Cycling - like walking is a very sustainable means of travel. Manufacturing a bike of course uses a lot of energy - but it is a one off impact. The more times you pedal off to go somewhere the greener your bike becomes in terms of Carbon dioxide emisisons per mile. The bicycle is possibly the only machine humans have invented that 'more' really does mean'less'.
Great for short hauls and fun journeys!
Again there are many benefits to cycling, health, wealth and wellbeing should all improve! Much work is going on to give cycling more priority and improved routes are being developed and implemented. We have a long way to go to catch the Dutch, but we can all start to benefit from being Bike Active now!
