Congratulations to Sustrans worker Clare Dowling for completing a fantastic heart shaped cycle route in her hometown!
Follow your heart I work for Sustainable transport charity Sustrans and we enable people to travel by foot, bike or public transport for everyday journeys. I am very passionate about my work, and when I saw this Cycle Your Heart Out challenge, I knew it was for me! I love where I live, it's a very green and tree-filled town with gorgeous local parks and a great network of cycling routes. I use cycling and walking as my main forms of transport around the local area, and in addition often cycle just for fun or exercise too. Cycle your heart out for ... Bracknell! Location Bracknell, England Heart route 4.5 miles Cycle your heart out I really enjoyed my little ride today around my local area, starting and finishing where I live. I passed gorgeous autumnal trees, dew-covered spider webs, foggy fields, cats on high walls and children playing in the park, cutting through the estates on cycle routes and pootling down traffic calmed streets. A good way to spend 30 minutes of my day! Spread the love Thank you so much Clare for sharing your story, I love your photos! Clare is also a photographer in her spare time and you can check out her beautiful photos on her website here.
