Cycling regularly can provide a massive boost to both your physical and mental health. In the UK, a recent government announcement stated that cycling was going to become an instrumental part of dealing with our national health crisis and this got us thinking – who else could benefit from riding their bike more? This week on the GCN Show Dan and Si are back in the studio…albeit separated by a perspex screen.

I've never been prescribed cycling but I have had it recommended by a nurse. On the flip side he also measured me for made to measure compression stockings, thus exposing me to ridicule whilst I cycle.
Btw "lucked out" simply means you've left your keys indoors.
More bike riders, NHS under stress as the Morons can't seem to realise that even if they are in the right, a couple of ton of metal will always win.
Doctors can prescribe cycling, LMFAO. You been near a bike shop recently – they're almost empty.
I popped into my local one the other day and asked when they're going to get some bikes in – hopefully in November was the answer.
I live in South Africa. A few years ago a cyclist was struck by a car driving 100km/h in a 60km/h zone. The car was driven by a cyclist from the same club.
Love to stand a chance to win awesome orbea. Click the link and the form doesn’t show up for me to fill. Any advice?
As a doctor told me , we get static for giving out pills, but it’s the only thing we are sure you will do. So a doctor can prescribe all they want, but it’s the doing it that’s hard.
The NL did it better by making cycling mainly a daily commuter thing . As long as it’s only the Lycra crowd doing it, it will not move the obesity needle much.
Hi GCN, I am your new subscriber from Singapore. I love your informative channel ❤
For a start I'd make cycling part of the driving test. I'd also be more radical in providing free bikes to all citizens paid for out of NHS budget. Bikes to be designed and built in UK.
Around 4:10 – I recently emailed our local authority to invite their planners to come out for a ride with me. I said, we'll ride the routes on their new cycling map, and see what they're like in real life. Unsurprisingly, they did not take me up on my offer.
I'm disabled, so for me it's handcycling, but even so the physical and psychological benefits of it speak for themselves. I think Drs being able to prescribe cycling is a wonderful idea and long overdue!
I am right at the beginning again. I used to be a big cyclist, until I had some serious injury. I lost my confidence.
I got a new bike about 20 years ago. Never really got back into it. Still looks new, Needs a clean and some new tires.
Now at 55 and very overweight, suffering from depression and many other things, The government timing works well.
To make sure my bike is safe, I decided to start gently, I still have all my gear, nothing like these days.
Been loving the videos, Makes me want to get out again.
Are Si and Dan in the same room with a glass between them or they shoot the video separately?
lol behind HANDLE-bars 😛
Respectable Pro Cyclists? The guy finished the TdF. Pretty darn respectable to me. Just saying.
Take two cycles and call me in the morning.
We have 114 miles of bike trails/ bike lanes just here in Palm Coast Florida. 5am rides in summer to beat the heat, epic winter rides. We have a dedicated coast to coast trail where you can ride all the way across Florida. Only climbing is crossing a elevated bridge other wise flat as a board.
If people want to increase cycling in the UK they need to resurface most of the residential streets and B roads.
In Seattle they mean well, but it's often like
Oh cool a designated bike path, wait it just dumped me on a road, oh there is a tiny sign on the other side of the… well too late…
Would this include electric private electric bikes as i have c.o.p.d. and my bike helps me slow down my illness.
