This week we’re being encouraged to make at least one journey by bike, helping to cut down emissions and get healthy. Hundreds of events are being organised around the country and you can find out more by logging onto www.bikeweek.org.uk
Events kicked off with the annual London to Brighton ride and will end with the arrival of the Tour de France cyclists who are gearing up for the Grand Depart in London.
Here in Southampton, many employers are organising “Bike Breakfasts” to encourage people to cycle to work, and adult training sessions are being held by cyclewise. You’re never too old to learn to ride safely and get some tips on looking after your bike. Cycling is a great way to beat the traffic and arrive refreshed and ready to tackle the working day.
