@BritishCycling is calling on the Government to formally recognise tandems as adaptive bicycles for certified visually impaired riders and make them VAT-exempt (as other cycles such as handcycles and trikes can be). Take a look: www.britishcycling.org.uk/article/2026...

‘I am not a cyclist. I am a person who rides a bike. I am by no means super-fit and I am a pensioner. I am getting exercise without hassle and doing a little to reduce pollution.’ Meet Jane, who is pedalling through her seventies. Take a look at her story: www.camcycle.org.uk/magazine/mag...

Wow, what a way to get to work! We love these photos of Utrecht, The Netherlands. The first photo shows the busiest cycleway in the Netherlands. The second shows a route leading to the largest cycle park in the world, with space for 13,500 bikes. Imagine starting your morning like this!

🚴‍♀️ A good reminder to move… and relax! 🌿 All exercise is good exercise, but there’s something special about cycling outdoors. Fresh air, movement and a change of scenery can leave you feeling revitalised, energised and optimistic. What difference does cycling make to you?

The bike and the railway changed the world once. Together, they could do it again. 😯 Did you know - a bike can increase a station's catchment area by up to 16 times? So why are only 2–4% of UK rail passengers combining the two? Find out more (from our latest magazine!) tinyurl.com/rail-cycle
