Demand for cycling holidays increasing
According to Justin Francis, co-founder of responsibletravel.com, whether staying in holiday villas in Bulgaria or country cottages in France, travellers are increasingly demanding for more access to bikes whilst on holiday.
He said: "We are seeing more and more people consider their everyday transport and commuting options so it makes sense that travellers are starting to hop on a saddle when on holiday too.
"Cycling is a fantastic way to explore a destination. You are more likely to interact with local people and appreciate local scenery. It's also much easier to get off the beaten track by bike."
Mr Francis hailed the success of bikes saying his company had received an 86 per cent increase in the number of enquiries for cycling holidays in the last year alone.
A poll conducted by the company revealed that 58 per cent of people would love to cycle more on their holidays but find that bikes are not always available.
Apart from being good for conserving the environment, biking was also "a great way to work of the holiday excess", he said.
