6. Sports benefits

Those who ride their bikes regularly not only increase their strength and build muscles, but they lower their risk of injury in other sports as well. Recovering from injury often takes less time with those who are in better shape. Cycling can help you build up your aerobic efficiency, aerobic capacity and improve endurance. Reflexes and balance will also improve over time. As with many sports, routine cycling allows you to tailor your intensity, get in a training rhythm, build mental fortitude and become faster overall. Another benefit is cycling can be done in any season.
