Why cycling in Croatia should be at the top of your holiday bucket list

Croatia is an unspoiled region of Europe – perhaps one of the last. Its authenticity, relaxing pace of life, high quality hospitality, beautiful and varied landscapes combine to make it a fantastic holiday destination.

Top tips on bike rental in Corsica

If you are planning a cycling holiday on Corsica this year, here are some top tips on bike rental in the area from Europe Active – the adventure cycling tours expert.

Be organised

It is best to be organised for your bicycle holiday on Corsica. The ‘Isle of Beauty’ is a fabulous location for cycling. It is a real ‘get away from it all’ place, and because of that it doesn’t have a cycle hire shop on every corner, (thankfully). So you need to think ahead to prepare for your Europe cycling tour. Will you take your own bike? Will you hire a bike? What kit will you need?

What to look for when choosing a helmet and gloves

If you do any cycling, it’s essential that you wear the best cycling helmet possible.  If you cycle any distance, like on a cycling holiday, then you’ll be more comfortable if you wear gloves.

There’s a lot of choice out there –  so the team at Europe Active – the bicycle holidays specialist – have put together a handy guide to help you choose the best cycling helmet and gloves for you:
