Affiliate disclosure & transparency policy

At Wheely Tyred, we believe in absolute transparency. Our core mission is to champion slow travel, independent cycling adventures, and local authenticity—steering clear of mass-market tour buses, generic tourist traps, and corporate travel brochure jargon. To keep our editorial independent, deeply researched, and entirely free behind our paywall, we partner with select affiliate networks.

This page outlines how we fund our work, who we partner with, and our unwavering commitment to editorial integrity.

How our affiliate links work

When you read our guides, route plans, and gear reviews, you will occasionally encounter links to booking platforms, transport providers, and outdoor gear specialists. If you click on one of these links and make a reservation or purchase, Wheely Tyred earns a small commission—at absolutely no extra cost to you.

We primarily utilise the TravelPayouts travel partnership platform to manage our booking integrations. Through this network, we connect our readers directly with leading global travel services.

Our TravelPayouts partnership & services

By partnering with TravelPayouts, we integrate a comprehensive suite of travel booking tools across our digital guides. Every service available through the platform is utilised to help you plan your journey seamlessly:

• Accommodation & Stays: From boutique eco-lodges and rural guesthouses to city apartments and cycling-friendly hotels (via partnerships managed through Hotellook and Booking.com)
• Flights & Air Travel: Comparing carriers, routes, and regional connections to help you reach your starting point (via Aviasales and airline aggregators)
• Car Rentals & Overland Transport: Securing vehicles, campervans, and regional transit options for self-drive expeditions and remote trailheads
• Travel Insurance: Recommending comprehensive coverage options tailored for cyclists, hikers, and independent international travellers
• Tours, Excursions & Activities: Booking verified local guides, day tours, and cultural experiences that align with our slow-travel ethos

Our editorial independence guarantee

The most important asset Wheely Tyred possesses is your trust. Our affiliate relationships never dictate our editorial recommendations. There is no pay-for-play — brands cannot pay for placement in our guides, roundups, or reviews
