If you’ve always thought about scrapping your car and using
a bike to commute everywhere, but have come up with a list as long as your arm
as to why can’t, stop with the excuses and just do it! Here’s
a list of reasons why you should just do it, ditch the car and get on a bike!
Save money
If
you choose to get rid of your car, you will save on insurance costs, tax,
petrol and costly vehicle repairs. That money
can quickly mount up over the course of a year, well into the thousands of
pounds.
Improve your health
Cycling everywhere will improve your overall health and
lifestyle. Just like any form of exercise it will help you to lose weight,
reduce your stress and improve your overall fitness. Cycling also has many
other health benefits: Regular cycling improves
heart health, with just 20 miles a week reducing the risk of coronary heart
disease by 20%.
Get fit
As cycling is a form of cardiovascular exercise, it will increase
your fitness levels and help you to gain strength.
Gain pleasure from
your commute
Without being trapped inside a car, you’ll have the chance
to notice the scenery around you. Traffic will no longer be an issue and you
won’t have to spend any more time stressed out and worrying about being late.
Save the environment
You may not be able to save
the environment single handed, but you can certainly do your bit and you will
feel better knowing that you are.
