IS A BETTER MODE OF TRANSPORT FOR MULTIPLE REASONS’

Cycling has been identified in many countries as a far better mode of transport for multiple reasons. These reasons are environmental and fitness purposes obviously, which means commuting to work & getting back as well as exercising which is the best exercise for the abdomen & lower body workout. For concerns related to the environment, a huge population commute daily to work while they use their cycles as a means of transport. We are talking about Denmark, Norway, the U.K., Sweden, France, Finland & Italy. At the same time, people are becoming more environmentally friendly as well as more environmentally aware. For far more obvious reasons, this has increased the use of bicycles.

Walking & cycling are more than low-carbon modes of transport that enhance urban quality and facilitate social cohesion. Both are regarded as cheap as well as flexible modes. These are modes of transportation without which most people in low & middle-income countries would be unable to participate in an economy & community. Also, access to education, healthcare & other urban services. A cycle is handier than your legs as it will make you less tired, & the time factor also is the key.

This is according to the U.N. Environment’s Global Report on walking & cycling as means of transport. The report was published in the year 2016. The report claims that at least 60% of the trips are made by bike in Chinese cities. However, in the African cities, i.e. the developing world, the share is closer to 5%, which is also rising. In the Netherlands, i.e. also known as

Holland, it is reported that there are a total of approx. 4 billion cycle trips. A distance span of 15 billion K.M.s approximately.

According To the Institute for Transportation:

According to the Institute for Transportation & Development Policy’s bike-share planning guide reports, these are stats. The report claims that as of today, more than 600 cities worldwide have their bike-share systems, and more interesting programs are starting every year. According to this transportation report, the largest bike-sharing systems are in the most populated cities in China, where commuting is an issue. These are systems in Hangzhou and Shanghai. In the giant European economies, i.e. in Paris, the French capital & London, the capital city of the U.K., there are highly successful systems. These systems have helped to promote the use of cycles as a viable & valued transport option. The third city, apart from the two Chinese cities in the list, is the capital city of the United States, i.e. Washington D.C.

Cycling Leads to Better Longevity & A Healthier Life:

It leads to better longevity or life expectancy as well as a stronger life, i.e. a life which is healthy & strong. The popularity levels have increased for various reasons rather than just quality or longevity of life. Helps you very effectively reduce the risk of diabetes, some forms of Cancer, CV or Cardiovascular diseases and finally, depression is reduced alarmingly well.

UK-based research has revealed that cycling to the workplace is linked to a 44% lower risk of developing cancer. A 46% lower risk of CV or Cardiovascular disease compared to commuting by car or public transport.

A daily exercise routine, i.e. using a cycle on short routes or cycling as an exercise routine, is a huge cause of prolonged life expectancy. This L.E. or Life-expectancy is approximately increased by at least 3.3 years, three years & 3 months. The usage of cycling regularly for exercise & for commuting to work also is a massive boost towards physical fitness. Thus, while being an efficient way of preventing obesity.

Is A Massive Cause Of Positive Feeling & An Easy Exercise?

Are you looking for an exercise which is easier for you to help you get in shape? Also, you need to think far more positively & your positive thinking is good for your career & your emotional life. Cycling is something that is the answer for both. It is a unique & most admirable source of positive feeling & thinking positive always.

Again, in the Capital of the US, Washington, the transport Research board’s 92 Annual meetings reported that people who walk or cycle are more satisfied. They are less stressed, far more relaxed & experience greater feelings of freedom. This is as compared to people who drive to work. The use of the bicycle is recommended as it improves physical health. However, also has a positive impact on mental health as well as subjective well-being?

Positive feelings & feeling good about yourself & your health is a key part of a human’s life. Cycling drastically improves a person’s psychology & makes them more optimistic and the mental healing process. A process that is good for life while encountering life challenges.

Lowers The GHG Emissions:

Cycling helps in reducing GHG or Greenhouse Gas emissions to interesting levels. According to environmental-based research, each 7 km by bicycle will surely save an emission of 1KG of CO2 compared to a similar distance by car. The most active country has been the Netherlands, as Dutch people have avoided 1.40 million tonnes of Carbon dioxide each year by cycling. Greenhouse Gases are very dangerous gases & have lots of environmental hazards.

This sums it up as the benefits of cycling are multiple & have helped people groom themselves in terms of their physical health & emotional well-being. The environmental benefits are obvious ones that stand tall while people are getting more aware of using cycling for environmental concerns. Lastly, it’s an exercise that reduces fuel costs.
