Cycling is a sport for all ages, and while cycling has many benefits, it has two aspects and certain disadvantages. How much do you know?

Let’s talk about the benefits of cycling first.

1. It is good for the body.

Bicycles are one of the best tools for overcoming heart problems. Cycling can also prevent high blood pressure, sometimes more effectively than medication. It also prevents obesity, hardening of the arteries, and makes bones strong.

2. Environmental protection and freedom.

Bicycles are green and environmentally friendly means of transportation. You will feel very free and exhilarated on this two-wheeled bike that pedals under your own power.

3. Exercise the respiratory system.

Cycling can increase lung capacity, promote blood circulation in the body, speed up the metabolism of substances, and enhance people's cardiovascular system and respiratory system.

4. Release the pressure.

You can not only enjoy the scenery along the way, but also make yourself sweat, which has a good effect on releasing pressure and relieving tension.

Harm.

1. Shoulder and neck pain.

If your bike doesn't fit your body type, the lower handlebars and longer top tube can easily make your shoulders sore.

2. Low back pain.

If you ride a bike, your back needs to be straight. Staying in a straight back position for long periods of time can make your back sore and exhausted.

3. Knee pain.

Knee pain means you may have joint damage while riding a bike.

4. Upper limb pain.

When riding a bike, the arm only needs to hold the handlebars and there is no other way to move. Holding the handlebars for long periods of time can reduce blood circulation in your arms and damage your arms.

Maintenance of the bike is also important.

If you are riding a bike other than yours, remember to adjust the saddle to the proper height before riding.

Check whether the tire pressure is sufficient, if not, hit the appropriate pressure, check whether the tire wall has cracks, whether the tire tread is too shallow, and replace the tire if necessary.

Brake the front brake, rock your body back and forth, if there is a gap in the rocking, you need to readjust the front wrist.

After starting, try to change the front and rear gears respectively, whether it can be smoothly changed to each gear, and whether there is any abnormal noise.

On a two-wheeled bike, you will feel very free and carefree.
