- Summary
- COI synopsis: Bicycling is back in Britain. More and more people are discovering that this form of transport can run circles around the alternatives because it’s pollution-free, quiet and cheap. Maggie Palmer gives it a try and discovers how many different kinds of cyclists there are on the roads today.
