Reason for cycling

Cycling is much more than just a sport, it is:  a healthy leisure activity, a means of transport, family fun, and provided with much better facilities, we should see many more cyclists out and about.  It is a vehicle for tourism.  It doesn't pollute. 

Cycling allows us to explore our beautiful and varied countryside, with its delightful seasonal changes and enjoy its sounds, aromas, and sights like with no other means of transport, and it need not be expensive.

A cyclist gazes wistfully across the English Channel from a vantage point on the Leas at Folkestone, perhaps dreaming of cycling in France during the Summer.

Bicycles have brought these two women to the Leas to relax on a bench in the evening to soak in the sunshine, and enjoy the vista, and the fresh sea air, with no worries about parking.

Then comes the Winter:-

And snow.

Unfortunately Snow and ice and cycling are incompatible, and the cyclist has to avoid  snow, slush, and ice.

Cycling can be enjoyed from a very early age,

And on until quite late in life.
