Cycling for Adults

Why Cycle?

Cycling is healthy, both for you as an individual, and for the community you live in. That's the conclusion of the British Medical Association's report, 'Cycling: Towards Health and Safety'.

• Cycling regularly will improve your fitness and can help you live a long and healthy life.
• Riding a bike can help you maintain a healthy weight.

Switching these short journeys from car to bicycle will benefit your health and your community. You'll be helping to reduce noise and air pollution as well as traffic congestion

If you enjoy cycling, then why not try kickbiking? A kickbike is a cross between a bike and a scooter, so your joints have far less concussion than running - great if you're coming back from injury.
