We all like a freebie, right? Drive to work and you have that lovely temperature-controlled environment and music of your choice. Get public transport to work and it’s better for the environment, not always quick and reliable, but you can get some work done or social stuff on your phone. Walk or run to work – the best! But for most of us, just too far, too sweaty and not practical. Cycle to work, and it ticks all the boxes. Okay not everyone has a bike or lives a cyclable distance to the office. But for those that can incorporate some cycle into their commute – bingo. A free cardio workout; 30 minutes commuting could burn 300-500 calories. And did you know, it’s not just a physical workout, but you get a great mental workout too; releasing endorphins, improving brain function, reducing stress, combating depression and anxiety, building resilience, exposure to nature that can reduce tension…. I knew I felt better after a cycle, but this is news to me too! I’m off for a cycle now! Until next time; #handlebars_haynes
