  1. What Russ achieved is extraordinary. But the good news is that you don’t have to ride a million miles to be amazing, you just need to replace those local trips you might drive with the bike. Why not give it a go today and see how much fun it is? We've got plenty of advice on our website to help you on your way: https://www.cyclinguk.org/advice-beginners
