We’re talking about the Great North Trail, a cycle route between England and Scotland promoted by Cycling UK that takes two-wheeled adventurers through the beauty of central and northern Britain on less-traveled roads, secondary roads, forest trails. According to the organization, a quarter of people who use the national roads of the United Kingdom do so by mountain bike, valuing the Great North Trail could thus have benefits on the economy and the health (physical and mental) of those who decide to browse it.

Recognizing the psycho-physical benefits of physical activity together with those of the environment, Cycling UK is helping to give new value to cycling in England, pushing that quarter of the British population who regularly travels the national arteries on two wheels to leave their cars for journeys that are not related to pressing professional commitments.

A brilliant idea that aims to combat the level of environmental pollution caused by car traffic in favor of the many benefits of outdoor physical activity. Ready for this big tour?
