For children and teenagers, cycling opens up the world beyond the front door. Being able to cycle to school, meet friends, visit the park or explore the neighbourhood gives young people a greater sense of independence and freedom!

Horticulture and cycling go hand in hand, and it’s good to be able to identify that Pyracantha is going to hurt when it whips across your face.

If you ask “why are pavements so wide?” You assume everyone is able bodied and walks in single file in one direction. Humans are sociable creatures and walk side-by-side and go in different directions too. There’s also transportation based on this concept and you’re probably sitting in it right now.

The first real "cargo" I ever hauled with a bike was an 18kg bag of cat litter. It sparked a thought that if I can do this, what else can I do that lets me leave the car at home?

Cargo bikes, it’s not all breezing through the park with your kids and a coffee. But it is everyday transportation, doing everyday stuff.
