Who can cycle?

Cycling can be done by anyone

There are no real age barriers to cycling, and people of most fitness levels can cycle, slowly and gently if necessary.

Anyone with heart disease or other conditions affecting their activity should, of course, consult their doctor before starting any exercise programme.

Those of all body shapes and all but the most extreme body weights can ride a bike.

So why not get on your bike? Please see our next article "Getting started" for more information.
