Introduction
The real benefits of cycling far outweigh the perceived dangers, indeed it is now safer than ever to ride a bike. With a little planning, journeys can be made which avoid busy roads and will probably take you through pleasant areas you have not discovered before.
Making sure your cycle is in a roadworthy condition and fits you properly will not only make it safer to use, but will also greatly increase your comfort and enjoyment, and minimise the amount of effort you need to put in.
Understanding basic cycle maintenance will also make your cycle safer to use, as well as increasing its life expectancy.
There are many cycle skills training courses available to people of all ages. Often it is just a little guidance and knowledge that can make all the difference to your confidence when cycling. Find a course near you.
