Cycling is the best means of transportation and exercise for three reasons. First, it is one of the safest forms of exercise. A daily bike ride will help improve your breathing (especially if you smoke) and gently increase your energy. Cycling, therefore, is suitable for people of all ages, but if you have any medical problems, check with your doctor before you start. Besides being an excellent form of exercise, cycling allows you to see the country as you ride your bike slowly through small quiet villages or beautiful forest paths. Cycling is also an easy, convenient and inexpensive means of transportation. Ride your bike to school and you never get held up in traffic on the way! You’ll be in control, keep your teacher happy and be healthier, too.
