Southampton Cycling Campaign

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.

The energy equivalent of a single litre of petrol will allow you to travel 650 miles on a bike saving you money to spend on more interesting forms of liquid indulgence.
