For many people, cycling is something they did with their friends when they were a child and then forgot about once they grew up.
But times are changing. The popularity of cycling is soaring and shows no sign of slowing down. More and more of us are riding our bikes once again, for fitness, fun, and practical purposes like commuting to work, school or university.
However, lots of people worry about safety and are unsure whether getting back on their bike is worth it. There’s no need to panic — the number of fatalities on British roads has actually decreased over the past decade and the majority of accidents are non-fatal.
Riding a bike can be a very safe way to travel if you know how, so learn about road safety for cyclists and you’ll be well on your way.
