On yer bike - join a cycling club

AS the Tour of Britain heads for North Lincolnshire, there's no better time to be bitten by the cycling bug.

Whatever your age or ability, there is something for everyone when it comes to two wheels - whether it be a gentle ride in the country or the thrills and spills of the velodrome.

Cycling is a great way to meet new friends and keep healthy, so give it a go.

Below are some useful contact links for local clubs and cycling organisations to help get you started.
