For most people, it seems impractical to spend a few hours a day riding a bike. But sticking to the daily ride itself is still very feasible, it can have a positive impact on your life.

Note: If you are not ready to ride on a daily basis, then we suggest you try to stick to it in the short term, which will prompt you to gradually develop a habit.

1. Enjoy your commute ride.

If you want to ride a bike every day, but the time is tight, then one of the most ideal ways to integrate it into your living arrangements is to become part of your daily commute. Unlike gym exercises, bicycles can easily be combined with everyday life. It takes a few minutes to ride to and from the office.

2. Exercise your mind.

Once you develop the habit of cycling to work, you will be better prepared for what will happen in the future. For example, on weekends, if you don't have to use a car, you can do things faster and more easily by cycling. Related research has found that daily exercise will make you energetic and reduce fatigue. Even a short 30-minute workout will improve your reaction time, memory, and inspire your creativity.

Riding also helps relieve joint stress and also reduces mental anxiety and depression.

3. Counteract the adverse effects of excessive diet.

We often fantasize that if you want to eat whatever you want to eat every day, but the weight will not increase, how good it is! Forget it, wake up, even if you exercise hard, still can't let you eat another doughnut. However, daily cycling exercises can help you relax your diet.

4. Extend life.

Cycling commuting not only makes your life healthier and more happy, but sticking to cycling year after year will make you live longer. In Norway, a large study found that a group of more than 70 and more than 80 older men found that 30 minutes of exercise per day extended the life of these men by five years compared to men who did not do any physical activity.

Another study in Taiwan, China, surveyed more than 400,000 adults, asked about their time of exercise, and conducted an eight-year follow-up survey of respondents. It turned out that only 15 minutes of exercise per day increased their life expectancy by 3 years. When the investigators started the study, none of these people were young people, and most of them did not have incredible athletic ability. So, it's not too late to start now.
