The bike is also useful for everyday errands: “A lot of kilometers are added up every year,” says the doctor. Cycling not only trains the cardiovascular system and respiratory system, but also the leg muscles. In addition, the holding and supporting system from the pelvis and back to the shoulder girdle and neck area would benefit from this. “It is a type of exercise in which a large proportion of the muscles are used at the same time. This helps you become fitter overall,” says Ocenasek. Cycling is also ideal for people who are heavier, as it protects the spine and joints.
