Mon 12 Sept 2022Like any good local journalists worth their salt, we wanted to head out into the community and learn more about you lot. And with this month's theme being all things bicycle, this seemed like a good place to start. From those who cycle thousands of miles for charity to others who pop on the bike for a quick neighbourhood ride, Nottingham definitely has its fair share of cyclists.
