Our awareness about healthy and environment-friendly lifestyle has undergone a palpable change during the past two decades or so. People have taken to exercise, walking, taking fat-free food, so on and so forth. Taking to cycling can be seen as an extension of this trend of trying to get into a healthy lifestyle. However, there is something more to it. We live in a highly motorized world and are culpable for greenhouse gas emission almost in every walk of life. The air that nurtures and protects us is rapidly turning into a garbage bin where all kinds of toxic fumes are ending up. If we cannot stop this we are going to heavy price in the not so distant future. Taking to cycling as a means of transport can bring about a drastic reduction in air pollution. However, for this to happen most of us need to adopt cycling as a means of transport. The best part about cycling is that you can make it very much of your daily schedule like cycling to work, school etc.
Cycling has immense benefits from your health perspective and it acts as a protective barrier against strokes, depression, obesity, etc. It is a fun filled activity and an element of amusement is brought about to your stressful lives. Cycling as health experts will point out as an aerobic activity and your blood vessels or lungs get a healthy workout. You will experience an increase in body temperature that will enhance your overall fitness levels.
For those of us who know how to cycle as well as for those who have never stepped on the pedal, it needs a little encouragement to take to cycling. Cycle ride events can offer that encouragement to them. People feel encouraged to cycle when they see participants whizzing past them on gleaning bicycles with sweat dripping down their body and muscles working like lean machines. Even those who have never taken to cycling feel encouraged to get a workout for their idle muscles.
From a modest beginning, the Green Wheels Festival has come a long way in organizing such events throughout the country. They are organizing different kinds of cycle racing such as a half marathon, marathon, cycling tour, etc. The popularity of such events can be gauged from the fact that the number and variety of cycling events have seen an ever rising graph. The number of cycling enthusiasts has gone on increasing ever since the first cycling event. Cycling events that combine the challenge of cycle racing with the thrill and ardor of a mountain ride can get you a rush of adrenalin if you have an inclination for endurance sports. So get ready, warm up and keep an eye on the upcoming cycling events. You can be the harbinger of a change for a greener and healthier tomorrow. By taking part in these events, the message is delivered loud and clear to the society at large.
