If you could move to any country for cycling, where would you go?

France.
It's got quiet roads, hilly roads, flat roads, Alpine roads and just about any terrain you can think of.
Decent food and wine, friendly locals (at least, I've always found them to be) and the south is a decent temperature even in January.
I'm struggling to think why I'm still in the UK, TBH...

I would love to have a cycling holiday to France, hopefully sometime in the coming 18 months.

Cyprus. I think they've collapsed economically because of the disproportionate amount of money gone into the infrastructure of that island nation as the road surfaces are far too good for the incredibly small number of people living in the communities served by such roads. But still, for cycling, it is unsurpassed. November, December, January and February will give as many good and warm days cycling there as will May, June, July and August in Britain. And the incredible scent of the remoter parts is very intoxicating.

So you've got great weather, fantastic road surfaces, they drive on the left like us, there are the seemingly never-ending climbs in the Troodos mountains and almost everyone is happy to speak English. Cyprus for me every time. Oh, and they use our 3-pin plug system as well.

How do you get your bike there though and how much does it cost?
