Cycle for sport

Cycling is one of the most popular activities in the UK and it's easy to see why. Cycling doesn't need to be expensive and you can do it just about anywhere in the UK.

Did you know?

  • Over 650,000 Londoners cycle.
  • Cyclists actually breathe in fewer fumes than people travelling by car or bus, as they are above most of the fumes.
  • If you cycle to school, you arrive more alert than you do if you arrive by car or bus.
  • London will be getting a new velodrome for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games - if you like cycling and want to make it your sport, you could benefit from some state of the art facilities before too long.
