Bicycle touring through Monterey County: Pacific Coast Bike Route and other routes

Above: Bikepacking is second nature to Rob Smolund, who we met biking Garden Road, Monterey in October 2024. Rob has biked from Oakland to San Diego eleven times since about 1982. He had just spent a couple nights in Big Sur.

Throughout the Bicycling Monterey website, our thousands of original photos showing people biking in many Monterey County include many visitors who are touring by bicycle.

Bicycling Monterey’s social media posts sometimes include touring cyclists too, and those may or may not be featured on this site as well. Below is a sampling.

The first three links below go to Bicycling Monterey photos we posted on our @BikeMonterey Instagram account.

This mother and son below, from Australia, met Bicycling Monterey’s founder in downtown Monterey on July 9, 2016. They appreciated her answering questions about biking in Monterey County, in neighboring Santa Cruz County, and more. They were also glad to learn that Bicycling Monterey’s bicycle maps section includes links to maps for other parts of California too, since they were also biking to Fort Bragg and other points north.
