The Benefits of Cycling
By Tim
Bicycling has several advantages over other exercises:
- Cycling exercises the heart better than walking without the pounding of jogging.
- One can ride a bicycle almost anywhere, at any time of the year, and at low cost.
- Little or no time has to be lost, as bike travel can be used to get to work, perform errands, or enjoy the outdoors.
- Commuting by bike reduces pollution that causes asthma and bronchitis. A commuting cyclist is also less exposed to air pollution than a commuting motorist.
