About us
Graveloo is the encyclopedia of gravel cycle tourism. The site collects all the information on the most important itineraries, cycling trends and news regarding gravel bikes. Anyone can contribute to its growth by filling out a simple form to enter a new itinerary, an accommodation facility or an association that deals with gravel. Gravellar has never been easier.
Graveloo was born in 2021 with the idea of bringing together all the best routes for gravel bikes in a single site.
This type of bicycle seems like a novelty but it re-proposes, in fact, the old way of doing sports and traveling by bicycle. When the roads were all dirt and asphalt was not very common, the “gravel” bike was the only way to get around: steel frame, comfortable saddle and generous wheels. Doesn’t that sound like today’s gravel description? Obviously with all the technical improvements that have occurred over the years.
Gravellar, therefore, does not only mean taking a ride with a gravel bike but, rather, choosing to adhere to a new philosophy of cycling and being part of a tribe: the tribe of gravelists. A group of cycle travelers who decide to do adventure cycle tourism where each ride is an exploration in itself, halfway between game and race, adventure and discovery. Gravel cycle travelers like surprises but not too much.
Graveloo is a collection of the best gravel bike routes with the link to the GPS track, technical information and information on cycle tourism for your gravel bike holidays. The itineraries we publish are suitable for a day trip, for a weekend or for a longer cycling holiday of 1 or 2 weeks. We give you the links, you do the rest.
use the search bar to find the best gravel bike routes and choose your cycling destination. For example, you can simply type the name of the region or city (Radicofani, Berlin, Beijing, New York, etc.) or just the region (Tuscany, Yorkshire, Camargue, etc.) or, if undecided, the nation, the continent or the geographical area (Europe, Italy, Asia, South America). You could really find many surprises and information you are looking for to organize your gravel holiday.
Graveloo is free. Our goal is to help you organize your gravel bike trip and those who work in the cycling sector to be more visible. For fairness to those who organize the gravel bike routes, we put the direct link to their website or social page in order to help every single project or company. We are looking for partners and sponsors who want to help our project and make the initiative sustainable.
