Cycling
Although there has been a boom in the sale of mountain bikes and a rise in the number of towns and cities that have incorporated designated cycle routes into their traffic schemes, cyclists tend to be treated with disrespect by many motorists. British cyclists are estimated to be twelve times more likely to be killed or injured on the road (per miles cycled) than their counterparts in Denmark, where a network of safe cycle paths and traffic-calming schemes has been created, although the organization SUSTRANS is attempting to go some way towards addressing this problem. Surprisingly, cycle helmets are not compulsory in Britain - but if you're hellbent on tackling the congestion, pollution and aggression of city traffic, you're well advised to get one. You do have to have a rear reflector and front and back lights when riding at night, and are not allowed to carry children without a special child seat. It is also illegal to cycle on pavements (sidewalks), and in most public parks. A secure lock (preferably some kind of "D" lock) is also indispensable and it's always a good idea to make a note of your frame number in case you have to report a theft to the police. Bike rental is available at cycle shops in most large towns, and at villages within national parks and other scenic areas; the addresses and telephone numbers of these appear in the relevant sections of the guide. Expect to pay in the region of GBP10-20 per day for something sturdy, with discounts for longer periods.
