Improve your riding, get on your bike

A straightforward way for someone to improve his or her riding skills is simply to ride to work.

Getting out of the car or off public transport and onto the bike makes the journey an adventure. It also hones you skills and makes weekend blasts more fun as you’re already familiar with the bike.

Being in a car dulls your awareness and senses, on the bike you arrive invigorated and buzzing, even if your journey is just a short City commute.
