Five good
reasons to cycle
1. Cycling exercises most of the muscles in your legs and bum
– so it’s an excellent way to tone these areas.
2. It’s a practical way to keep fit. 75% all personal journeys
are less than 5 miles long – that’s half an hour on a bike.
3. It’s cheaper than joining a gym! Bicycles require no MOT,
no insurance, no licensing and above all no fuel. Bicycles can
be parked almost anywhere for free.
4. Switching short journeys from car to bicycle will benefit
both your health and community. You'll be helping to reduce
noise, air pollution and traffic congestion too.
5. Riding a bike can help you maintain a healthy weight.
Average cycling burns about 300 calories per hour and gives a
level of fitness equivalent to being 10 years younger.
