BRITTANY FERRIES has seen a significant rise in the number of people taking advantage of cycle routes in France and Spain.
In four years, the number of individual bikes carried by the cross-Channel service grew 30% to 20,024. The number of passengers travelling by car with bike racks attached to their vehicles has also rose, from 26,626 to 39,537, a rise of 50%.
‘We’ve seen a strong increase in demand from cyclists in recent years, and we’re expecting that to continue,’ says Mike Bevens, Brittany Ferries group commercial director. ‘In the next couple of months, the global spotlight will turn to Normandy and the Grand Départ of the Tour de France at the Mont St Michel. Our services to Cherbourg, St Malo, and Caen are filling up fast.’
