Now that there is mass concern about obesity and other health problems relating to lack of exercise, the need for more people to cycle is greater than ever.

Most daily trips that people make can be achieved by cycling. This therefore means that exercise and transport is provided at the same time. Up to one in four car journeys are less than two miles in length, a distance that can easily be cycled in under 10 minutes.

It is recommended that the average adult should take thirty minutes moderate exercise per day. So integrating short cycling trips into your daily routine can be beneficial to your health, your wallet and be quicker than the car during peak hour traffic.
