The european\u00a0mobility week<\/a>\u00a0remind us about the advantages of using alternative means of transport, as for instance riding the bike<\/strong>. It is a healthy habit with a lot of benefits: it\u00a0improves heart rhythm<\/a>,\u00a0strengthens muscles, avoids pollution and can make you know people. Ride the bike is one of the alternatives to leave the car at home and to take all the advantages<\/strong> of using the bicycle. In this article\u00a0we tell you about them.<\/p>\n

Riding the bike is something that arrived late, if we think that the wheel was invented in 3.500 b.C<\/a>. The first bicycle with pedals appears in France (1860)<\/a>. In less than 40 years it already had the first motor<\/a>. But the bike has still more benefits that the motor-powered vehicles:<\/p>\n

Riding the bike is good for health<\/h4>\n

Riding the bike is a form of doing exercise and a good way to fight obesity<\/strong>. It also reduces up to a 50 percent of the heart rhythm and decreases blood pressure. Another\u00a0advantage about riding the bike is to burn fats, lose weight and strengthen legs.<\/p>\n

While riding the bike, 70-80% of the body is on the seat.\u00a0If we ride in a good position, our back will get stronger and we will prevent back pain<\/a>. It increases lung capacity and\u00a0reduces cholesterol and the chances of suffering from an heart attack.<\/p>\n

It is important to ride the bike in a good position. This can prevent injuries and pains. It concerns different issues: the position and the height of the seat, the distance, the handlebars and the way we put the foot on the pedal. In order to make sure that we are riding in a right position, we suggest to adapt the seat so that the feet only touch the ground tiptoes. The\u00a0elbows have to be\u00a0slightly bent and\u00a0the\u00a0physiological curvature of\u00a0the spine has to be respected.<\/p>\n

Another benefit of riding a\u00a0bike: increases self esteem<\/h4>\n

When we make physical exercise, we\u00a0secrete hormones (endorphins) that make us feel better<\/strong>. By riding\u00a0the bike\u00a0we avoid stress and sleep better. You will not find none of these advantages in\u00a0driving a car, no matter how powerful it is.<\/p>\n

Riding the bike is ecological<\/h4>\n

Like other group activities, riding the bike make it easier to know people and it is an outdoor activity. It also is a clean mean of transport: it does not pollute, doesn’t provoque any CO2 emission<\/strong> and it is faster than walking. In more and more cities, no matter how big they are,\u00a0the use of bicycles is promoted with municipal bike rental services.<\/p>\n

if you drive a car, you are producing 17 kilos of\u00a0CO2 every 100 km. Both you and your environment will see the benefits of riding a bike.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"riding-the-bike\"<\/a>
The bicycle was invented on the XIX century and very soon\u00a0find a competitor in the motorcycle, but it gives you a lot more advantages (physical and animistic) than a motorcycle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last week it was the european mobility week and it may be an excuse to start changing our habits. Riding the bike can be a good purpose.\u00a0It is healthier<\/span>, it enhances<\/span>\u00a0our health and it has nothing to envy to other means of transport for short trips. It occupies less than a car, it is easy to park and it is the perfect solution for the “no car” days or areas of the cities. Don’t wait more, today may be the day to form\u00a0this new and healthy habit!<\/span><\/p>\n
