And those who drive fast, but for short distances, burn several times more fat than those who drive for a long time, but more slowly.
Improvement of the skin condition. Regular cycling helps slow down skin aging. This happens because the increased blood circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells more efficiently, while simultaneously removing harmful toxins.

In people who regularly ride a bicycle, this frequency decreases by 8-10 times / min – the heart switches to a more reasonable mode of operation, thanks to which the “resource” of the heart is preserved, its premature “wear” and the onset of all kinds of heart diseases are prevented.
Prevention of varicose veins. It is very useful for people who have a genetic predisposition to varicose veins to pedal. At the moment of making rotational movements with the legs, the blood begins to actively circulate through the blood vessels, not stagnating anywhere. At the same time, when riding a bicycle, there is completely no shock load, and this is useful for joints.
Improvement of lung function. When cycling, your lungs work much more actively than usual – during long, at least for an hour, cycling, a person’s lungs work at full strength.
