Pollution-free, handy and popular
As a relatively cheap, quick and easy means of travel, the bicycle is used today by the commuter, the sportsman and thp pleasure seeker. Besides being quiet and much less expensive to run than a car. the bicycle provides a bonus in the form of healthy exercise. For many New Zealanders, cycling has become an important part of life. Many young people are taking to the cycle circuits and the roads to take part in competitive cycle racing, while people of all ages find cycling the ideal leisure activity.
To promote the safety of their clients, the Master Cycle Traders’ Federation last year launched "Mastercover:’ a four-point plan aimed at reducing cycle accidents and promoting the enjoyment of cycling. It encompasses expert advice: a free, pre-delivery. roadworthiness test: a free, six-weekly, safety check and comprehensive ’ after-sales service by qualified cycle mechanics. "Master cycle traders won’t sell a cycle without it. whether it be a school bike, road bike. 10-speed or BMX." says the federation's marketing executive. Mr Graham Carden.
