Cycling is low cost
Did you know, the average cost of maintaining a car each year is £273 compared to just £75 for a bike? *
If you’re feeling the effects of the credit crunch and looking to tighten your belt, cycling is a really affordable option.
With an average household in the UK spending one in every six pounds on travel, think how much you’ll save if you travel by bike.

“The enjoyment I get out of cycling is not having to fork out car parking fees. Going to work by bike has saved me a lot of money over the years. It would cost me at least £20 a week to park and that adds up to quite a lot of money over a year.” |
“Cycling for me is all about a cheap, convenient way of getting from A to B. I don’t do it for fitness - I am quite a sedentary cyclist – but, I suppose, there is a certain amount of effort involved as I have to cycle up Broadlands Way on the way home.
