14 Good Effects Of Cycling.

People take up cycling for many reasons. It may be for health reasons. It may also be because they want to help the environment. No matter what the reason may be, taking up cycling is one of the best lifestyle choices you can make.

Some people are not convinced. They see cycling as a time-waste, best left to indolent youngsters. They see cycling as an inefficient and physically strenuous mode of transport. In short, cycling as a mode of transport is more heat than light. For such people, here are 14 reasons why they ought to take up cycling.

1. In major cities, cycling is demonstrably better than using cars or public transport. People in cars generally spend more than 30 minutes stuck in traffic jams. Their average speed is about 6 kmph. A person on a bicycle has an average speed of about 12 kmph. You can easily beat the daily rush hour!

2. Riding a bicycle is exhausting, but it guarantees a good night’s sleep. Even a ride of 20 minutes

every day increases the length and quality of sleep at night. Those suffering from insomnia will be benefited by riding the bicycle. The exertion outside in the sun helps to get your circadian rhythm in order and reduces the concentration of stress hormones that may prevent deep sleep.

3. Regular cycling protects the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation and also helps to reduce the signs of ageing. Cycling causes increased circulation of oxygenated blood to the skin, which in turn increases the production of collagen.

4. Physical activity due to cycling decreases the time taken by food to reach the large intestine. This means you have softer stools and the amount of water absorbed back into the body is limited. The aerobic exercise caused by cycling helps to stimulate the contraction of intestinal muscles. This prevents you from feeling bloated.

5. Cycling boosts the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, especially to the hippocampus—the region responsible for memory. The regular exercise due to cycling helps to reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.

6. Riding once a day keeps the doctor away. Moderate exercise keeps the immune cells active so they respond to infection swiftly. Those who cycle for 30 minutes five days a week fall ill less than those who lead sedentary lifestyles.  

7. Researchers at King’s College London found

out that people who ride for just 45 minutes thrice a week remain biologically younger than those who don’t. Those who exercise regularly have less risk of having heart disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes. Through regular cycling, the body becomes adept at taking care of itself.

8. You can park twenty bicycles in the space necessary for one car. A bicycle takes just 5% of the materials it takes to make a car. Bicycles produce zero pollution.

9. Being physically active improves you vascular health, which in turn improves your sex drive. Researchers at Harvard University have found that men who cycle regularly have a 30% lower risk of becoming impotent than those who don’t.

10. Moderate cycling during pregnancy increases the chances of having a normal labour. It also helps in decreasing the time taken to recover from the pregnancy.

11. Regular cycling decreases the chances of contracting heart disease by about 50%. Cycling just 20 miles a week reduces the risk of heart disease.

12. A study found out that employees who cycle to work show improved ability to manage stress and workload. Such employees show greater motivation as well as initiative.

13. Exercise in general helps to ward off cancer. Cycling is especially great in increasing circulation to the cells, which helps them to remain in working order. Finnish researchers found that at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise reduces the chance of getting cancer by half.

14. Cycling is an excellent and gentle way to lose weight. Compared to jogging, most of your weight is supported by the saddle. Thus, your skeleton does not feel the stress of exercise.
