What is so good about cycling?

Why cycle and Bike for All websites give loads of reasons why cyclists do it and plenty of advice on choosing a bicycle, how to get started and also tips on cycling do's and don'ts.

Cycle maintenance

It pays to keep your bicycle in tip top condition. Follow this link to the London Cycling Campaign's website for a novice's guide to basic cycle maintenance.

The CTC website has a handy eight page Basic Cycle Maintenence guide.

Why do it alone?

Cycle commuters can now share the pleasure through the Twoshare journey share site. Cyclists can register at http://www.twoshare.co.uk/ and then post journeys just like car sharers do already - where it asks if you are 'offering a lift' drop down the list and choose 'looking for a BikeBudi'. This is a relatively new facility, so please pass it on to other cyclists and encourage them to register.
