It’s National Bike Month and there’s no better way to celebrate than spreading lots of glorious cycling related inspiration to get more people pedaling the pedals.
Cycling is quicker than walking, less sweaty than running and saves plenty of CO2 versus driving. And as a bonus bikes can zip through traffic, go to nice places where cars don’t stand a chance, like the beach, and help you shed loads of pounds whilst saving you shedloads of pounds on parking.
Each week for the month of May we’ll share with you posts about cycling. The posts include everything from how to not get your bike stolen to inventive, ingenius bike hacks. We’ll also share top tips on repair and maintenance and tell tales of people doing pretty incredible stuff – all on two wheels.
