According to the National Child Measurement Programme as part of NHS Digital, over 1 in 5 children are overweight or obese when they start school. And by the time they go to high school the statistic goes up to 1 in three children who are overweight. Therefore it is really important to instill a fun exercise ethic in your child while they are still young to ensure that they do not end up as part of this shocking statistic.

To combat the statistic there are a number of school and government led exercise related activities to help keep the kids moving. These activities are aimed at being fun and engaging to prevent your child from resorting to sitting at home on their phone or console.

Cycling is a fantastic way to keep fit, commute to work or even explore the world from a different viewpoint. Cycling doesn't require any expensive equipment, simply a bicycle and protective gear. This actitivity gives you a freedom you cannot get when relying on public transport or driving your car. Although this activity is very widely participated in due to its convenience and excellent health benefits, we often find that the exposure of men's racing and clothing is very different to those catered towards women. In recent years we have seen this change slightly to see more women's only and inclusive bicycle races and events as well as mainstream and boutique clothing companies creating gear for ladies. This added inclusion is constantly growing and is leading more and more women to take up the sport as a hobby or competitively rather than just for commuting.
