What are the benefits of a bicycle?

1. Cycling protects against depression, especially when done in company.

The maximum effect is achieved if you ride for 45 minutes 3-5 times a week.

2. Cycling prolongs youth. To do this, it is enough to spend about an hour a week on a bicycle in total - it slows down the aging of cells.

3. Helps to get rid of headaches if you ride three times a week for 45 minutes. Regular training reduces the risk of migraines and the intensity of headaches.
