70% on bike paths and the quietest streets
The numbers come from OpenStreetMap and terrain data, measured along each route by our engine (how rides are made). They are modelled, not checked on the ground, and say nothing about who should ride them: you know your riders best.
Before you go
- Mont Sainte-Odile spends about a sixth of its distance on busier roads; the share is in the table.
- Obernai and Molsheim have railway stations if you want to ride one way; check the rules for bikes on the train.
