Ekilib : The Québec Cycling Travel Agency
Ekilib is a cycling travel and cycle touring agency based in Québec that has been organizing tours since 2001, in Europe, Québec, South America, Asia and North America.
Our job is to find the right roads, the right accommodations and the right partners so that you have nothing else to worry about but pedalling. Self-guided, group, bike-and-boat or custom-made: Each trip type is designed by people who ride themselves and know the regions they offer.
We work with cyclists of all levels. Whether you are planning your first cycling trip or have been taking on alpine passes for twenty years, the level of care remains the same. That is the difference between an agency that offers a few cycling trips and a team that has done nothing else since 2001.
Our story
Ekilib was founded in 2001 with a clear intention: to offer cycling trips that are accessible, structured and deeply human. Here, cycling becomes a true art of travel, a simple, and well-designed way to discover the world, without performance pressure.
Over the years, the company developed routes in Europe and Québec and refined a renowned expertise in cycle touring. The integration of Sur La Route, around 2008, broadened the offering with more committed itineraries designed for athletic cyclists seeking a moderate challenge. A pioneer in self-guided and bike and boat formats, Ekilib remains a passionate team that evolves with consistency, faithful to its mission: making the world accessible by bike, at everyone’s pace.
Our mission
Making the world accessible by bike.
The cycling we offer is not about performance or exploits (although some of our itineraries will make the most enduring cyclists smile). It is cycling as an intelligent means of transportation for discovering a region: its roads, its villages, its food, its people.
Each route is designed so that the mileage leaves time to stop. And so that the organization (luggage, accommodations, assistance) is solid enough that you have only one thing to do: ride!
What sets us apart
Routes Designed by Cyclists
The cycling we offer is not about performance or exploits (although some of our itineraries will make the most enduring cyclists smile). It is cycling as an intelligent means of transportation for discovering a region: its roads, its villages, its food, its people. Each route is designed so that the mileage leaves time to stop, and so that the organization (luggage, accommodations, assistance) is solid enough that you have only one thing to do: ride.
An Organization Designed for Cyclists
A cycling trip rests on details: the right distance between two stages, a hotel that can truly accommodate a bike, a route that avoids overly busy roads.
Since 2001, we have built our tours with these details in mind. That is what makes it possible to ride with peace of mind, day after day.
A Network of Partners on the Ground
In every region, we work with partners we have known for a long time. They manage mechanics, transfers, and on-site assistance.
They are not anonymous subcontractors: they are people we have chosen and with whom we have developed a relationship of trust. You do not always see them, but this discreet network is what makes everything work on the day you are in the saddle.
Cycling, a Good Start for the Planet
Travelling by bike means moving without flying between stages, without air conditioning, without highways. We go a little further: local accommodations rather than international chains, nearby suppliers, and an annual contribution to the Fonds Plein Air 1% for the Planet.
