問題詳情：
Riding your bike regularly not only gets you where you want to go faster than on foot, but protects you against a variety of diseases and makes you feel better.
Cycling is good for your health.
Everyday cycling is an effective and enjoyable form of aerobic exercise. This is the type of exercise that is most effective at promoting good health. For example, cycling reduces the risk of serious conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity and the most common form of diabetes(糖尿病).
A study suggest that new cyclists covering short distances can reduce their risk of death by as much as 22%.
Cycling helps us with weight loss.
Cycling helps to lose weight because it burns the energy supplied by a chocolate bar or a couple of alcoholic drinks in an hour. A 15-minute bike ride to and from work five times a week burns off about 11 pounds of fat in a year. That kind of cycling pattern also meets the Government’s latest target on exercise: we should take part in some physical activity that leaves us out of breath for at least 30 minutes five times a week.
Cycling can improve your mood.
Cycling has positive effects on how we feel too. Proper exercise has been found to reduce levels of depression and stress, improve moods and raise self-respect.
Cycling can help to maintain strength and coordination(協調).
There can also be indirect benefits in terms of reducing injuries from falls, which can lead to serious disability, especially in older people. The strength and coordination that regular cycling brings make them less likely. Physically active older people have much reduced rates of broken bones.
If you are worried about traffic fumes, there may be no need. Cyclists and walkers actually absorb lower levels of pollutants from traffic fumes than car drivers.
I will leave you with my personal bike motto in the hope that it can help you become inspired to go cycling. When it is cold outside, ride faster to warm up; when it is hot outside, ride faster to create a breeze. Happy pedaling!
