More Brits are going on cycle holidays than ever before

France is not longer the top destination for cycle holidays - now
25 per cent more people choose to visit Slovenia instead.

According to new figures from Wheel2Wheel Holidays, more cyclists
are visiting Slovenia for an active holiday than ever before -
making it of their top performing destinations of the year so
far.

Steven Rittey, of Wheel2Wheel, commented: "Slovenia is Europe's
newest active outdoor playground and offers great value for money
as a holiday destination. There are few destinations which allow
you to explore the whole of a country in just over a week. In
Slovenia it's easy to see everything in a short space of time
from the countryside to the coast.

"At the moment we are currently seeing more bookings for Slovenia
than the traditional destinations such as France, Italy and
Spain. Easy access to the capital Ljubljana and its central
European location make Slovenia convenient to visit and remains
one of the better value euro countries."

On the whole, cycling holidays have been getting more popular
with the British public: almost half of UK households now own a
bike and more people than ever are using bikes as a means to get
around.
