Your guide to a healthier lifestyle
We’ve said before, but now it seems even more appropriate than ever....
If you're, well, anyone who's ridden a bicycle in the last century, chances are you've heard of the reputable brand; 'Huffy'. You might remember their iconic 'Green Machine' kid's ride-on toys, or perhaps their old-school chrome BMX bikes, but one thing's for sure - you don't dominate a market for 130 years for no good reason!
It's no secret that the UK's economy has taken a considerable hit in the past couple of years. Covid-19 of course presented a huge threat to our lively-hood as we know it, and now, it seems just as we were starting to see the financial light at the end of the tunnel, soaring energy prices (and just about everything else) has meant we're faced with the biggest cost of living crisis in 40 years. How has the UK adapted to this situation? And how might we make lemonade out of lemons going forward?
During the midst of the pandemic in 2020, parking fees for NHS staff were scrapped in order to ease financial pressure from those who risk their lives to protect us. Today, on the 30th March 2022, the Government announced that as of Friday 1st April, NHS worker's free parking scheme is to be scrapped. What does this mean for commuting figures, and how can we help?
Live, laugh, and love, this summer. In a world currently forcibly crammed with everything but, an escape is an absolutely necessity. We've recently stocked a range of Bestway's slightly special Power Steel Swim Vista pools, ranging in style, shape and dimension to suit a vast array of Britain's gardens.
After a tough winter of lockdowns and storms, no doubt you (like us!) will be wanting to get out in wide open spaces to get away from your four walls. How about getting a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) or kayak? As you will see, these are a great and low cost way of getting away from the stress and bore of life ashore, and can have good health benefits too!
The Electric Bike market in 2022 demands innovation and reliability, yet the current economic climate demands value for money... A tough combination, but we think the Protocol fits the criteria!
If you're a British motorist or cyclist, chances are you've heard that the Highway Code is changing as of January 2022. Now, while most of the technical lingo is lost on most of us, these alterations have been widely condensed into 8 key points, 7 of which affect cyclists, and they're changes that all of us should be aware of. So, what do these changes mean for the UK's cyclists?
Climate change is hitting and we all need to do our bit. How could buying an e-bike help? As we will discuss it could significantly reduce your transport emissions and ultimately help humanity avert the disaster that we can see unfolding. Carbon emissions from transport now account for 25% of the UK’s overall CO2 emissions. It’s not surprising that the government sees this as "low hanging fruit" - something that can be quite easily fixed.
The petrol shortages and rocketing price of fuel are hitting the UK hard, making normal everyday activities a challenge for us all. From taking the children to school, getting to an appointment on time, or simply driving to and from work, it seems we can no longer just jump in the car and drive to our destination without a worry. There's never been a better time to swap the E10 for an E-Bike!
