Why cycle?
- It’s healthy – cycling improves fitness, helps maintain a healthy weight, lowers the risk of heart disease and helps to reduce stress
- It’s cheap – bikes are low on cost; they don’t need taxing, MOT, compulsory insurance, breakdown cover or fuel!
- It’s faster – in busy city and town centres, cycling is often quicker than any other mode of transport
- It helps the environment – with no air or noise pollution, cycling is environmentally friendly
