Enjoy the benefits of riding a bike
There are so many benefits to be enjoyed from riding a bike, and Cycle September is about embracing each and every one of them. Riding a bike can boost your physical health – even a ten minute ride can boost your immune system, and improve cardiovascular health. Cycling is also a mindful activity that promotes the release of endorphins and can reduce the causes of depression. What’s more you can protect the health of the planet by leaving your car at home, and reducing your carbon footprint. You might even save money, cutting down on transport and parking costs and car maintenance.
