People who bike to work have better blood pressure, insulin levels, and triglyceride levels. Riding your bike to work rather than driving can cut down on your household emissions by at least 6%. People who bike to work believe their health has improved since they started commuting by bike. When you ride a bike, you’re more likely to keep your trips shorter and your shopping closer to home, which is great for local business.
