There were already a lot of cyclists before the pandemic, but cycling boomed its way into some people’s lives during this pandemic. There is no day that you won’t see them on the streets. Cycling is another way of transportation, a form of exercise, and it is also great for the environment because cycling produces no fuels burned, resulting in a reduction of air pollution. However, cycling around the city without bike lanes is hazardous, not to mention that some people also leave the city to experience challenging routes and visit beautiful places.
Studies confirm that cycling boosts brainpower, can help with knee problems, improves heart health, helps you stay in shape, lowers the risk of some cancers, promotes a longer life, slows aging, reduces stress, improves posture, enhances navigation skills, fosters better coordination, reduces the risk of diseases, improves self-esteem, and, generally, exercising makes your brain release endorphins that trigger a positive feeling inside the body.
Riding a bicycle to go to beautiful places is rewarding. However, remember to prioritize safety and health, practice safety health protocols, and take vitamins daily. It is very important to exercise, especially during this pandemic, where we all need to be healthy to have a strong immune system and take small steps to help save the environment.
