Cycling routes that'll take your breath away

by Tim Cheung

If you're anything like us, any major sporting event makes you feel compelled to go out and play that sport. So it was that with the finale of the Tour de France last week.

You may not be able to speed pedal 200 kilometers, but why would you when some of the best cycling routes in the world pass through such beautiful scenery?

Here are 10 of world's best bike routes for cyclists who either are up for breaking a good sweat or simply seeing the world without leaving an ugly carbon footprint behind.

1. The Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia


If you like a challenge, take on this 243-kilometer windy road along Australia's south-eastern coast. If a day is all you’ve got, take the 60-kilometer route from Torquay to Bells Beach.
