Cycling is one of those activities that requires minimal equipment, but can provide you with great value. The only equipment you need is a good bike!
A good bike does not necessarily mean a brand new one. You can take an older bike, give it a good clean and take care of minor repair needs. You will be ready to hit the road in no time!
So, why is cycling such a great activity? Well, when it comes to cycling, there are several key factors that can turn you into an avid rider. One of those key factors: it’s great cardio-vascular exercise. This means that cycling is amazing for your heart and your overall health. Since it is an outdoor activity, you get time outdoors which can provide you with healthy sun exposure as well as a great leg workout.
Another perk that comes along with cycling is it reduces your overall influence on the environment. Using a bicycle instead of a car, can massively reduce your carbon footprint. It is also a lot faster than walking somewhere on foot!
According to welovecycling.com,
In many cities, cycling is the fastest way how to get from one point to another. In one survey conducted in Copenhagen, 66 % people cycling to work said that they felt happy with their commute whilst there were only 25 % happy people among those who used public transport and 32 % among drivers.
One benefit that we find absolutely phenomenal, is the sense of achievement. Just like with any hobby, we strive to become better. And with cycling – it is the same! You will probably start off with smaller distances, gradually increasing your goals and tempo. It is guaranteed, to make you feel the best you have felt!
