About strength description:

These routes are based on the cycling activities of Beijing Haidian amateur cycling team for many years. The members of the team are all members who insist on participating in the cycling exercise of the team all the year round. Therefore, the intensity of the above route is determined according to everyone's reaction. Everyone's physical fitness and endurance will be different, so if you are a novice, you'd better choose a route with moderate intensity, or there are almost no mountain roads, or do activities under the guidance of experienced cyclists, otherwise outdoor accidents will easily occur. Note: The following four routes are also very classic, and their detailed strategies were published in the June 2002 issue of Outdoor Adventure, which is briefly listed here for the reference of road cyclists:

Cycling is the healthiest way to travel, which has many benefits to health and harsh environment.

First, fitness.

1. When riding, alternately pedaling your legs can prevent brain aging and improve the agility of the nervous system.

2. The endurance exercise effect of riding on internal organs is the same as swimming and running, which can improve cardiopulmonary function, exercise muscle strength of lower limbs and enhance overall endurance.

3. Cycling is a kind of periodic aerobic exercise, which can consume more calories and get a significant weight loss effect. Oh, sisters, take action!

According to official statistics, the postman lives the longest because he often rides a bike, so riding a bike can prolong his life.

Second, environmental protection.

Nowadays, the air quality is getting worse and worse. Occasionally there will be foggy weather, all because of the emission of automobile exhaust, and riding a bicycle has no exhaust at all, which can make some contributions to our blue sky project. Besides, it saves money. You can buy a lot of bicycles with the money from buying a car.

Third, simplicity.

Riding a bike is the simplest exercise and requires no preparation. There are no restrictions on time, speed and place, but all non-motor vehicle lanes are exercise places, where you can play freely and ride at will.

Fourth, there is no traffic jam.

Traffic jam is now a traffic feature of every city. On the bicycle lane, it feels good to listen to the impatient horn of a fast-moving car.

In a word, there are too many benefits of cycling.
