Core workout: Cycling also works your core muscles, including your back and abdominals. Maintaining your body upright and keeping the bike in position requires a certain amount of core strength.
Strong abdominals and back muscles support your spine, increase stability, and improve comfort while cycling.

It is the only sector where emission increased since 1990, continuing to the increase in 2015. Transport emission later increased in 2016 and in 2017 EU oil consumption – a good alternative for transport CO2-increased at its fastest jump since 2001.

The bicycle is one of the most popular solution to these kind of problems.
