Cycling is a cheap, efficient and healthy form of transport. It is perfect for short to medium trips to the shops, local meetings and appointments or to the gym. There are many forms of cycles available, to suit your needs, including: geared and electric bikes, tricycles, attachments for children either to tow or seats for the back of the bike, hand cycles and adapted bikes for children and adults of different abilities.
To deter thieves it’s important to get a sturdy lock for your bike and consider some insurance for more expensive bikes.
