From fitness to cost, there are so many reasons to get on your bike

It gives you some me-time

Hopping on your bike and pedalling off for a couple of hours gives you time to escape, think and just have some time to yourself. Or if you want company, join a cycle group.

It’s suitable for all fitness levels

With cycling, you go at your own pace so it doesn’t matter what shape you’re in. In fact, did you know that the saddle holds 70 per cent of your body weight? That means there’s much less pressure on your joints. So if you’re new to cycling, looking to improve your fitness or recovering from an injury, it’s a great way to get fit.

It makes you feel good!

Cycling releases invigorating bursts of endorphins, which are good for both the brain and body. You’ll feel good from your head to your toes!

It’s planet friendly

Getting into cycling not only has a positive impact on you, but it also will have a positive impact on the environment. A bike can replace your car or the bus, especially for shorter journeys, meaning fewer congestion-related emissions.

Discover your surroundings

Cycling allows you to venture to places that you may not otherwise go to. It’s the best way to explore a city or to take your time to see what your town or countryside has to offer.
