The Benefits of Biking
Physical
Improved cardiovascular fitness, stronger muscles, greater coordination, and general mobility.
Mental
Better brain function and focus by increasing oxygen and the connectivity in the brain’s gray matter.
Social
Reduces stress and elevates your mood by releasing endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine.
Environmental
Decreases use of nonrenewable resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.
All Ages & All Abilities
Bike Month is for all riders, even prospective ones!
