Cycling is the environmental solution to urban traffic problems and also brilliant for your health - unless you are knocked off your bike of course. On many roads there are enormous risks to cyclists from lack of cycling paths and speeding traffic, particularly on rural roads and in town. Children in particular are often not allowed out on their bikes due to traffic danger, lleading to obesity and lack of independence.
