Why cycle?

Having a bike gives anyone and everyone the opportunity for ease, speed and enjoyment.

1. It's good for you - get exercise, get used to a convenient and sustainable way of keeping fit, breath clean air in the country side and take a good look around your local areas (which is good for our mental health).
2. It's good for the environment - don't use a car, reduce air pollution, reduce release of green house gases, reduce road congestion and leave a parking space free!
3. It's good for the economy - stop on the way and support local business. You can quickly make journeys with confidence and knowledge by bicycle in both urban and rural areas.
