To celebrate 200 years of the bicycle, we have created an infographic portraying the changes in design throughout the years – from the first-ever bike, the ‘Dandy Horse’ running machine in 1817 to the high-wheeler Penny Farthing in 1878 and the modern e-bike that’s still used today. Which one is your favourite?
Our carefully planned walking and cycling holidays in locations all around the world let you explore at your own pace, with time to take in the local culture, history and nature along your route. Hand-picked family-run accommodation provides welcoming comfort at the end of each day, with every hotel and guest-house being chosen for its friendly atmosphere, delicious food featuring regional specialities, and unique character.
