Welcome

At Cycling Solutions we believe that there are so many benefits to riding your bike for fun, for fitness and for function as a serious method of transport that you’d be daft not to do it.

Our over-arching aim is to promote cycling in all its forms via training at all ages, by providing advice and consultancy to businesses and local government and, perhaps most importantly, through showing by example how it can be done.

We are one of the UK’s most experienced school’s training providers, having trained in excess of 100,00 pupils over the last 5 years.

Why Cycle?

There are three basic reasons why we cycle and why we believe you should too:

  • Cycling is, quite simply, one of the best forms of exercise you can do. It helps improve your fitness and maintain a healthy heart, can help with weight loss and maintenance, lower stress and reduce the risk of stroke. It does all this as part of your daily activities, you can cycle on the way to and from work, study or play, so you don't need to go to the gym.
  • Compared to the cost of a car it’s almost free. Once you’ve bought a bike (less than 5% of the cost of a new car) it needs no petrol, you pay no road tax, and the cost of maintaining a bike is very small.
  • It’s extremely environmentally friendly – no exhaust fumes for one thing, and for the same environmental impact of manufacturing a single car several thousand bikes can be made instead.

There are a few other less obvious reasons too. Did you know that in urban environments a bike is usually quicker than any other form of transport for journeys of 3 miles or less?
