That is according to the BBC Radio 4 travel-based radio show called Excess Baggage, which features travellers' tales and anecdotes from listeners. The latest episode of which is dedicated to cycling holidays.
First airing on Sunday, the radio programme is available on BBC's iPlayer service until this Saturday.
Guests on the show included Robert Penn - a journalist who has recently written the book It's All About the Bike: the Pursuit of Happiness on Two Wheels - and Susie Wheeldon, who is a cycling activist who has taking cycling holidays in many different countries.
