World Bicycle Day: Six Benefits Of Bicycle To Your Health

The United Nations General Assembly declared 3rd June as International World Bicycle Day to recognize the uniqueness, longevity, and versatility of the bicycle, which are affordable, environmentally friendly, and benefits your health. Here are seven benefits of cycling that you may not know.

Promotes weight loss                                                                                                  

If you’re trying to lose weight, or want to maintain weight loss that you’ve worked hard to achieve, biking can be a great way to achieve this goal. However, if you are looking to maximize your weight loss and fat burn, you might want to turn up your cycling workout up a notch.

Builds muscles

Biking builds muscle particularly around the glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves. Cycling tones and works many muscles in the body. While the primary muscles targeted are certainly the lower body muscles, the arm muscles, as well as the core, also get in a great workout.

Help people with cancer

There are enough evidence that any exercise is useful in warding off cancer, but some studies have shown that cycling is specifically good for keeping your cells in working order.

It is environment friendly

Besides the health benefits of riding a bicycle, it is also environmentally friendly as a park space for a car can accommodate up to 20 bicycles. Also, it takes around 5 percent of the materials and energy used to make a car to build a bike, and a bike produces zero pollution.

Bikes also are efficient, too. You travel around three times as fast as walking for the same amount of energy

Help people with mental health

Bike riding regularly can help several people with mental health conditions like stress, anxiety, and depression.

Builds core muscles

Starting your day with a healthy activity like cycling wakes you up by boosting your circulation and allows you to start your day with a sense of accomplishment. This often leads to feeling more inclined toward making healthy choices and decisions. Riding a bicycle also benefits your health as it works your core muscles, including your back and abdominals.
