Cycling in the UK: A Photographic Collection

Bicycling has become a long-term pursuit that provides both long-term and short-term benefits. It’s an enjoyable practise including being outdoors and away from the less useful activities like tv, monitor and refrigerator. It is a keen interest that not only the young and active should participate, but also children as young as infants as well as the elderly. However, if they have the correct facilities, people with disabilities will do so too. Cycling blends into a person’s lifestyle more easily than many other physical activities as it can be used physically, to go from one location to another unlike, say, swimming that is enjoyable but far more constrained by the time of year and availability.

It’s strange that everywhere I go, there’s always people cycling and regardless the age group. Unlike in my hometown, where it seems to be less regarded as an essential mode for travel and majority of the people would prefer motorcycles rather than a cycle.

One of cycling’s key health benefits is that it strengthens the heart, increases stamina and enhances circulation that decreases the risks from coronary heart disease, one of the major causes of death. A cyclist burns a lot of calories particularly when they’re cycling a good distance or at a moderate to fast speed. Cycling often has the benefit of increasing a person’s metabolism, their internal engine, even after the ride is over. Reducing body weight reduces joint pressure allowing cycling a duel advantage for those suffering from weakened knees.
