Why walk?
 

Walking regularly will make you feel good, and is good for your health. For adults, 30 minutes of walking five days a week dramatically cuts the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, obesity and some cancers. It also reduces cholesterol, lowers high blood pressure and is good for your sense of well-being.

Can I cycle with children?
 

It’s now easier than ever for you to ride with young children:

  • Good foot support makes the journey much more comfortable for children, and good padding protects young bottoms from bumps
  • Straps and padded headrests are essential because children will sometimes fall asleep on a ride
  • Look for seats that can grow with your child and are compatible with panniers.
