Five good reasons to cycle

1.    Cycling exercises most of the muscles in your legs and bum – so it’s an excellent way to tone these areas.
2.   It’s a practical way to keep fit. 75% all personal journeys are less than 5 miles long – that’s half an hour on a bike.
3.   It’s cheaper than joining a gym! Bicycles require no MOT, no insurance, no licensing and above all no fuel. Bicycles can be parked almost anywhere for free.
4.   Switching short journeys from car to bicycle will benefit both your health and community. You'll be helping to reduce noise, air pollution and traffic congestion too.
5.   Riding a bike can help you maintain a healthy weight. Average cycling burns about 300 calories per hour and gives a level of fitness equivalent to being 10 years younger.

In short, cycling is:

- Healthier
- More efficient
- Eco friendly
- Economic

It also increases the travel options for your company/students with regard to commuting to and from work and/or college and incorporating cycling for local journeys which will also:

- Reduce Stress
- Improve Performance
- Increase Fitness
- Save time and money

!! Several good reasons to save both time and money !!

When combined with other measures such as car sharing and greater public transport usage, cycling is an ideal component of your company and community travel plan. More employees/students cycling to work/college has the potential to increase land use for your premises as the need for car parking is reduced. RSCT aims to provide appropriate programmes designed to boost confidence and encourage safer cycling.
