Modern cycling

Monaco is home to around fifty professional cyclists, including Tadej Pogacar, Primoz Roglic, Chris Froome, Nairo Quintana, Peter Sagan and Matteo Trentin. They appreciate the fine weather that allows them to train all year round, as well as the varied terrain in the surrounding area, such as the demanding ascent of the Col de la Madone (almost immediately adjacent to the Principality), which attracts time-trial specialists as well as sprinters, climbers and puncheurs.

Monaco has one professional cyclists : Victor Langellotti, who came from Monaco Cycling Union's (UCM) rank.

The UCM, founded in 1952, has 150 members. It is the only club affiliated to the Monegasque Cycling Federation, which was founded in 1985. The Monaco Cycling Union also organises the annual Cycling Criterium at the Rainier III Outdoor Swimming Stadium (Port Hercule).

The Principality organises Monaco Beking every year: a festive event that brings Monaco-based professional cyclists together with amateurs and families to promote cycling (races, family activities, conferences, etc.) and support charitable causes.

Between 2016 and 2021, the Prince’s Government has also organised the "Cycling Sunday" event (as part of European Mobility Week): a friendly event for all ages, with the aim of reclaiming an area usually occupied by cars (with educational workshops, operations to raise awareness of soft mobility and road safety...).

Since 2025, the Princess Charlène Foundation has been promoting cycling and sustainable transport through a family-friendly event featuring fun and educational workshops, known as Road Safety Day.

Monaco has almost 6km of cycle paths (in an area of just over 2km²). It has its own electrically-assisted bike-sharing scheme, Monabike, with almost 50 stations throughout the Principality (775 connections) and more than 400 self-service bicycles (almost 2,300 subscribers and more than 600,000 registered journeys by 2023).
