Cycling has a range of benefits, these include:-
Cycling for improved health and fitness
-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.
-Three quarters of all personal journeys are less than 5 miles long - that's half an hour on a bike.
Switching your 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.
Cycling to save money
If you want to save hundreds of pounds on your travel costs cycling can help you. Save yourself over £700 on public transport and over £1000 on car costs every year by switching to cycling. Cycling is the cheapest form of transport around!

Cycling for the environment
Cycling is pollution fee, noise free and congestion free.
Cycling for Transport
-Cycling is the fastest mode of urban transport in all independent studies of the modern era, that's to say since our towns and cities started to grind to a halt.
-Cycling is also the best mode of transport for also getting your recommended 30 minutes a day light exercise.
-Cycling brings train and bus stations up to 2 miles away within easy reach, no parking charges, and no fighting for a place.
