Why cycle?
Regular cyclists enjoy a fitness level equal to that of a person
10 years younger and research suggests that regular cycling is as
beneficial as any other form of exercise. Regular cycling, where
the exercise leaves you breathing heavily but not out of breath, is
an effective and enjoyable form of aerobic exercise and this is the
type of exercise that is most effective at promoting good
health.
Cycling can improve your strength, stamina and can help shed excess
weight by burning body fat. It can also help to protect you against
a wide range of ill health effects. In fact, physically active
people such as cyclists have up to a 50 per cent reduced risk
of coronary heart disease! (Department of Health).
