Why YOU Should Cycle Again

Do you still remember begging your parents to buy you that shiny new piece of metal sold at the mall? Or, did you saved pennies, did chores, mowed your neighbors' lawns just to get that new bike? If yes, when was the last time you rode it? It is just a sad thing that people were too enthusiastic to learn biking when they were young. And when they grow older, they forget all about it. The once most precious thing on earth is left to rust in the garage or perhaps was already sold on e-Bay! If you think bikes are just for kids and it's just but normal to outgrow them, think again. Here are some simple reasons why you should start pedals cycling again.

First, it is the most egalitarian sport in the whole world. Young kids on trainer wheels, old people with cracking bones, that poor man on a rickety bike and even George Bush do pedals cycling! From its invention a century ago, millions of different kinds of people around the world are having so much fun on their bikes. Do you still remember that sense of freedom you felt every time you descend so fast downhill? You can't experience that on a car. But when you bike, just climbing a steep hill in a short time already gives a sense of achievement.

You can even burn 600 calories for just an hour of cycling. Moreover, it is also a low impact aerobic exercise that can lead you to toned muscles and a perfect figure in no time. It is also good for the heart and is one of the ways to release serotonin that results into a feeling of well-being. Forego that sedentary life in riding motorcycles or cars. Shop, go to work, and have plenty of exercise in pedals cycling on your bike.

If health reasons can't convince you, let's deal with financial matters. Are high petrol prices hitting you badly? If yes, isn't this a good enough reason to consider pedals cycling again? You can save on petrol you can even beat cars! With all the congested streets nowadays surely you haven't experienced traffic on a cycling lane.

And if you love mother earth but can't plant trees, why not do her a favor in pedals cycling? Moreover, bikes take less money to maintain. You don't need to go to a car wash and pay handsome fees to a mechanic because you can do the cleaning and tweaking all by yourself. Not only that. Bikes also encounter fewer street accidents and fatal injuries can be avoided by wearing helmets.
