I have an old bike sitting in the garage and would really like to use it more. Have you got any tips on to get me started?

The great thing about cycling is that as long as you have a helmet and your bike is in good working order then there really is nothing stopping you from getting started as soon as possible. So, take your bike to your local park and do a few circles there before exploring the cycle routes in and around your area. A simple search online will show you where these are. 

Once you’ve built up a bit of confidence in your area you can try going further afield or, if it interests you, try joining a cycling club. These can be found up and down the country, with different ones for different abilities. Again, have a search online and see what you can find. This will help you improve your fitness plus it has a social aspect to it as well!
