2 The bicycle is the preferred mean of transport for all ecologists
The use of bicycles means practically reappropriating the quality of life. This actually is being able to use ecological means of transport and being able to play sports safely. Raising awareness among cities of ecology. Creating new bike paths and roads where you can walk is also a goal for new generations. There are studies that ensure that those who pedal breathe less smog than those who are locked in the car waiting for the green light. Not to mention stress! Important research conducted in Sweden has found that all workers who use cars or public transport, suffer more often from stress, tiredness, and poor sleep quality. For this reason, chronic latecomers would solve many of their problems, showing all their agility by confronting the traffic on a bicycle. They won’t even have to waste time looking desperately for parking in the center of the cities! In fact, everyone should choose the bicycle as the ideal vehicle and enjoy all its benefits, thinking that it does not even produce polluting emissions and contributes to the reduction of the greenhouse effect. The bicycle is anti-stress, it can be recommended for rehabilitation and thanks to the open-air factor, it stimulates the production of vitamin D by fighting osteoporosis, for the benefit of bones and skin.
3 The bicycle is an excellent solution for doing sport, because pedaling tones the body and sculpts the legs. Getting used to the pleasure of movement from an early age represents an important goal in the fight against obesity, in the direction of a sport to be experienced in everyday life. For those who love bicycles, pedaling is not just a matter of sport, but it is a real philosophy of life and studies confirm. Surveys show that cyclists tend to have higher resilience, even in their daily activities. Not all activities affect endorphins in the same way. Spending time in the open air, being on the move and doing sports in a group represent some of the contexts that more than others are capable of promoting the release of these substances in the brain. It is easy to understand why: the presence of nature, the simple fact of breathing deeply in a green space, being surrounded by trees makes us feel happy and free.
