1. Cycling helps the cardiovascular system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cycling<\/strong> <\/a>is an aerobic activity, which means that as you cycle observing your city (noticing details you’d never notice if you had taken the car) you are also training your heart <\/strong>and lungs<\/strong>. It is one of the forms of exercise recommended by the NHS to reduce the risk of developing heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercising generates the production of endorphins<\/strong>, which improve mood and reduce depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
