ON yer bike! That's the message from Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council as it launches a free booklet of six great cycle routes.
From beginners and families, to experienced off-roaders, the booklet has something for everbody, and includes maps and comprehensive directions.
James Syson, transport planner for the council, said: "Cycling is both fun and a great form of exercise.
"Regular cycling of just half-an-hour a day can provide protection against serious heart conditions and diabetes, and can help with weight loss."
The booklet, produced by Pennine Events, is available at all local libraries, the visitor centre in Church Street, and the town halls in Blackburn and Darwen. It will also go online at www.blackburn.gov.uk/cycling.
