The travel agency adds that taking to two wheels is just one type of travel option which looks set to grow in popularity this year and in the future.

Black Tomato co-founder Tom Marchant said: “With the slow travel movement and rise in more mindful travel, it’s no surprise that we’re seeing an increase in inter-country travel via bike and we predict this will rise in line with the current and future trend of people seeking more active and skills-based holidays as well.”
