Benefits of Cycling
Cycling is one of the best forms of exercise for overall fitness - and you can build it into your day easily as it can be a mode of transport, be that getting to school, work, shops, or to socialise!
Safety
One of the barriers to taking up cycling is a perception of the physical danger posed by motor traffic. However, the real risks are minimal and, the research suggests, are outweighed by the health benefits by a factor of around twenty to one.
