On your bike

Fewer than 2% of all journeys in the UK are made by bike, according to the Department for Transport. It’s good for our health, purse and the environment, and there are 16,500 miles of National Cycle Network for you to explore; see sustrans.org.uk. Out of puff? An electrically assisted pedal cycle doesn’t need a licence or insurance, and can be ridden anywhere a bike is allowed. Check out the E-Plus Mayfair Women’s E bike,
