National Bike Week is from the 19-27 June 2010, so get on your bike!
The idea of National Bike Week is to promote cycling and show how cycling can easily be part of everyday life. Demonstrating the social, health and environmental benefits of cycling, the week aims to get people to give cycling a go all over the UK.
The
Bike Week website states, "Bike Week is the
UK's largest mass participation cycling event and provides an annual opportunity to promote cycling as a source of fitness and fun, not to mention an alternative form of transport."
The website gives five reasons to get on your bike:
1. Over half of UK car journeys are less than 5 miles – swapping them for an easy 30 minute bike ride can save you a small fortune in fuel costs
2. Cyclists live on average at least two years longer than non-cyclists and their fitness levels are equivalent to being ten years younger – so forget nip and tuck, think pedal and push!
3. Cycling is the ultimate family activity; it’s free, healthy, fun and encourages children to be independent
4. Cycling gets you out and about and you’re more likely to find that beautiful park you never knew existed than when you’re cooped up in a car
5. In a hurry? During rush-hour, a bicycle is twice as fast as a car - good if you hate traffic jams! Even better, you won’t spend a penny on parking.
If you feel inspired, then why not take a break in the North Yorkshire Moors where you will be able to find some great
cycle routes and
cycle trails to get on your bike with the whole family, so why not stay at
Valley View Farm Cottages. The North York Moors is a great place to see on two wheels!
If you would like to book a stay at one of the
