Should I cycle? Yes! Sure you should!
5 Fs why cycling is a good idea:

Friendship

What better way to explore a place than on a bike talking with a friend as you go? Take time out with the family - the younger they are when they start to ride a bike the easier cycling will come to your children. There are many types of kiddy bike seats and adaptations available now to make cycling with young children safe and comfortable. Join the local CTC group for guided rides and a helpful network of cycling enthusiasts. Acknowledge other cyclists on the road - there is a camaraderie among cyclists you tend not to find among car drivers.
