Here are a few health benefits to biking:
- Improved mood and reduced stress. A small Canadian study published last year found that cycling to work can help get your day off to a better start, with those who commuted to work on their bike arriving in a better mood and with a lower level of stress than those who took the car.
- It can help keep off extra weight. UK researchers who compared the daily modes of transport of nearly 150,000 participants found that cycling was one of the most effective forms of exercise for keeping trim and losing weight and was even more effective than walking.
- A lower risk of heart disease. UK research published earlier this year found that cycling or walking to work could help cut the risk of developing or dying from cardiovascular disease (CVD) or stroke.
- Reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes. A large-scale study carried out by the University of Southern Denmark found that cycling can help reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes.
- It is fun! And it is good for you and for our planet!
