Cycle to work? Swap London streets for beautiful beaches and rolling hills on the Isle of Wight

The All In London Blog

We all love the buzz of London life, but sometimes the daily hustle and bustle, muggy air and overcrowded tubes can get a bit tiring. If you like cycling, you will love The Isle of Wight. Located just two hours from central London, the Isle of Wight has over 60 cycle routes graded from easy to strenuous and really is the perfect place to relax, take in the beautiful sites and escape the pressures of daily life.

With regular trains from Central London to Southampton, getting to the Isle of Wight couldn’t be simpler. Once in Southampton, simply hop on a Red Jet and pick up your Yellow Bike on the other side. For added convenience, you can hire your electric or pedal bike from 6am until 7:30pm and book online or by mobile. So you can now discover the freedom of cycling without all the hard work.

Yellow Bike (www.yellowbike.biz) now offers a GPS activated bike hire service with electric and pedal bikes. So if you’re tired of your pedal bike, you can now try your hand at cycling electric! Enjoy getting away from the city and enjoy a family day out in the fresh air; let the kids pedal furiously while you pedal at your leisure. Plus, the battery life will last for 25+ miles, which gives you enough time to make the most of the stunning scenery. Once you’ve finished, simply book it back in at the Red Jet Terminal head on the Red Jet back to Southampton before hopping on the train back to the City – a perfect day out.

Isle of Wight Tourism is also giving away a number of prizes to celebrate the annual Cycling Festival including £50 worth of cycling accessories from Halfords, a weekend of free bike hire for a family of up to five and a Good Mountain Bike Guide.
