We had a competition for the riders to come up with a logo for our GirlsBike2 bike club (it was just plain wrong that we didn`t have one) - and then we had it made up professionally from the riders fantastic drawings.
Big thank you to Shimaz, Emma and Elianna who came up with the winning ideas.

Headline - Almost half of British people can’t afford to buy a bike...
What if you didn`t need to buy a new bike?
What if you could refurbish your old one with help from friendly, inclusive and supportive bike projects?
Less waste
Less money
More learning
More smiles
Just sayin...

Today we took a Cheer Squad to @malling.parkrun at Leybourne Lakes to clap and support all the brilliant runners - but also to get the message out about our little bike club, the Snodland Riders Community Cycle Club.
We had a fantastic time and everyone loved it!
Thank you so much to the riders who have up their time to promote our club.
Big thank you also to Gill at @ThePersonalisationCompany for the fantastic t-shirts and to our sponsors @WeAreCyclingUK #BigBikeRevival.

There are an increasing number of countries that are seizing upon the benefits of cycling...this article is about India. Similar findings to barriers towards cycling...speeding cars, heavy traffic, poorly maintained roads...sound familiar?
The benefits listed in the article are vast, here`s a quote from the article
`Cycling offers an all-encompassing spectrum of benefits, enhancing cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and joint flexibility, while also managing weight. It is also a potent stress reliever, elevating mood, fostering mental clarity, improving sleep quality, and boosting self-esteem for overall well-being. The emergence of group cycling has paved the way towards vibrant community building, enabling people to thrive socially and multiply their potential in numerous ways.`

Some interesting points from the Cycling Mayor of Manchester.
The lack of lighting is a big issue along cycle routes and as with female runners in the winter/darker months, sometimes they just stop cycling.
Improved lighting is a part of the solution.
