It's your world. Are you strong enough?

It’s easy! Cycling is often the easiest way to get around our city – you can ride quickly and directly to the shops, to school or to work, and not have to worry about parking the car. It’s fun! Cycling is a really enjoyable way to get around and spend your time, whether you’re riding alone, or with your friends or family. Take a picnic and make a day of it! It’s fast! During the rush hour, cycling can be up to twice as fast as going by car. Most places in a city can be reached by bike in around 30 minutes. It’s free! With a bike there’s no fuel to buy (apart from your own food!), no road tax or parking fees. …

We LOVE cycling here at TGM HQ and whether you rely on your bike for transportation or exercise, you’ll enjoy these ten fun facts on this amazing two-wheeled vehicle. 1. In 1817, Karl von Drais, a German baron, invented a horseless carriage that would help him get around faster. The two-wheeled, pedal-less device was propelled by pushing your feet against the ground, The machine became known as the “draisine,” and led to the creation of the modern-day bicycle. 2.

Orville and Wilbur Wright, the brothers who built the first flying airplane, operated a …

WE LOVE CYCLING! There’s never been a better time for a two wheeled fun adventure, dust off that saddle and get your old bike out of the shed.

We thought you might like this? Did you know the first two wheeled rider propelled machine was invented by Baron Karl de Drais de Sauerbrun, in France in 1818. It was entirely made of wood. It’s also been calculated that cycling at least 20 miles a week cuts in half the risk of heart disease compared to non-cyclists who take no exercise, according to the British Heart Foundation. The British Medical Association also recommends that you cycle daily. Dust off that saddle and feel the wind in your hair WHOOHAAA!!!
