BENEFITS OF BICYCLING

Better Balance
Cycling provides many health benefits, including better balance. Riding a bike helps you gain balance and spatial awareness, and stabilizing the bike can strengthen your arms, core and legs.

Strength Building
Riding a bike for a least 30 minutes a day will build up your cardiovascular and muscular endurance.

Stress Relief
A study showed cycling is one of the most effective treatments for stress.


Environmentally Friendly
Bicycle commuting contributes to a clean environment in several ways. For starters, bicycling reduces transportation emissions and traffic congestion as well as the need for petroleum.

Boost Your Self-Esteem
New research shows that excercise and cycling in particular can help boost your self confidence.

Heart & Soul
Studies from Purdue University have shown regular cycling can cut your risk of heart disease by 50%.
