Why Now Is A Great Time To Start Cycling
Cycling 🚲 in the UK may be the next big solution to safe and potentially healthier addictive options - not to mention, of course, the environment!
There are many reasons you might want to think about cycling for commuting or other transport when the coronavirus lockdown starts to ease, particularly if you live in a City.
With physical distancing remaining in place for some time to come, the capacity of public transport will be limited and if more people drive, it will create gridlock. Thus, cities are being encouraged by the government to do all they can to promote cycling, as well as walking, as a way of getting around. Safer routes are being rolled out in Wolverhampton, London, and Manchester, with others likely to follow.

1. Remember – it’s safer than you might think
Safety, and just as importantly, perceived safety, is perhaps the biggest barrier to more cycling. And if you start riding regularly, a scary incident or two with a motor vehicle is inevitable at some point. But while the UK’s streets could and should be much safer for cycling, very serious incidents remain rare, with a serious injury or death once every million miles ridden.
