Benefits of cycling

All type of exercise is beneficial, but cycling is especially beneficial. This is because its transportation and a work-out rolled into one. Cycling is a pollution-free, environmentally sustainable mode of transport which makes negligible contributions to overcrowding. Cycling is often touted as a great way to get fit and there’s scientific evidence to back up this claim. Cycling is advantageous as a cardio-vascular exercise and its kind to joints, unlike running.

Mechanical road transport is a major source of noise in the environment, while cycling is nearly silent. By lowering motor traffic we can reduce the levels of real and perceived risk for those on foot and travelling by bike, as well as decreasing social barring.

Apart from stimulating a person’s cardio-health, cycling can be a wholesome workout tool to improve the mental, physical and overall well-being of a person. As the rate of Obesity is growing among Indian kids cycling right from childhood tones up the body, decreasing the risks of obesity-related ailments later in life. Since the average height in India is shorter than people in the rest of the world, cycling can help in increasing height during the initial years of growth by stretching the muscles.

This combination results in reduced demand for oxygen in the body. With a reduced load of pumping oxygen, the heart functions well and the stress on the organ is relieved.
