It can be done for recreation and\/or competitive sport, or it can simply be used to get one from point A to B. Cycling has been around since at least as early as 1817 when Denis Johnson recorded his first ever bike ride in Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of cycling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a very environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Cycling can help cut down on, or even eliminate altogether, pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions from cars, reducing smog that comes from vehicle exhaust in cities. Cycling is also a great way to stay fit; many people choose cycling as their primary form of exercise because it works out the legs without putting too much stress on the joints. Cycling is also a cheap way of getting around, especially compared to owning your own car. Cycling can help one save thousands of dollars in gas and maintenance costs, saving money for other purposes such as entertainment or paying off debts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to cycle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To cycle, one first starts by determining where to go. Cycling can be done for recreation or commuting; both of which have different routes that are chosen based on the reason for travel. Next, one needs to determine how long they want to ride and what kind of bike will work best for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"558\" src=\"https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/bicycle-bicycle-cycling-clouds-colorado-rocky-mountains-mountains-bike-blue-sky-exercise-bikes_t20_WQ799w-Medium-1024x558.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/bicycle-bicycle-cycling-clouds-colorado-rocky-mountains-mountains-bike-blue-sky-exercise-bikes_t20_WQ799w-Medium-1024x558.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/bicycle-bicycle-cycling-clouds-colorado-rocky-mountains-mountains-bike-blue-sky-exercise-bikes_t20_WQ799w-Medium-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/bicycle-bicycle-cycling-clouds-colorado-rocky-mountains-mountains-bike-blue-sky-exercise-bikes_t20_WQ799w-Medium-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/bicycle-bicycle-cycling-clouds-colorado-rocky-mountains-mountains-bike-blue-sky-exercise-bikes_t20_WQ799w-Medium-150x82.jpg 150w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/bicycle-bicycle-cycling-clouds-colorado-rocky-mountains-mountains-bike-blue-sky-exercise-bikes_t20_WQ799w-Medium.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Etiquette and safety tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cycling is a great way to get around town, but it does come with its own set of rules and safety tips. In a group is usually safer than going alone; this will allow one to keep an eye out for other cyclists as well as cars and pedestrians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cycle-related injuries and prevention&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cycling can be very safe, but it is not without its risks. Cycling accidents are a common occurrence; they can be caused by other cyclists, cars, or pedestrians. Cycling accidents and injuries can sometimes cause serious damage to the cyclist involved; the most common injuries sustained in cycling accidents include neck, back or head injuries or even broken bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for getting started with cycling (bike type, budget, etc.)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cycling is a great way to get around town or cross country, but it does take some training and preparation. It can be hard work for the first time cyclists, especially if they are not used to using their muscles in such a way. Cycling also requires a good bike; one should not go cheap when buying a bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thought<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope this article helps you to understand more about cycling and its benefits. Cycling is a great way to get around town, but it is vital that you first understand the basics before starting out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is cycling Cycling is the activity of moving oneself by bicycle.
