Participant feedback

“ After the cycle challenge I began to ride my bike routinely to work or to go shopping in Woking instead of driving as I realised how much it was much quicker and cheaper it was. ”
“ I just didn’t realise the fun (not to mention the benefits) of jumping back onto a bike. I've saved money on parking and lost 2 stone since the challenge. ”
“ It has given me the confidence to ride on the roads again after not cycling for many years. I do not think I would have done this without the support and guidance received during the Challenge. ”
