Five Bicycle-Shaped Musings from writer, raconteur and life-long cyclist Andrew Martin

Today Andrew Martin discusses all the reasons there are to get cycling. \\nToday just 2 per cent of journeys are made by bike in the UK although our European neighbours in Holland and Belgium put us to shame with far higher levels of enthusiasm for the humble velocipede. But cycling used to be the default method of transport for many in the UK and with all the health and environmental benefits that cycling brings, there is now a stronger movement than ever to encourage us all to get back on our bikes.
