Whether it is for self-cultivation, exercise or save money, or just for environmental purposes, cycling is definitely the best decision you can make. Do not believe it? The following are the main benefits of cycling 30.
1. Faster destination
Citroen (Citroen) study shows that large cities in the UK, biking than driving to save half the time. In fact, if you add the husband drove peak hours, 30 minutes almost can not go anywhere, with an average speed of only 7mph (about 10km / h), while the average speed of cycling is 12-15mph (approximately 19-24km / h ). Several of China's "city block" is true, but in the chaos of traffic should pay attention to safety, the best road away from the vehicles.
2. deepen sleep
Early in the morning the rider really does make you temporarily feel sleepy, but at night, when your head on the pillow, in the morning riding can improve sleep quality. Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine requires sedentary patients with insomnia 20-30 minutes a day every ride. The result? These patients sleep time in half, sleep duration by nearly an hour.
Sleep Research Center, Professor Jim Horne of Loughborough University (Jim Horne), said: "You can enjoy the sun in outdoor exercise, can help you regulate circadian rhythms, the body eliminate prejudice depth regeneration sleep cortisol (cortisol)."
3. Look Younger
Stanford University scientists have found that regular cycling can protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation, slowing the signs of aging. Harley Street dermatologist expert Christopher Rowland Payne doctors explained: "Through exercise, the body acceleration cycle, can be more efficiently deliver oxygen and nutrients to skin cells, eliminate toxins while exercise can also create an ideal in vivo. the environment, optimize the production of collagen, thereby slowing wrinkles, accelerate restoration speed. "But do not forget to apply some 30 times before going out sunscreen.
4. promote intestinal peristalsis
According to experts at the University of Bristol, said the benefits of cycling can deep into the internal body. Harley Street gastroenterologist Dr. Anna Raymond (Ana Raimundo) explains:. "Physical movement of food through the large intestine can shorten the time limit intestinal absorption of water to ensure that large will be able to smoothly discharged"
In addition, aerobic exercise can accelerate your breathing and heart rate, stimulates intestinal muscle contraction. Dr. Lei Meng said: "You can avoid feeling pain, prevent intestinal cancer."
5. Improve intelligence
Do brain wisdom shine? Go ride it. University of Illinois researchers found that cyclists every 5% increase heart and lung function, in intelligence tests can be increased by 15%. This is because the rider can help the brain produce new brain cells in the memory area, and this area is generally 30 years from the beginning of the gradual degradation.
The study authors, Arthur Kramer (Arthur Kramer) professor said:. "It promotes blood and oxygen flow to the brain, promoting regeneration of nerve endings, which is why exercise can help prevent Alzheimer's disease."
6. fight disease
You can now forget the apples, ride a bike every day, the doctor is also far from me. "Moderate exercise can keep the activity of immune cells, they will be ready to fight off infection." St George's Hospital in London, chief nutritionist Kate • Collins said the doctor.
In fact, according to research at the University of North Carolina, if the rider 30 minutes a day, five days a week, can reduce by half the day lying sick at home watching TV than people.
Cycling is no real method to see the doctor
7. Longevity
King's College London had more than 2400 pairs of identical twins been compared and found that those subjects equivalent to three times a week exercise 45 minutes ride in the "biological indicators" on the young age of nine, this is not counting others, such as body mass index Influence (BMI) and smoking and other factors.
"People who exercise regularly can significantly reduce cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, all types of cancer, the incidence of hypertension and obesity," the study conducted by Dr. Lynn Cherkasy, "said the body in self-defense and cell regeneration to become more efficient. "
8. Save the Earth
A car parking space in the park at least five simultaneous bike. Manufacturing a bicycle only about 5 percent of car manufacturing materials and energy, and bicycle during use is zero pollution.
Cycling is more efficient vehicles - you can use the same speed and go three times more energy than walking distance, if the energy is converted into gasoline, fitness, four liters of petrol lets you ride the 4800 km.

A spokesman for the Royal College of Obstetricians • Patrick O'Brien said: "There is no doubt, moderate exercise during pregnancy, such as cycling, can help conditioning the mother and protect the fetus." However, pregnant women should pay attention to the rider absolute security, but also not strenuous exercise.
Unborn baby will benefit because cyclists
11. help cardiac rehabilitation
Purdue University study shows that regular cycling can reduce by 50% the risk of heart disease. According to the British Heart Foundation, if we are to stay healthy, a year can be reduced by about 10,000 cases of death due to a heart attack. Cycling is only 35 kilometers a week, on your risk of heart disease can be reduced more than half.
12. Your boss will love you
This is not to say that you will bring some sexy ass office passionate romance for you and your boss, but the bike how to improve your relationships in the company.

The study also showed that employees who exercise regularly feel their relationships better performance, they spent less time to rest but found it easier to complete the work on time. Unfortunately, this study did not find the exact direct between cyclists and promotion of contact.
13. Cycling from cancer
There is considerable evidence that any movement will help against cancer, but some studies suggest that cyclists seem to be specially ordered for the body's cells designed to work in SPORTS. A long-term study by Finnish researchers found that men with at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day, the incidence of cancer can be reduced by half. They mention what the "moderate exercise" is it? - Cycling to work. Other studies have found that women often cyclists risk of breast cancer can be reduced by 34%.
14. In the seat weight loss
Many people want to lose weight think jogging is the best way. While jogging can burn a lot of fat, but if you are a little distance away from the ideal weight, then this is not for you to prepare tailored exercise. Think about it - two to three times your body weight, it will shock the body when your feet touch the ground. If your weight is 100 kg, which is a big force! Instead, start from bike - your weight is borne by the majority of seats, so the bones and joints will not wear each other. Running, you can wait and see ......
15. You will make more money
If you ride a bike to lose weight, then you really turned a profit ...... Well, maybe not so much. From Ohio State University • American researcher Jay Belsky Zagora, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data to proceed with the analysis - samples from 1985 to 2000 between regularly interviewed 7300 people - look at their degree of obesity and wealth in this period was how to change the relationship between changes. Zagora Chhabra summary, the body mass index (BMI) increased by one unit lost 800 pounds or the equivalent of wealth reduced eight percent. Therefore, the use bike lose some weight, while making money.
16. Avoid gas
You might think that riding in the city inhale harmful exhaust far more than car drivers and passengers. A study conducted by Imperial College London shows that is not true. The researchers found that passenger buses, taxis and cars of inhalation of contaminated substantially much more than cyclists and pedestrians.
On average, taxi passengers are exposed to more than 100,000 per cubic centimeter of ultrafine particles, the particles can enter the lungs and destroy tissue cells. Bus passengers will inhale less than 100,000 ultrafine particles, inhale about 40,000 passenger cars. The cyclists only exposed to every cubic centimeter of air environment in 8000 ultrafine particles. Studies suggest that the reason why cycling will be relatively clean, because we are walking in the side of the road, not the driver, and the exhaust pipe in a straight line.
Cyclists than motorists inhale less harmful substances

Whether you want to improve the look of tennis or fitness level, proper cycling is a good way to start. Medical research program called "aerobic endurance training to improve the standard of football," the Norwegian recent show, biking chain benefits to other sports and activities is enormous.
20. creative breakthroughs
Whether writers, musicians, artists, senior managers or other professionals, almost all solved by the method of psychological barriers to exercise, make decisions, the more famous include Jeremy Paxman (Jeremy Paxman), Alan • Hugh Sir grid (Sir Alan Sugar) and the history of ballet class road Choir (Spandau Ballet). One study found that in just 25 minutes of aerobic exercise at least one can stimulate creative thinking. This is mainly due to the continuous delivery of oxygen to the brain gray matter in the most important, stimulate neurons, so that you can escape the chaos and "real life" of pressure, breathe.
21. You are helping others
Many cyclists use their health and determination to raise money for those less fortunate. Since 1980, London - Brighton bike ride has raised over forty-five million pounds for the British Heart Foundation, there are numerous cycling activities are doing charity for the noble efforts.

23. The increase in lung capacity
We all know that cyclists breathe faster than not cycling. COD cycling when an adult is watching TV at the same time when oxygen demand of 10 times. If you can often ride, we can gradually strengthen the cardiovascular system, so your heart and lungs work more efficiently, more and faster access to oxygen. In other words, exercise can do more with less. How it sounds?
24. burn more fat
Exercise physiologists found that the body's metabolic rate - to burn calories and fat efficiency - not only in cycling over car increase, and will be maintained for several hours after the ride. Loughborough University exercise physiologist Mark Simpson said: "Even if the ride is only 30 minutes, will continue for several hours after the burn a lot of calories."

Neuroscientist at the University of Bonn to observe the use of a technique called positron emission tomography of 10 volunteers before and after brain endorphin aerobic exercise. By comparison, they found evidence of the brain and the front edge portion of the happiness hormone - known in the region and dealing with emotional processing and pressure.

A folding bicycle is a bicycle designed to fold into a compact form, facilitating transport and storage. When folded, the bikes can be more easily carried into buildings and houses or on public transportation (facilitating mixed-mode commuting and bicycle commuting), and more easily stored in compact living quarters or aboard a car, boat or plane.
Folding mechanisms vary, with each offering a distinct combination of folding speed, folding ease, compactness, ride, weight, durability and price. Distinguished by the complexities of their folding mechanism, more demanding structural requirements, greater number of parts, and more specialized market appeal, folding bikes may be more expensive than comparable non-folding models. The choice of model, apart from cost considerations, is a matter of resolving the various practical requirements: a quick easy fold, compact folded size, or a faster but less compact model.
