I’ve been wanting to share the best bicycle touring Instagram accounts for some time, but it’s always so hard to choose only a handful when there are SO many great accounts out there. Although this seems like a simple list, I’ve spent hours ensuring that these accounts are exemplary and therefore worth your follow!

Don’t know much about Instagram? Well, it’s a social media platform that focuses on instant visual gratification. I’m a sucker for it; you’ll probably be a sucker for it too. The brilliant thing about it is that you can see lots of inspiring photos, based on topics you like, in quick succession. You can also search hashtags based on specific wording to find images from certain locations, events or categories.

My criteria for selecting the best bicycle touring Instagram accounts include:

Image Diversity – I enjoy a wide range of photographic styles from each user.
Consistently Great Content – Given the sheer number of Instagram accounts, every photo needs to be awesome.
Regular Uploads – It’s preferable to have a slow drip-feed of imagery, rather than a bulk upload.
Engaging Blurbs – Although Instagram is all about the imagery, a short engaging blurb is a cherry on the top!
