When the weather s good, there s nothing quite like a trip out on your bike. We ve put together the details of Dorset s favourite routes from leisurely family rides to something a little more intensive.
Cycling is a popular sport and pastime nationwide. Events such as the Tour de France and the Olympics, as well as advocates like Bradley Wiggins, Chris Hoy, and Chris Boardman have all encouraged wide participation, making cycling one of the most popular leisure sports in the country. Biking also has numerous benefits as it is a great workout but with minimal risk of impact injury or strain. Not only that, but it can greatly help reduce your carbon footprint if you choose to cycle instead of drive to local events or amenities.

Jeremy Vine has been reported to the BBC for using social media over claims that he has “bullIed and intimidated” campaigners opposed to low traffic neighbourhoods by alleging they had “decapitated garden flowers” belonging to a keen cyclist.
In a row nicknamed “Tulip Gate”, the Radio 2 presenter posted an image on his Twitter account of flower heads laid out on a doormat at the home of a neighbour in West London.
The broadcaster, a cycling campaigner, wrote: “A woman in my area has been relentless in arguing the case for safe cycling. She has had much abuse from the local anti-cycling group which is raising £50,000 to get our new cycle lane torn out.

Blackburn with Darwen Council wants to ban the use of Pleasington Playing Fields by the aero-enthusiasts. Chris Boardman, chairman of Blackburn and District Model Aircraft Club, has vowed to fight the prohibition and says officers have misunderstood the new regulations. The ‘shocked’ enthusiasts have used the fields since 1938 but the borough now says their activities are not safe. A council letter last month from head of leisure and sport Claire Ramwell said: “The UK adopted the EU regulations for model flying in 2019 and these came into effect on December 31, 2020. “The council requested the legal department review these new guidelines to make an informed decision as to whether it was appropriate for the flying of model aircraft to continue at Pleasington Playing Fields.
