Why cycle?
Riding your bicycle to work is an effective way of increasing your daily physical activity and achieving health benefits.
Regular cyclists enjoy a fitness level equal to that of a person 10 years younger (source: National Forum for Coronary Heart Disease Foundation).
Cycling at least 20 miles a week reduces the risk of heart disease to less than half that for non-cyclists who take no other exercise (source: British Heart Foundation).
During rush-hour, a bicycle is about twice as fast as a car.
Bicycles produce absolutely no pollution - they are a lot quieter too.
Bicycles don't incur any fuel costs - except perhaps a hearty breakfast or chocolate!
If you don't want to ride on the road, check out the bike hire facilities and trails at some of our countryside centres.
