Cycling is the most efficient and environmentally friendly form of transport ever invented and using pedal power is one of the easiest ways to stay fit.
Research has shown that almost 50% of all journeys in Darlington are less than two miles - an easy cycling distance. And – this is almost too good to be true - Darlington is generally flat and there is already a network of cycle paths in and around the town.
