2022 round up! Check out these statistics from Strava
Commuting is up! β¬οΈ πΌ π² Bike commuting went down in the pandemic β but globally, itβs returning. Women are bouncing back to pre-pandemic levels of commuting more quickly than men. Two out of three bike rides in London are now commutes.
E-bikes are on the rise! π΄ β«The share of cyclists on Strava with an e-bike ride increased 26% this year. Older athletes are much more likely to use e-bikes showing how accessible these bikes are for older demographics.
This year the share of cyclists with at least one 100 mile ride increased by 22% globally- The UK leads the way with new century riders!

Happy International Women's Day π΄ββοΈ
It's a day to celebrate womenβs achievements and challenge stereotypes that may exist in relation to women and girls who ride a bike. We would like to thank all the inspirational women in cycling working to break down barriers.
Let's encourage more women and girls to start cycling! Together we can make cycling more accessible π©βπ§π²

Last year the Dutch Reach became an official Highway Code recommendation to protect cyclists and pedestrians better. It's a simple rule to avoid car-dooring.
Opening the car door using your arm furthest away from the door forces you to turn your head, and you can see any oncoming cyclists, pedestrians or traffic.
If you injure someone by opening your car door you could face a fine of up to Β£1,000 π¬
Spread awareness to help prevent car-dooring!

We hope you all enjoyed your pancakes yesterday! ππ₯
But that means one thing...today is Lent
If you don't fancy giving up sweet treats, why not ditch those short car journeys?! We've all done it...chose a 30-second drive over a ten-minute walk. Walk or cycle those easy trips instead and help reduce pollution.
Leave the car at home and make a difference!
