How long should a beginner bike ride?
The best way to do it as a beginner is to ride for for 3-5 miles at a time for no more than half an hour to get yourself up to speed. After riding for a week or fortnight your bike saddle and body will be fairly adjusted to each other ad you can now take the bike on longer rides such as your daily commute.
How many days a week should I do cycling?
To keep progressing and improving your fitness, you ideally need to be riding your bike every two-three days, even if it’s just a turbo trainer workout. The minimum you can get away with and still see significant fitness gains is three rides a week.

Are there any bike holidays in the UK?
With cycle holidays throughout Europe and the UK, we believe there’s no better way to soak up a country and its culture than by bike.
