#RideResolutions
This January we're inviting you to join #RideResolutions and set goals to keep riding through 2021. No matter how big or small, a goal can help you ride your bike further and more often. Set a goal and enjoy all the mental and physical health benefits of travelling by two wheels!
Whether you want to burn off 5 chocolate bars, go for 100 rides in 2021 or save 200 kg of carbon, you can set and share your goals right now.
Check our Tips for Setting Great Goals post and set a goal that’s right for you.
WE RUN A YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMME OF EVENTS:
To help more people experience the benefits of riding.
What's it all about?
Riding a bike has significant benefits for you as an individual, our communities and our planet.
Riding a bike can help:
- prevent the decline of your immune system in the short and long-term.
- cut the risk of cancer and heart disease by 45%
- boost your mental health, helping to make you feel happier and more connected to your surroundings and less prone to depression than other forms of transport
- reduce stress and anxiety - any form of physical exercise is good for reducing stress. Cycling can help take your mind off problems, or give you a chance to think about things calmly
- reduce congestion and pollution, which contributes to 40,000 premature deaths annually in the UK
- reduce cost on public health - the NHS could save billions through reduced obesity, diabetes and heart disease
