    Hi and welcome. I love Maderia, been there loads of times. On one trip we took a helicopter ride from the harbour around the island. Great place, you are lucky there are some lovely roads on the island.

    Edit: Mind the toboggan run is overated. We were excited about doing it and were disappointed when we got down. Still one off the bucket list.

    yeah totally overated because these days its a short ride, back in the day you will go down the hill almost to sea level, but the ride was too dangerous. they shortened to half.

    yeah madeira have great roads and landscape that make bike ridding great. Not to mention we have sunny weather and good temperature all year long. i am ridding today actually, and could ride it at midle of the day wearing a tshirt.

    glad to know that people actually know that Madeira exists heheheeh

    sorry forgot to say nice bike but from my times spent there not very usual as I seem to recall seeing mostly small 2 strokes and scooters.

    If I remember correctly there are millions of bends (most of which have big drops on the outside) and next to no straights on Madeira.

    sounds perfect!
