Cheap Travel
Cycling
Bike-to-work, secondhand frames, free repairs.
Cycling in Britain is the most underrated piece of transport policy — free at the point of use, tax-deductible through Cyclescheme, and gets you to most UK city-centre jobs faster than a car. The hard bit is the kit and the routes.
These are the resources that make UK cycling cheap and safe: Sustrans for routes, Cyclescheme for tax-free bikes, Dr Bike for free maintenance.
