PEDAL POWER
By Josie Whitehead
'Why should I take up cycling?
What could it do for me?'
'Well, cycling’s fun - give it a go -
And it’s entirely free.'
​
'A cycle needs no road tax and,
Of course, no MOT.'
'With no insurance on a bike
That means a lot to me!'
'Well will it do my body good -
Improve my shape and size?'
'You’ll surely shed unwanted weight
With cycling if you’re wise.'
​
'Your risk of heart disease will drop;
You’ll soon feel great inside.
You’ll show the world a fitter you
And display it with some pride.'
​
'Will I meet other people too?
New friends are what I need.'
'Come for a family fun run then
Where no-one aims to speed.'
​
'You’ll pedal through the country lanes
And breathe in good fresh air.
You’ll see your stress disintegrate
As you travel without care.'
​
'We meet for coffee on the route -
That’s where we sit and chat -
With scones and luscious strawberry jam. I’m sure that you'd like that!'
​
'Those folk with energy to burn
Can build up cycle speed
But we’ve lots of stages in between
To meet each person’s needs.'
​
'The members of our club agree
That pedal power’s a treat
So I hope that you’ll be joining us
The next time that we meet.'
​
'Yes, thanks for everything you've said.
I’ll join you right away,
And I, with bike, will meet you all
For certain next Sunday.'
