On your bike?

Sustrans, the sustainable transport charity, is in full support of the Government founded 'Cycle to Work Alliance,' which promotes the benefits of cycling for employers and employees alike.

It is believed that workers who cycle to the office will not only be healthier, but also more productive.

The British Heart Foundation is also in support of this health-conscious scheme.

The benefits are expected to extend to the NHS, in the form of a considerable cost saving following a reduction in healthcare needs.

With congestion and pollution decreasing from a reduction in traffic, there are clearly multiple beneficiaries of such a scheme!
