Benefits of Cycling

Health And Economic Benefit Gained From Bicycle commuting

If a person weighs about 220, and rides a bicycle 30 minutes one way in commuting to work, he could burn 1056 calories in the hour he spends commuting to and from work. That would work out to 5280 calories per week. With a diet designed to simply maintain your weight, you could lose 1.5 pounds per week without any serious dieting.

You will have to adjust your calorie intake until it just meets your daily requirements, and you should consult your physician for help in this area, and to insure you are fit enough for the riding you want to do. You will find that you feel better and better as you exercise more, and you will find that cycling is one of the more enjoyable forms of exercise. If you can also reduce your commuting costs, the benefit of bicycling may produce an economic benefit as well.
