A fun and affordable way to escape the everyday rat race is to travel by bicycle. There are a number of online travel agents that cater for cycling holidays, so search for one that services your area.
A good website to start your holiday planning, though, is Hooked On Cycling.
This is where you can take your cycling break this autumn.
Wachau, Australia
The Danube Valley is both scenic and tranquil, and dotted with fortresses, monasteries and abbies which tell the stories of days gone by.
A 40km trip along the river is considered by many cyclists as the most picturesque section of the Danube, and you can look forward to vineyards, forests, orchards, pastel-shaded houses and an area steeped in history.
The Medieval Villages of the South West of France
Cycle through the vineyards to the west of Albi, towards wine-making county, Gaillac, then head north through the picturesque rolling countryside.
Visit the beautifully preserved bastide villages, including the hill-top Cordes-sur-Ciel, and get a glimpse of what life was like in the Middle Ages.
This is the perfect mini-break for you and your lover or friends. And with temperate weather and scenic surrounds, this is France at its best.
Trentino, Italy
A cycling paradise awaits you as you explore the white peaks of the Dolomites and the crystal-clear water of Lake Garda.
The hotels along the route will provide you with comfortable accommodation, while sumptuous food will sustain you during your trip.
