There are so many reasons to take up cycling, from boosting your fitness to being environmentally friendly (and cost-effective!). Cycling is definitely the way to go if you want to ditch the traffic jams and hop on for a two-wheeled adventure. With cycling making a long-overdue comeback, take a shot at it for the first time or brush up your rusty skills as we round off the top five reasons to do so.
1. Pump up your heart rate
Being a low-impact sport, cycling can be taken up by almost anyone, as long as you understand your own limits. Beyond the obvious health benefits of losing weight and staying fit, regular cycling (especially over a decent distance) has been linked to many long-term health improvements.
2. Quads of steel
With regular cycling, you’ll build chiseled calves and quads while getting the perfect workout to keep stiff joints at bay and help fight off arthritis, all while shaping a stronger, more toned body.
3. Burn calories, not fuel
Steady cycling burns around 300 calories per hour, and because it helps build muscle, you’ll also see a significant boost in your metabolic rate. Plus, with zero emissions, hopping on a bike is one of the greenest ways to get around.
4. Quality ‘YOU’ time
Pedal away stress and tension with cycling. It’s a natural mood-lifter that gives you the perfect mix of exercise and fun.
5. Boosting self-confidence with Cool new gear
Snazzy cycling gear, from bikes to helmets and everything in between, lets you show off your personal style as you zip around town on your trusty ride.
