U.S. Cycle Tourism Market Size To Reach $67.32 Billion By 2033

U.S. Cycle Tourism Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. cycle tourism market size is expected to reach USD 67.32 billion by 2033, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is growing steadily, driven by greater health awareness, better cycling infrastructure, and the rise of e-bikes, which make longer routes accessible to more people. The shift toward sustainable travel also supports this trend, while large events like RAGBRAI and Cycle Oregon continue to attract thousands and spark wider interest.

Expanding major bike corridors such as the Great American Rail-Trail, Pacific Coast Bike Route, and East Coast Greenway makes long-distance cycling in the U.S. safer and more attractive. For example, the Great American Rail-Trail is now over 55% complete, offering more than 2,000 miles of rideable paths across the country.

Cycling appeals to eco-conscious travelers as a zero-emission, low-impact mode of transport that reduces carbon footprints and supports sustainable tourism. It encourages slower, immersive travel and stronger connections with local communities. In response, U.S. tourism boards and local governments are expanding bike paths, developing trails, and partnering with businesses to promote cycling as a sustainable travel option.
