A few top holiday trends for 2012 – in Europe, many are still having to keep close tabs on their finances due to the recession so cheap holiday destinations are going to be big this year. Currency is one things to think about – does the country use the expensive Euro or is there a currency that can be bought cheaper, helping you get more from your money? This factor has helped Turkey surge in popularity as it uses Lira rather than the Euro. Croatia and Eastern European countries are also set to be popular this year. More established destinations like Spain, America and france will likely see a small loss in market share as cheaper countries increase in popularity.

With Boris Johnson and his bikes popping up all over London, it makes you wonder if there are cities that are slightly more bike friendly that London, with our incessant traffic and heavy pollution. An if you are a cycling fan, then why not include it in your holiday?

Curitiba, Brazil - Widely considered to be one o the best planned city in the world, Curitiba is also voted one of the best places to live in the country. Bicycles are one of the most common modes of transport with the locals, and the city was voted the Globe Sustainable City Award in 2010.

Bogota, Colombia – with only thirteen percent of citizens owning cars in the city, bikers are far more liked than bikers in London. People need transport, and the bike is the most popular form here.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands – a very flat country, it lends itself more to cycling that the more hilly cities across the world. Nearly forty percent of workers commute on their bikes, and you can easily rent a bike in public and dock it again somewhere further along the lines. Most visitors opt for bikes as their first mode of transport, and as such Amsterdam is a very eco and bike friendly city.

Montreal, Canada – recently having invested millions into revamping the city, Montreal expanded the number of bicycle friendly lock points, for citizens to cycle with ease and not worry about their bikes. It also has the first urban bike share programme in North America, providing over five thousand bikes.
