homeCycling resources
This part of the site will gradually fill with a host of PDFs, soundfiles and videos.| To start... Cycling is easy, cheap, green, independent, quiet, fast, convenient, door-to-door, healthy, and fun. |
| for safe, skilled cycling Cycling is safe. If you do it right. Accidents are rare, and getting rarer, but there's no harm in getting clued up from experts on how to stay cycle safe. |
| for everyday cycling Because cycling is truly door-to-door, fast through congested town centres, and practical, it an every day mode of transport not just a leisure pursuit. Ever tried swimming to work? |
| for routes Britain is criss-crossed by thousands of miles of bridleways, and waymarked cycle routes. In towns and cities there an ever growing network of cycle lanes. And, of course, bicycles are designated as 'vehicles' in law so can access all roads, except motorways. That an awful lot of ride possibilities. Narrow down your search for a local or national route by using the links to these maps, guides and online journey planners. |
| for bikes & bike kit The right kit can make all the difference to your cycling pleasure. Seek out expert advice at bike shops and from a selection of the sites mentioned here. |
| for support Cycling in the UK is underpinned by a bewildering number of organisations. Most of the ones collected here are listed a number times on this site. That because they are multi-faceted. Others are one-trick ponies, but still as essential. |
| for further information News junkies can get their fill of daily bicycle-related news at the diverse range of links here, from trade news through to insights into the professional peleton. And want to create your own news, ask a question or simply chew the fat with fellow cyclists? Go to the incredibly busy forums but, be warned, they're addictive... |
| for sport If you're competitive and want to excel on two wheels (or three, you could race tricycles) there are many branches of cycle sport to choose from. |
| for leisure There nowt wrong with pootling, taking it easy, cycling for pleasure. Let others rip up the tarmac, beat the boards and broadslide around fire-roads on gravel berms. |
