There are many unwanted bikes in Bath that could be repaired and recycled, and an ever increasing demand for affordable bicycles from students and part exchanges for families with children, so I'm hoping to be able to offer as many of Bath's residents a useful cost effective bike service, which is friendly and not driven by profit.
The benefits of cycling
1. It is affordable, fun and environmentally-friendly
2. Car drivers suffer 25% more pollution than cyclists and pedestrians
3. People who cycle regularly have the same fitness levels as non-cyclists 10 years younger

5. It can also help fight diabetes, some cancers, strokes, obesity and respiratory disease. It lowers blood pressure and reduces the resting heart rate
6. Cycling can be as strenuous or gentle as you want it – it can push the fittest sports person to the limit or provide a low-impact activity for people returning to exercise

8. Starting the day with a ride to school or work makes you more alert, confident, able to deal with stress and make decisions
9. Getting children onto bicycles is the best way of combating rising obesity in the young, according to medical experts
