Life is too short to spend week days working, and weekends squeezing in rides as and when you can. A riding weekend can feel like a breath of fresh air – and it doesn’t need to be expensive.

We’ve done the leg work for you, and found some bike friendly hostels, hotels and bunk houses that cost under a £35 a night – that’s just one less cycling outfit….

(Ps – ok – less than MOST new cycling outfits, we put the cheapest gear to the test here)
