Cycling is a great way to achieve three things in a one go. Firstly, it is an excellent way to stay fit, secondly, it is an excellent way to reduce your carbon emissions and stay green and thirdly, it is an extremely cheap mode of transport.

It makes us wonder why it is all about making more money to become more entrenched in a lifestyle that is not necessarily good for us anyway!
