There are an increasing number of countries that are seizing upon the benefits of cycling...this article is about India. Similar findings to barriers towards cycling...speeding cars, heavy traffic, poorly maintained roads...sound familiar?
The benefits listed in the article are vast, here`s a quote from the article
`Cycling offers an all-encompassing spectrum of benefits, enhancing cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and joint flexibility, while also managing weight. It is also a potent stress reliever, elevating mood, fostering mental clarity, improving sleep quality, and boosting self-esteem for overall well-being. The emergence of group cycling has paved the way towards vibrant community building, enabling people to thrive socially and multiply their potential in numerous ways.`

Some interesting points from the Cycling Mayor of Manchester.
The lack of lighting is a big issue along cycle routes and as with female runners in the winter/darker months, sometimes they just stop cycling.
Improved lighting is a part of the solution.

A thought provoking piece from Bike Portland on a recent trip to the cycling nirvana that is Amsterdam...or is it?
One stand out comment, from the writers son, was ` In Portland I often feel like there is a target on my back for drivers, yet here it feels fun and easy`
Think about that for a moment
Fun and Easy
