Did you know?

Cycling is a low impact aerobic workout that burns calories while strengthening your legs, lower back and abdomen and….. it’s fun! An 80 kilogram cyclist pedalling 20 kilometres an hour can burn off 400 calories – that’s about the same amount of calories as a Quarter Pounder. A Danish study found that cycling just three hours a week can reduce the risk of dying by almost 40%. Riding a bicycle 10km each way to work saves 1.3 tonnes of greenhouse gases every year.

So, you get to lose weight and get stronger all while you’re enjoying the outdoors with your family or friends. Sounds terrible doesn’t it!
