Dorset is a great place to explore by bike! Located between the New Forest and the Purbecks, and with miles of stunning promenade, you can use your bike to reach beautiful locations across Bournemouth, Poole and beyond. At BU, we want to encourage and support active travel in as many ways as possible and have some great initiatives and incentives in place to get you out and about, cycling for leisure or as part of your commute.
