There are trips to suit every fitness level, from riding through the Italian and French Riviera, to Canada's wildlife-rich Icefields Parkway, and the volcanic island of Jeju off the southern tip of South Korea. As we grow more anxious about our planet, author Andrew Bain offers cycling trips as one way to minimise our environmental impact while on holiday. If that wasn't enough, there are also the added benefits of improving your fitness and becoming more immersed in your surroundings. Now has never been a better time to see the world by bike.

Andrew Bain discovered cycling the easy way, on a 14-month, 20,000-kilometre bicycle journey around Australia. He's since pedalled across large parts of Europe, Asia, North America and New Zealand, and continues to trundle across the roads and trails of Australia. He once spent five months towing his children across Europe in trailers. He's the author of Headwinds, the story of his ride around Australia, and his travel writing has won multiple awards. He continues to dream of cycling, well, everywhere.
