The Ridgeway

Health: Every time you cycle, you are less susceptible to the pollution given of by other vehicle users, you are exercising the lungs and heart and getting fresh air too.

Time: Cycling can be quicker often at rush hour periods

Convenience: You can cycle door-to-door and access places not normally available by car. No parking fees or fines too

Pollution Reduction: Your bicycle will not emit polluting fumes and you will reduce your health problems following other cycle users.Totally environmentally friendly.

Economy: Regular cycle care and maintenance is essential for safety, but overall it is considerably cheaper than that of a car, no road tax, liscensing etc. There are no fuel costs or parking fees, just the odd meal expense if you stop off at a country pub or shop
