Cycling in Seychelles exists primarily as a recreational and community-based sport, with limited but organized competitive structure. The country’s small size and coastal road network make cycling practical for fitness and transportation, particularly on Mahé, the largest island. While Seychelles does not have a large professional cycling presence, there is a national cycling federation that supports local races and regional participation within African competition pathways. Road cycling is the dominant discipline, as mountain biking infrastructure is modest and track facilities are not prominent. Events tend to be locally organized and community-driven rather than large international races. Because of Seychelles’ compact geography and scenic coastal routes, recreational cycling remains visible, especially among residents and expatriate communities. Cycling is present and organized, though it operates on a smaller scale compared to larger African cycling nations.
