The Benefits of Riding a Bike to and from that Gainesville Apartment
For many children, a bicycle is a first step toward freedom. Those were the good ole days. But there’s no need to think of bike riding in terms of childhood memories. In fact, as we grow older, there are many long-term health benefits to regular bicycling.
Some of the reasons bike riding is a healthy choice are:
- It is a great cardiovascular exercise, which is good for the heart and lungs
- It promotes great circulation to the lower extremities because of the full range of motion it requires – and it’s low impact, so it’s kind to the joints
- It promotes good balance
- It is a great way to relieve stress after a long day
- It is also great strength training, especially for the lower body
Riding a bike is also a better alternative for the environment than driving a car. For residents who have a short walk to campus or a job from their Gainesville apartment, it may be time to think about getting a bicycle to reduce that carbon footprint and save money on gas.
