Guilt-free sustainable web hosting! 1 and 1's European operation is now powered solely by renewable energy. A green host is just right for our cycling and gardening sites; the domain name prices are mostly under a tenner a year, and there are lots of extras to help developing your site, plus good support.

Invaluable resource: cycle to live - the facts
There are stacks of 'facts' on the web about cycling and health, but are they true? We've written 'Cycle to live - the facts' as a springboard for you if you've got an essay or project to produce, an article to write, or someone to persuade, and you need ideas, facts, figures and, crucially, the sources. Or if you're just interested in the studies that produced the statistics.

Sustainable mobility - Amsterdam leads
Amsterdam (the one in The Netherlands) is the world’s top cycling city with 60% of trips in the city centre made by bicycle. It wants to become the world’s centre of expertise on sustainable mobility - there's more in a report by Jack Oortwijn for Bike Europe.
Let's hope the UK learns some lessons from this. It could be soooo good here with just a few tweaks to the law. The first one could be an obligatory wide berth for cyclists as in France, where the law dictates a 1.5 metre space.
