Health benefits of mass cycling

We work with the NHS and local councils to fund our successful cycle loan schemes. The scheme allows people to try out cycling and build their confidence before they invest in a bike and equipment. 1 in 3 people go on to invest in their own bike and take up regular cycling.

These schemes can work form self-referral by individuals or by health professionals. Cycling is a proven way to address obesity and the problems of a sedentary life style.

The 2012 report from the Government’s National Institute of Clinical Evidence identifies mass walking and cycling as a key way to improve public health.

The cycle loan scheme could also work in workplaces, hospitals and universities – especially if linked to a pool bike scheme which we can also deliver for you
