Physical Benefits of Cycling
Road cycling is good for preserving your physical capabilities
Riding in a group, reading trajectories, positioning oneself well on the road, and engaging all one's senses help stimulate your neurons and improve brain function more optimally by enhancing concentration and memory capabilities. Pedalling will increase your muscular capacity through your road cycling outings. Road cycling engages all the muscles in the body, including the abs, lower back, glutes, chest, arms, and especially the legs. Maintaining these muscles helps maintain better posture and slows down physical decline associated with ageing.
Road cycling also strengthens bone density. Regular practice stimulates bone formation, and skeletal strength is enhanced, helping to prevent the risk of osteoporosis without traumatising your joints since road cycling is considered a "low-impact" sport.
