Apart from the weather, I don't think you can get much better than th UK, so if I did move it would be for the winter months only.
The trouble is the cafes can be two weeks apart when travelling at bicycle speed.

And they haven't got any mountains, or even many decent hills!

They've got (the real) Legoland, Borgen and The Killing though, what more do you want??

Mountains!
(I have missed out on all those Scandinavian TV series - I'll get them on DVD from the local library one day.)

I tell you if the 'Bitter Together' camp wins this Scottish Referendum, then I'll be leaving the country, leaving behind all the idiots and going somewhere nicer.
The Falklands will most certainly NOT be one of the places I'll be going too!!

It really isn't as great as you might expect for cycling - except in Quebec, the roads are often quite straight and boring, the drivers really aren't used to cyclists - the half-asleep long-distance truck drivers are a serious problem - and there really isn't the range of quiet backroads, and it's so big that it takes you ages to get to any of the decent cycling. BC is excellent for mountain biking, though.
Japan is surprisingly good once you are out of the Tokyo megalopolis, and even cycling in Tokyo is a lot of fun. The narrowness, volcanicity and high culinary standards of the country means you are never far from a fantastic climb, a good meal and a hot-spring - the perfect combination for me. But France is awesome, in fact the whole belt from northern Spain through southern France and across Northern Italy is unbeatable IMHO.

I'd move to the next valley. The grass over there looks MUCH greener!
Having cycled in much of Europe (but hardly at all outside Europe) I have to say I'm pretty happy with things here.
Alps inspire me, but being on them (motorcycle or bicycle) sort of scares and diminishes me.
Also, those foreign Johnnies just don't get the whole 'left and right' thing. Surely another reason to support Monsieur Farridge on his noble quest.
