Cycling has been enjoyed by many people since the 19th Century. Cycling
was first popular in Europe, and later in North America. Shortly after,
cycling gained popularity throughout the remainder of the world.
Cycling is primarily used as a mode of transportation. One can also use
cycling for recreation and sport.
Many people from various communities and backgrounds, use cycling for
recreation and fitness. Cycling is very enjoyable and being such, has
made many people more fit and in better health. We often see people
riding a bike, at most hours of the day. Cycling is great for
cardiovascular improvement and general level of fitness.
Cycling can also improve your
body's resistance to diseases, such as Heart Disease and Diabetes,
because it lowers blood pressure and reduces stress. Also, cycling can
also assist the distribution of the nutrients in your blood, by
increasing your blood flow and helping to maintain the health of our
arteries. All in all, cycling has become a very important activity in
our life. Hopefully, with proper care and attitude, we can enjoy cycling
as a form of recreational exercise, as a sport and as a mode of
personal transportation, for our entire life.
