Spring is the perfect time to make good on those promises to become more active and pursue a healthier lifestyle!

“I do suffer from anxiety but being on my bike, in the fresh air, with my family or on my own massively helps my mental health and of course it’s great for my physical health too.” – Nottinghamshire Resident.

Nottinghamshire has some great ‘hidden gem’ cycle routes, right on your doorstep. These are perfect for starting cycling, especially the flat, off-road routes such as the Teversal Trail, Southwell Trail or Dukeries Trail.

Take a look at our Routes and Rides guides for more ideas of where your bicycle could take you! 

Find a handy checklist of cycle equipment and cycle maintenance videos. 

E-bikes are now becoming a popular form of transport, especially if you’re worried about distance or the physical effort involved with cycling. These provide your pedalling with a bit more power from a battery pack – but don’t worry, you’re always in control.

“I love cycling and exploring with my family but sometimes I felt it was difficult to keep up with their endless energy. Having an e-bike means I can go faster and longer on our adventures and I love it.” – Nottinghamshire Resident.
