Your actions make a difference!

With bicycling you burn calories, not carbon!

Cycling produces ZERO CO2 and many health benefits:

• Increases your heart and lung fitness, as well as your strength and stamina; lowers your risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes
• Lowers risk of other health problems such as non-insulin dependent diabetes, osteo arthritis and osteoporosis, strengthens back and legs and reduces the risk of back problems
• Bicycling is a fun way to exercise and burns fat which will help you feel better
• Improves your mental health. Exercise relieves symptoms of depression, decreases anxiety and stress levels. Keeping yourself out of traffic jams also reduces stress.
• The end result of having better health through cycling is that you will live a longer and happier life!

Intriguing thought:

Cornell University notes on their web site, “…the amount of calories burned in bicycling to the number of calories an automobile burns, the difference is astounding. One hundred calories can power a cyclist for three miles, but it would only power a car 280 feet (Spadaccini, 1999).”

Drive 1,000 miles less this year and reduce your carbon footprint by 1,000 pounds of CO2.
How?
