Cycling from Shoreham
As from the beginning of this month, mountain bikes can be hired in Shoreham as well as at Hassocks. A visitor to Fulking can arrive at Shoreham by train, walk to AOAC, hire a heavily subsidised mountain bike, cycle north on the Downs Link, then turn east on the South Downs Way. Such a route avoids the road system almost entirely.
