“I believe that the cyclised city is the civilised city”, declares ebullient Boris Johnson. Love him or hate him, London’s mayor is – not so quietly –revolutionising cycling in the capital.
Dundee is transforming its waterfront, to draw visitors in. Adrian looks at what there is for the short break tripper

After getting used to Turkey as being one of the best value money for destinations around for the last couple of years, you might be surprised by not only prices this year but availability as well.
According to ABTA, about 2 million of us will leave the country to enjoy Easter abroad. And maybe some decent weather after the returning wintry conditions of this week.
It won’t come as a great surprise to many of you that Spanish resorts are doing well with Tenerife and the Canaries leading the way. You could also guess that Egypt and Turkey are doing well and so they are but Tunisia has also picked up a lot of bookings. Going slightly further afield, Florida is attracting the usual school age groups and booking seem to be up despite the fact that the biggest new attraction, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter doesn’t open until June 18th.
The usual places seem to fill the top spots each year for overseas citybreak destinations. Paris, Amsterdam and Dublin lead the pack with Milan and New York not far behind and this is despite the weakness of the pound against the euro and the dollar.
So who is going away?
I have a short memory and that might be why I can’t remember the last time we had such good weather forecast for an Easter weekend. Such good weather in fact that the beaches are sure fire bets for visitors. Only a day or so ago, a person from Weston-super-Mare was being interviewed on BBC Breakfast saying that he had never seen so many people on the beach so early in the season. So take little notice then of the report on our beaches that came out earlier this week from the Marine Conservation Society.
