WHY RIDE?

Improved Cardiovascular Health:
Cycling gets your heart pumping, will improve cardiovascular function and reduces the risks associated with heart disease.

Increased Muscle Strength and Endurance:
Works various muscle groups on a ride like legs, core and parts of your upper body too while you control balance for stability.

Weight Management:
Cycling is a calorie burner which can help with losing or maintaining weight.

Improved Joint Mobility and Flexibility:
Loosen up those joints through the repetitive motion of pedalling, especially your hips and knees.

Low-Impact Exercise:
Cycling is a low-impact activity

June is Bike Month - In what way can you 'two wheel' for the month (or more)?
Learn to ride: Maybe take up riding for the first time - you are never too old to start.

Explore more: If you are a regular rider, why not take family or friends on a bike trip. It could be a few hours, or a few days.

Re-route a routine: change up your routine by adding in something different. How about riding to work or school, bike to do groceries or invite a friend for a ride (instead of a coffee).

Are you already an advid rider...what can you share about how you celebrate Bike Month?
