"Cycling is so much More Than just exercise, there is an element of freedom when riding a bike. "
Louise Byng says: "My bike was garage-bound for about seven years after I graduated from university in Bournemouth.
"I swapped studying and everyday Cycling adventures with job hunting and long Public Transport commutes into Birmingham.
"After such a long hiatus, deciding to get back on my bike has been a liberating and scary step, particularly as I was intimidated by the pace of The City streets and the physique, gear and demographic of what I perceived a 'cyclist' to be. "
Roz McGuigan says: "I have no recollection of learning to ride a bike.
"Bikes have always been in My Life , from a young age Cycling with my parents to being a mum taking out My Own children.
"In 2012, I was offered the opportunity to train as a Cytech [training and accreditation scheme for bicycle technicians] mechanic.
"Funding came as part of the [London] Olympic legacy and British Cycling was trying to get more women involved.
"As I've always fixed My Own bikes, I felt confident to sign up. "

"When I got my first job in Galway, I bought a 10-speed racer and I loved it. It was purple. I was 22 then and had just moved out of my parents' home. I went everywhere on my bike - it was such freedom.
"In 1984, I moved to Birmingham and the roads seemed more dangerous here, so I decided not to cycle.
"On the 15 March 1988, I was run over by a bus in Kings Heath. I had multiple fractures on my ankle, knee and elbow. I spent three months in hospital having operations and getting skin grafts.
"Only one leg is damaged. I just learned to kind of live with it. I don't talk about it. I'm a very optimistic person. I just try and enjoy everything and do as much as I can.
"I can only cycle using one leg at the moment, so my bike has not had The Most use.
"I love being in the Open Air . Being on a bike you're getting somewhere and you're doing something like shopping, going to work, school, friend's, parties - Cycling for me is freedom. "

"I never had stabilisers, which meant I had my fair share of cut knees and sprained ankles, but More Than anything I had fun.
"Cycling really reminds me of being A Kid on my nan and granddad's road, going up and down with my friends, going down to The Park , to shop for sweets and having what felt like this never-ending freedom.
"There's a hill that joins my nan and granddad's road To My dad's.
"That hill made me love Cycling - a little pedalling, then momentum. "
