The gravel spirit
Our story
Following his experience at a Giant Store in Alsace, Jérémie decided to make a living from his passion for cycling and embarked on the Alsace Gravel Bike adventure, a bike rental agency near Colmar that rents Welt brand non-motorized gravel bikes.
Alsace is a perfect region for gravel riding with its countless trails through vineyards, across plains, through forests, and in the Vosges Mountains. With a gravel bike, you can ride anywhere, explore charming Alsatian villages, ride through vineyards and along the wine route, or zip along mountain trails. All this in complete freedom and without the fear of cars.
Are you discovering gravel riding for the first time or are you an experienced cyclist? Whatever your level, Jérémie will be happy to share his experience and knowledge of the terrain to recommend a route that matches your abilities and desires. It is up to you to follow his advice or to be seduced by the many possibilities that gravel riding in Alsace offers.
The gravel spirit
A little bit of history
Gravel biking originated in the United States in the early 2000s, on the vast plains of the Midwest, where cyclists sought to ride long distances, alternating between roads, dirt tracks, and trails.
A hybrid between road cycling and mountain biking, gravel biking quickly established itself as an answer to the need for freedom, versatility, and simplicity. Its development has exploded in Europe since the late 2010s, driven by the rise of bikepacking and bicycle touring.
A different vision
The spirit of gravel riding is first and foremost one of accessible adventure, without the pressure of performance. It prioritizes the pleasure of discovery, connecting with nature, a deliberate slowness, and exploring off the beaten track. It's a friendly, open, and relaxed discipline where everyone rides at their own pace, without a stopwatch, simply for the joy of the ride.
