Why cycling is good for us
Cycling is a fun activity that helps improve many areas of your health such as, cardiovascular, respiratory, strength, movement, flexibility and can help maintain a healthy weight.
Cycling can also help improve you mental health relieving stress, anxiety and depression.
Cycling is a low-impact activity that puts less stress on the joints than running or other high-impact activities, making it an excellent choice for people with arthritis or joint pain.
