Episode Two: Cycling in Cornwall – is it safe, what about the hills, and where are the best cafes and pubs en route?

Ever thought about cycling?

In this week’s episode, again recorded before the November lockdown, we discuss how we started with cycling, the benefits, how to find a group that suits you and which are the best local cafes for when out on a bike ride. We also talk about e bikes and how you can give cycling a go if you are a very nervous beginner.
