Benefits of a cycle commute

• You will get fitter.
• You will lose weight (providing you don’t increase your current calorie intake).
• You will be doing your bit to help protect the planet, and, as a result, feel less guilty when you use your car.
• You will be able to avoid all the inconveniences your fellow motoring colleagues will have to deal with. For example, there’s every probability that when there’s a major incident on the roads in the vicinity of your workplace, and everyone’s arriving at work late, you won’t be affected (you can always get off your bike and wheel it past the difficult spots).
• You could very well inspire your colleagues to start cycling to work, which is a great feeling.

These are just a few of the many benefits of cycling to work. Once you give it ago, you are bound to find more. And when you see others following in your footsteps (or tire tracks), you might not be so bothered about the small grease stain on your pants or the few creases in your shirt. You’ll want to wear those badges of honor with pride!
