As there is a protest going on from our farmers against the new farm law by Indian Central Government led by Hon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi. So the highway was closed for the people going towards Delhi and we got the opportunity to ride there on this vacant expressway and the feeling we got cannot be expressed in words. We also met our fellow farmers and tried to understand their concerns on the farm bill. They even asked us if they can ride the bicycle with us. We talked to a farmer who came from Kashipur, Uttarakhand and his experience was not good, he wants our government to take back the law. It was an awesome experience riding on the vacant expressway and meeting our fellow farmers and protestors. Benefits of Cycling 1. Cycling improves mental well-being: Cycling combines physical exercise with being outdoors and exploring new views. You can ride solo – giving you time to process worries or concerns, or you can ride with a group which broadens your social circle. Former Hour Record holder Graeme Obree has suffered from depression through much of his life, and told us: “Getting out and riding will help [people suffering with depression]… Without cycling, I don’t know where I would be.” 2. Strengthen your immune system by cycling: Dr. David Nieman and his colleagues at Appalachian State University studied 1000 adults up to the age of 85. They found that exercise had huge benefits on the health of the upper respiratory system – thus reducing instances of the common cold. Nieman said: “People can knock down sick days by about 40 percent by exercising aerobically on most days of the week while at the same time receiving many other exercise-related health benefits.” 3. Cycling promotes weight loss: The simple equation, when it comes to weight loss, is ‘calories out must exceed calories in’. So you need to burn more calories than you consume to lose weight. Cycling burns calories: between 400 and 1000 an hour, depending on intensity and rider weight. 4. Cycling builds muscle: The resistance element of cycling means that it doesn’t just burn fat: it also builds muscle – particularly around the glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves. Muscle is leaner than fat, and people with a higher percentage of muscle burn more calories even when sedentary. 5. Cyclists have better lung health: You won’t be alone if this point seems contradictory to common sense. But a recent study suggests that people who ride a bike are actually exposed to fewer dangerous fumes than those who travel by car. 6. Cycling cuts heart disease and cancer risk: Cycling raises your heart rate and gets the blood pumping round your body, and it burns calories, limiting the chance of your being overweight. As a result, it’s among a selection of forms of exercise recommended by the NHS as being healthy ways to cut your risk of developing major illnesses such as heart disease and cancer. 7. Cycling improve your sex life: Most of us know that sex is a good thing, but not everyone knows that it’s actually good for your overall health. In fact, regular sex could indeed prolong your life. 8. Cycling boosts your brain power: Exercise has been repeatedly linked to brain health – and the reduction of cognitive changes that can leave us vulnerable to dementia later in life. 9. Grow your social circle through cycling: Joining a cycling club or group is an excellent way to grow your social circle, and if you’re new to riding – you’ll probably find all the maintenance and training advice you may have been looking for there, too.
