While the area may be best known for being a hotbed for athletes across the globe, make sure that you experience the challenging climbs for yourself before taking in the sweeping views of these largely untouched islands.<\/p>\n<p>With stunning weather all year round, as well as a wealth of history and culture waiting to be explored, there\u2019s every reason to make these islands your next cycling destination. So whether you\u2019re enticed by the home-from-home <a href=\"https:\/\/optimavillaslanzarote.com\/\">villas on Lanzarote<\/a> or the locally sourced cuisine on Tenerife, the Canaries are the perfect place for a holiday that combines cycling with sun.<\/p>\n<h3>No. 2: The \u2018Big 5\u2019 haven of Zambia\u2019s National Parks<\/h3>\n<p>While Zambia may be most famous for the big 5 due to the country being home to lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalos and leopards, with the 19 national game parks also boasting hyenas, vultures and migratory bats, there\u2019s no shortage of wildlife here.<\/p>\n<p>For a mountain biking route that\u2019s like no other, Kasanka National Park\u2019s annual cycle challenge is not to be missed. With the event taking place on a free-flowing single track traversing the park\u2019s pristine woodland, this route ensures that cyclists can get up close to some of Zambia\u2019s most diverse habitats. And with routes ranging from 5 km to the more challenging 45 km, riders of all abilities can enjoy the area\u2019s breath-taking natural beauty.<\/p>\n<h3>No. 3: The Vietnamese coastline<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23407\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23407\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hqcg9Q\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"23407\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/5-incredible-natural-cycling-locations\/vietnam-coast\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg?fit=750%2C422&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,422\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Vietnam coast\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Vietnam is arguably one of the best destinations for both biking and beaches&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg?fit=750%2C422&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-23407 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg\" alt=\"Vietnam is arguably one of the best destinations for both biking and beaches. 5 Incredible Natural Cycling Locations\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23407\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"23407\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/5-incredible-natural-cycling-locations\/vietnam-coast\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg?fit=750%2C422&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,422\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Vietnam coast\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Vietnam is arguably one of the best destinations for both biking and beaches&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg?fit=750%2C422&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-23407 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg?resize=750%2C422&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Vietnam is arguably one of the best destinations for both biking and beaches. 5 Incredible Natural Cycling Locations\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg?resize=250%2C141&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Vietnam-coast.jpg?resize=320%2C180&amp;ssl=1 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Vietnam is arguably one of the best destinations for both biking and beaches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Best known for its intensely beautiful coastline, Vietnam is arguably one of the best destinations for both biking and beaches.
