Cycle September is a month-long competition from Love to Ride, which aims to get more people riding bikes. At a time when environmental issues, wellness, and money saving are an important factor for many, there has never been a better time to ride a bike.
Last year, more than 51,000 riders from almost 7,000 businesses took part including over 5,500 people who were new to riding! They hopped on their bikes, logged their rides, encouraged their friends and family to join, and won amazing prizes for their efforts.
There are so many benefits to be enjoyed from riding a bike, and Cycle September is all about embracing each and every one of them, such as:
โก๏ธ Supercharged physical health โ even a 10-minute bike ride will boost your immune system, improve cardiovascular health, and help you live longer!
๐ง Improved mental health โ riding a bike is a mindful activity that promotes the release of endorphins and can reduce the causes of depression
๐งก Reduced stress and anxiety – biking can calm the mind, improve self-confidence, and elevate your mood
๐ Protecting the planet โ reduce your carbon footprint by leaving the car at home
๐ฐ Saving money โ cut down on transport costs and car maintenance
