Olympic legacy expected to see sharp rise in cycling holiday booking

Aug. 31, 2012 - PRLog -- The London 2012 Olympics was inspiring in many ways, from the amazing athletics performances to the medals in sailing and rowing. But one sport in particular had us glued to the television and that was the cycling. Bradley Wiggins bringing home the Gold following his Tour de France win, followed by the Ladies Team Pursuit Gold and of course, Sir Chris Hoy’s stunning performance has meant cycling has instantly gained a renewed popularity, particularly as it is a sport that easily accessible for kids and adults alike. Everyone from the very young to the very old have been inspired to get out on their bikes this summer and cycling’s popularity has even extended to guided cycling holidays for all the family.

Activity holidays are already a popular way for singles, couples and families to enjoy their favourite sports in some of the best destinations around the world and cycling tours are becoming a part of the new holiday trend. The experts in cycling holidays, Wheel2Wheel, promotes cycling as a great activity as it is healthy, relaxing and allows you to see destinations first hand.

Wheel2Wheel specialises in cycling holidays throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe, with a vast selection of guided and self-guided tours along some iconic routes. Holidays can cater to all abilities, so you don’t have to be an experienced cyclist, however, if you do fancy a more challenging tour you can opt for some extreme mountain biking or a more vigorous trail.

All routes are pre-planned with accommodation arranged in advance. The team at Wheel2Wheel work with local cycling experts across Europe so you get the inside knowledge on the best places to stop or secret trails off the beaten track to explore.
