The Bike in the Pyrénées-Orientales is an important issue for sustainable development. It is both a means of developing and revaluing tourism that takes into account the environment, and building infrastructures that create new activities related to the bicycle.

Bike travel is a non -polluting alternative that contributes to the respect and development of the environment. It is a simple and inexpensive way to keep fit while enjoying the privileged sunshine of the Pyrénées-Orientales [ first ] .

Review Véloce-Sport: French velocipédie organ published in 1889 a bicycle hiking route between Aude and the Pyrénées-Orientales, ranging from Quillan to Caudiès-de-Fenouillèdes. Although described as picturesque, the journey requires, with the bikes of the time, to frequently descend from the saddle [ 2 ] .

In 1894, Édouard de Perrodil, already known for having produced Paris-Madrid by bicycle with Henri Farman in 1893, established a new record by connecting Perpignan to Marseille in twenty-three hours and twenty-three minutes [ 3 ] .

Twenty-five arrivals of the Tour de France took place in Perpignan between 1910 and 1938, almost every year, the city being located in a corner of the map at a time when the journey of this cycling event really made the turn of the country. Among the stage winners in Perpignan at that time, we find Jean Alavoine (four times), Eugène Archambault, André Leducq, Georges Paulmier or Charles Pélissier. In comparison, the Tour de France has only spent ten times in the department since 1947 [ 4 ] .

The 3rd stage of the 2017 Spanish Tour is starting in Prades.

In 2008, the departmental network was completed 25% and had:

Still in development, the network will cover the 3 valleys of the department and the coast by its completion, scheduled for 2012 [ 7 ] . There will be interconnection to the national network of the Interministerial Development and Competitiveness Committee of Territories [first] and European Foxes with

Part of the network is still being planned:

Vélittorale corresponds to the route n O 8 «Mediterranean Route» you project Foxes with , ultimately connecting Athens to Cadiz (5,388 km ) [ 13 ] .
