It boosts blood flow and oxygen to the brain which fires and regenerates receptors.

Sports physiologists have found that the body metabolic rate the efficiency with which it burns calories and fat is not only raised during ride, but for several hours afterwards. Even after cycling for 30 minutes you could be burning a higher amount of total calories for a few hours after you stop, and as you get fitter, the benefits are more profound. One recent study showed that cyclists who incorporated fast intervals into ride burned three and a half times more body fat than those who cycled constantly but at a slower pace.

SAVE THE PLANET
Twenty bicycles can be parked in the same space as one car. It takes around 5% of the material and energy used to make a car to build a bike, and a bike produces zero pollution. Bikes are efficient too, you travel around 3 times as fast as walking for the same amount of energy and taking into account the fuel you put in your engine you do the equivalent of 2,924 miles to the gallon. you have your weight ratio to thank, you're about 6 times heavier than your bike, but a car is 20 times heavier than you.
