Fitter
It's not possible to ride to work even a few days a week and not get fitter! You'll soon feel stronger, healthier and younger as you add the regular aerobic activity to your lifestyle that Doctors and Medical Professionals recommend. All without the need to take time out of your day, pay expensive gym fees or dress up like an extra from a 90's music video!!
Healthier
Long term studies show that even moderate levels of regular exercise reduce risk factors for our modern diseases and increase lifespan. Cycling to work allows you to do this exercise, in the time that you would otherwise sit behind the wheel, stuck in traffic or waiting for that inevitably delayed train or bus.
Thinner
Regular moderate aerobic exercise like cycling will make you thinner. Of the three main aerobic forms of exercise, running, cycling and swimming, cycling (especially when combined with commuting) is generally considered the most effective long term method of weight control. Without the need for a pool or the impact of running, cycling to work allows you to easily fit your exercise into your day. You'll soon find yourself riding more and more.
Weight Loss Calculator
Calorie Burner
Enter your weight in KG or lbs in the appropriate box, add the number and times of your bike journeys and see how, with time, you'll ride yourself slim. A 75KG cyclist, who only rides 15 mins to and from work for just 3 days a week will lose or keep off more than 5kg a year!! Not much in the world of crash diets, but very few people are 25kg heavier today than five years ago!! This really is the diet, where you just eat normally and get thinner!!
Quick Journeys
So many of our journeys are less than five miles and can so easily be done by bike. The more you ride, the fitter and healthier you get and more you help to reduce your carbon footprint.
Low Emissions
Bikes are the zero emission vehicle of choice! In London the average vehicle speed is less than 12mph, a speed that any moderately active person on a bike can easily beat!! All without burning any fossil fuels and making you healthier, it's no wonder that cycling is being made more and more of a transport priority.
Money saved
Servicing costs and fuel for your car are only going to go up in price, train and bus fares all continue to get more expensive, so going by bike will be saving you money straight away.
