Cycling is a really good way to keep fit and get around. You don't need any fuel and it doesn't pollute anywhere.

Active travel means using walking, cycling or scooting to get around. It's a healthy way to travel as it's a form of exercise. It can help to support your mental health, it's better for the environment and reduces congestion on the roads.

Of course not all journeys lend themselves to active travel options, and if you are going too far to walk or cycle, you might like to consider public transport options. You can check local bus, train and tram timetables at Travel South Yorkshire.
