The bike reduces women’s sexual desire

The bike reduces women's sexual desireThe bike can be a risk to women’s sexual health, and to use it cause a reduction in genital sensitivity coupled with other problems, especially when the handlebar is lower than the seat.

This conclusion is a result of new research conducted by scientists at the School of Medicine, Yale University, USA.
Said problem is mainly due to the pressure exerted by the seat in the genital area. Moreover, in men can cause erectile dysfunction because it compresses the parts of the perineum and the anatomical region comprising the floor of the pelvis between the anus and scrotum, which affects arteries and nerves very necessary for normal sexual functioning.

Finally, other studies have shown that men who ride bike at least five hours a week may have a lower sperm count and less likely to conceive.

Something else
Dr. Marsha Guess, who led the study, says:
- This type of analysis provides important information to educate cyclists to carry out safe practices that reduce pressure and loss of sensation in the floor pelvic.
- So as to alter the use and condition of the bike to relieve neuropathy in women athletes.
This study was conducted
- were investigated women who made ??trips of at least 16 miles a week by bike for four weeks a month.
- Scientists compared Raron the effect of different types of bikes, with different positions and seats and handlebars pressure on the pelvic floor of the cyclists.
- Analysis genital sensation measured using a esthesiometer participants, an instrument to measure tactile sensitivity.
- The results showed that the factor that produced the greatest impact on the participants was the position the handlebars.
- The ideal. Among lower the handlebars, the more you lean forward women to place a greater weight on the perineum.

Spinning: Cycling for health

The spinning or indoor cycling is an exercise program designed to perform on an exercise bike. The discipline is very different from conventional bike and although it seems that only exercise your legs, this system can actually tone the abdomen, buttocks and arms, but also as it is an aerobic exercise provides great benefits to heart and arteries, which means it is a comprehensive discipline that combines cardiovascular and resistance work.

Full Steam Ahead!
The spinning is preferably delivered in a gym instructor-led sessions. This is very important, since only qualified teachers can regulate the intensity of exercise, but not be too strenuous.

Moreover, special bicycles are necessary that allow graduate resistance, climbing, a sprint and jump, thanks to the load on the bike is adjustable and can also move the handlebars and pedaling intensities change which gives the feeling of “traveling” for uneven terrain, slopes, hills or flat roads.

The sessions of spinning is done in groups with an instructor who will guide the work, indicates the load changes and monitors the movement associated with exercise. To give more weight to exercise uses music to achieve different rates vary the intensity of each class. Each session lasts about 45 minutes to get results is necessary to go three or four days a week.

It is important that those who practice spinning worry to regulate the intensity of their effort, within the limits of heart rate that are recommended by the instructor.

And thus was born
Although in the past two years this system has become very popular exercise, his birth occurred in 1992 by Jonathan Goldberg, who needed to train from home for a bike ride across the United States.

He completed his training with music and a heart rate monitor to adjust the intensity of your exercise. But also this discipline conceived as a training body and mind, as he was basic to develop the capacity to experience, through concentration and exercise, positive thoughts and emotions.

Whoever you are: you can!
In the spinning anyone can participate regardless of age, it is considered a sport not impact meaning that the joints do not suffer the impact of weight around your body so there is no physical risk, it allows many people of all ages to join the method.

On the other hand, the spinning is a sport not competitive , which is for those who are ashamed to look bad to others. With this discipline there is no competition because they all do it at the same time.

Also, always stays in one place and practiced one basic motion continuously, this means that it does not take a lot of rhythm and coordination of movements, as in the case of Zumba, aerobics or step, the which makes spinning a discipline ideal for those who can not follow a rhythmic routine. Although you should try to follow the instructions of the teacher of spinning , everyone is in complete control of their personal rhythm. The way to end the session of spinning is simply adjusting the step or adjusting the tension knob on the bike.

Each posture, a new rhythm
What makes effective to spinning, apart from the intensity of the movements, are the positions. Each can exercise different parts of the body at different rates. The main changes are:

Sitting Plano: This position is to take on any work pace and intensity to perform. Sitting with arm slightly bent and hands resting on the handlebars at an approximate distance of 10 cm.

Standing Flat: This position is with the feet on the pedals and the body raised almost vertically, with the buttocks to rub the tip of the bike seat. Arms slightly bent and hands resting on the handlebars at an approximate distance of 25-30 cm. The muscles, especially the lower legs are exercised and that the body exerts all his strength on them.

Jumping: It is characterized by a continued elevation of the body on the bike seat. The body must find flat in the center of the bike with your hands resting lightly on the handlebars at a distance of about 25-30 cm. This can be done while retaining a brisk pace with the feet on the pedals and continuous movement.

Seated Climbing: It’s a comfortable position that significantly cause an “upgrade” of slope. Sitting in its entirety on the bike seat and where agility is to provoke a “push” on each pedal stroke. The arms are kept slightly curved and resting on the handlebars. The resistance movement is used in this medium.

Standing Climbing: Climbing This position is very demanding. The body is completely ahead of the hands are resting on the handlebars.

Their benefits
The benefits of a targeted class spinning are numerous:

Improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system and respiratory system.

Benefit structure and function of the loco motor
Reduces heart rate and strengthens the heart
Lowers total cholesterol levels
Controls blood pressure
Eliminates many toxins through sweating
Favors an increase in bone density
Strengthens and tones muscles
Helps reduce stress and tension
Controls body weight
Relieves back pain and relieve pain
Increase the level of concentration and motivation
Improved emotional state, self-esteem and the ability to form social relationships.

This exercise is easy, fun and safe. You have to take into account that work will cost at first, but once you start to get going, it is a discipline that you love. No need to know conventional bicycle and do not have to keep the balance and is a recommended exercise for children and adults, so no matter how old you are.

Pedal your way to a brighter and healthier future

brighter and healthier futureThere is a lot of people who want to lose weight from the comfort of their homes. Many people choose to lose weight this way because they feel less embarrassed and more comfortable working from home.

Having an exercise bike at home can be very beneficial to begin your training situation at home. There are many people who buy bikes to begin regaining the habit of daily exercise.

When you have exercise equipment at home can watch TV as training and not even have to deal with downtime. Even when you can not ride your bike you can ride out of your house.

some tips to help you maximize your workout when you work in a learning cycle can help you manage the different parts of your body that you think need improvement. You are able to have much control over your workout when you’re on a stationary bike.

If you’re looking for arm workout, cycling is not going to be your best bet. Most work on his thighs and calves.

His triceps and even your lower back will be developed both as your body is supported. Interval training is a great way to build muscle mass

There is a great benefit that many people do not understand or take advantage when they are working on a motorcycle. When working you should stay within your target heart rate range so you can get the most out of your workout.

When you stay within this range will be strengthening and heart. The best way is to use a heart rate monitor.

A heart rate monitor will allow you to see close up your heart rate. If you have a heart rate monitor can take your heart rate manually.

This is another benefit of indoor cycling. When they take your pulse manually have to check your heart rate in the neck or wrist, this is much safer when you have no balance on a bicycle street.

Take the time to figure out where it should be your heart rate is very important. You should be able to find a heart rate chart online that shows your target heart rate.

If you do not have access to a heart rate chart should talk to a health professional. Your doctor will show you how hard your heart must beat according to your weight and age.

If you have any knee problems or find that work on a bicycle inside back will be very beneficial. The pressure of your weight will not be on your knees or back.

Instead, you can freely peddle because your weight will be on the bike. Although we can not experience the same amount of stress has yet to take precautions.

Before exercising you should make sure that you take the time to stretch. When you stretch your muscles prepare to handle the stress of training.

When working on the bike can run into the problem of boredom. There are plenty of people who have a hard time getting motivated when working on the bike at home.

If you find you are getting bored you have to find a motivation. This form of reasoning may be very different from individual to individual.

Some people like to watch TV while others want to see walking and bike racing on TV. If you want to watch TV or listen to music can be heard a book on tape.

You’re more well-rounded training should combine this with cardio weight training regimen. When riding a bike burns fat.

While it is important to burn fat should also ensure that build muscle to increase your metabolism. The more muscle you have the easier it is for your body to burn fat.

Very healthy pedaling

Very healthy pedaling

E L Basque Government has recognized the pedaling of Bizimeta, public service loan bikes Uribe Kosta as “an example of good practice in environmental issues,” according to a report by the Department of Environment, Planning, Agriculture and Fisheries.

The service was launched last year and half and in addition to widespread demand among citizens, nearly 1,500 users a year ago, has expanded its loan points to 19 in different locations in the region.

The bicycle rental service Bizimeta Uribe Kosta has been recognized by the Basque Government as one of the 15 best examples of municipal environmental sustainability throughout Euskadi. The report published by the Department of Environment, Planning, Agriculture and Fisheries recognized “the important work being done on a daily Basque municipalities for sustainability.” Councilor Pilar Unzalu recognizes that the actions of the municipalities are “an example to follow in the fight against climate change, and an incentive to keep working and moving toward, sustainability.”

Bizimeta is a public service bicycle launched by the Commonwealth of Uribe Kosta Services, which includes the municipalities of Sopelana, Barrika, Berango, Gorliz, Lemoiz, Plentzia and Urduliz. “This is the first bicycle loan service integrated public transport in the state,” highlights.

The bicycle rental service started in July 2009 with the launch of bicycles at 13 locations scattered around the towns of Eskuinaldea. Last year, the service was extended to five new items, and adding 18. As DEIA has published since its inception the service has been upgraded, as the introduction of video surveillance systems, having covered the spots, the acquisition of a further auxiliary vehicle for maintaining the fleet of bicycles and the purchase of 50 electric bikes for easy access to older people. Of the 1,432 registered users in the first year of operation, 22% are over 50 years.

Citizens filled in a number of procedures for which they receive an identification card that allows the use of bicycles and service payments made by payment systems Creditrans Gizatrans Hirukotrans and public transport. In addition, Bizimeta has set a target to be compatible with other sustainable transport services that will be implemented. So far, Uribe Kosta cards can also be used in Donostia Zumaia.

The bike was just beginning

The bike was just beginningIt is no secret that riding “Cicla” is a wonderful exercise, so the benefits are not just for the planet, your body will thank you also and if you do normally, everything will be reflected in your health: it is proven that pedal works to improve the circulatory and immune system, prevent back pain, joint protection and control your stress levels.

Today, when environmental issues like global warming are on everyone’s lips, the bikes have taken a leading role and could that have become an icon of identity, both for those who consider themselves environmentalists and for those who choose a healthy lifestyle. The contribution of these vehicles in the fight against pollution is so great that the cities have gradually begun to be more friendly for those who choose transported in them, incorporating strategies such as bike lanes, bicycle paths and public bicycles.

It is clear however that the bikes will gain more and more space, for in them you can move anywhere without creating noise or emit toxic gases into the atmosphere. As you can see there is every reason to get out now and buy a bike, but first should think about it, so that this initiative does not end in a disappointment, because it is not the same go for a walk, to go to work every day, or is just planning on a plain that slopes up and down. What do you plan to use your bike? How often do you think you can ride? How are the roads leading to your house? The answers to these questions will determine what kind of bike you need and so we present the potential market for you to choose the most appropriate: Mountain biking: Although the most popular, its advantages are evident only when used on uneven ground for what your tires are designed and so on in the asphalt require more physical effort. Urban Bike: They usually come well equipped, are highly recommended for use in the city, and require an upright position makes you more visible in the way and lets you see more Folding Bike: If you need to combine your bike with public transport not get better than this, although it will be very uncomfortable if your runs are very long.

Bike Hybrid: Today it is easy to find on the market with motor bikes, both electric and gasoline. Its power consumption is still much lower than any vehicle and allows you to cover great distances in less time or meet the most demanding slopes. Bike Racing : They are the favorite of many because its aerodynamic shape allows you to develop more speed, but that same be counterproductive in the city, as their thin tires burst and glide easily. Finally we remind that the helmet, lights, fenders, horn and basket are the basic complements to travel more safely on the road public. And if you still can not decide, we invite you to when you can take a bike ride, do it and we are confident that the pleasure of feeling the wind in your face you will finish to convince that it is time to have your own.

The Bicycle: Healthy means of transport

The bicycle is a vehicle which consists of two wheels, which are the same size, in addition to online prepared.

It must be mentioned, the bicycle is used for the transport through the force on the pedals is effected, then transmitted to the sprocket on the rear wheel through a flat link chain and thus originates the movement of the wheels.

The use of the bicycle is widespread in most of the European continent. In countries like Holland, Switzerland, Germany, some parts of Poland and the Nordic countries has become one of the primary means of transportation. Turning to Asia, mainly China and India, is the first form of transport.

Currently in the world, there are about 800 million bicycles, with China as the country possessing the largest number of these vehicles.

In the country of Spain began to build the first bike in the early twentieth century.

The importance of health to the bike, also for the planet

health to the bikeThis appeal to the idea of ??putting the bike health among users who use the bicycle as a transport system in the city has another side. Today we see that we have affordable technology with proven reliability and incorporating a breakthrough in promoting health culture that unites the body with the urban cycling.

The Foundation launched Earth and space demonstration of some of these technologies, especially the Rotor pedaling system. He has also done some promotion Duopower saddle. In his day brightened the distribution of about 100 units between urban bicycle users and today continues its promotion as a core component of urban bike (by the way the saddle Duopower is already highly valued by certain sports sectors).

But the concept of health to the city bike we wanted to go further when it comes to health we also believe that the bike needed to incorporate the concept of health for the planet. For this also disclose those technologies that reduce pollution. This is the case of installation of signal elements that produce electrical energy with magnetic media used movement of the wheels and which do not require batteries such as signaling kit Reelight . If our bike tours made ??spaces that require more intense lighting propose the dynamo hub which extracts energy from a magnetic generator located in the hub of the wheel in front. The dynamo hub allows each spin of the wheel supply enough electricity to shine light bulbs and lamps before the last with little friction, so the user does not have the feeling of having to drag something like the conventional dynamo wheel on the tire.

We also think that in the maintenance of the bike need to use lubricating oils that are biodegradable as those offered by the company Motorex. Clearly, incorporating all of these technologies to our city bike makes it a slightly more expensive vehicle but the investment pays for its component seamlessly healthy for us and everyday users of the bike and for our environment. This is the spirit that moves us when we launch the proposed ” health to the bike.

The weaknesses of cycling for health

Like any sport, to keep the body in shape for physical activity, spending at least forty-five minutes of cycling for three days a week. Despite being one of the most efficient machines in terms of energy used and energy delivered, the bike has two weaknesses. Insert the body into an object to which we pass on our energy which should move this force on a mechanical transmission system. To make this effort the position we take to transmit this force is a key issue. Consequently, the technology employed in transmitting bio mechanical energy is undoubtedly a key factor for the health of bicyclist. If the stress falls mainly on the skeleton (mainly the levers formed by the femur and humerus) this requires a good position if we do more efficient work force in which the muscles are free from injury. Good posture requires adjustment of the main parts of the bike in relation to the body of the driver.

There is no magic bullet to address some of the basic measures that relate to the distances between the handlebars, seat and pedals. For ergonomic pedaling arms should not be neither too flexed nor too straight, and must afford to have relaxed back to avoid injury to the cervical area. The thighs must work in parallel, without opening the knees, which can cause problems to the knee ligaments. The legs can be free of tension when the pedal is quite low, and these should always do a circular route, accompanying the pedal. Watching these measures can prevent the most common injuries such as tendonitis, torn ligaments in the knees and ankles, problems with the patella injury soleus muscles and nerves in the foot addition to maintaining proper posture, technology that incorporates the bicycle as a machine, also have effects on your driving. Current technologies exist in most of the bikes have been designed in the sense that it is a tool for sports and precisely what it is to enhance the physical effort. On the contrary, using the bicycle as urban transport system everyday this green machine first objective must be to protect the human body of any postural defect or abrupt movements and efforts and, therefore, enhance the biomechanics and ergonomics. This does not mean that we do not “sport” in the sense of moving the body, but the urban bicyclist is like a runner who does not need to fail despite the distance of the race. Therefore we believe it takes four basic ideas on enhancing technology at the time most advisable to choose the city bike for everyday use.

1. Ergonomics and position

The aero position is conducive to speed bikes or racing has nothing to do with the ideal position for a city bike to be on the principles of ergonomics . While the first is valued bend and flex body on a circuit that has no obstacles, urban bicyclist needs a more erect position of maximum visibility so we can have the best view of their surroundings as the movement between other vehicles is unpredictable and irregular. This position is determined by three elements in relation to the physique of the person: the bike frame, seat post and seat adjustment. Bicycle frames are made ??in different sizes just to adapt to the structural typology of more people. In this regard it is important to report that there are bicycle frames sizes for most common heights of people. One way to determine the appropriate size of your frame is to multiply the distance between the feet and crotch of the person by 0.6. Also needed to assess the agility of the person for the box allows easy mounting and dismounting from the bicycle with maximum safety and without losing balance. The right box is not for men nor in that box is for women. The shape of the box and its variants are precisely adapt the bike to the physical characteristics and abilities of the user at a time that environmental conditions in which one must move. In fact, the only differences in measurements between men and women are those determined by the proportion of the human body: women have longer legs than men.

The city should promote bicycle safety from external conditions. Thus for urban it must be comfortable when you start pedaling or braking and generally get around the obstacle course full of road traffic lights, pedestrians, etc.. For the more demanding still have the option of the bicycle as, where in this case is conceived as a whole according to the complexion and physical characteristics of the specific person. It is always a possibility not available to all budgets, but professional cycling enthusiasts or even people with some special features in their body, their disposal.

A second aspect of ergonomics is the handlebars. When we cling to the bike this should allow maximum mobility of the body on the center of gravity of the vehicle with maximum ease for all the senses, especially sight and hearing are essential to run safely on city. Too often, the handlebar is valued as an aesthetic part of the bike and not as that is an essential for providing the best body position in terms of visibility (a more important simply to be able to manage muscle strength we do). In addition to the position when mounted on the bike, it is interesting to pay attention to the burden of the bike (folding or not) when we should either raise the ground to climb stairs, lift … Often the bicycle is part of a combined transport option and requires that at times is not used in the usual way, but it takes charge in space-arms to move it slightly adapted. A good technique to lift the bike and avoid injury or discomfort in the body is to ensure that the weight is distributed as best as possible throughout the body, without forcing any particular muscle and keeping your torso straight. So the ideal is that the bike is in a diagonal position of respect for our body when the air transport and the weight is balanced between both sides so that we seem lighter.

It is essential to take the poor training of cyclists in reference to the charge distribution on the bike. It should be possible to combine the need to carry objects with a certain weight and the reality of having to park the bikes in unsupervised areas which may be advisable not to leave it with the bags loaded. The concept of ergonomics is more present in some of the major brands of folding bicycles. Folding bikes are an ideal choice for urban cycling.

2. Retains the softness, the roughness destroys

Cycling continues to be an exercise that asks the body. Often urban cyclists, after leaving the sheets and have a coffee with milk, mounted on the bike without the whole body musculature with cold yet. This change of pace requesting a sudden work of muscles and joints can lead to injury problems, or muscle tears. It is advisable, before riding the bike to devote minimal time to stretch and make sure we are fit for our body to perform the effort we’re going to ask, especially, but is usually sport. One of the points that penalize the physiology of the lower body to initiate the cycling is called the dead point is given by the opposite position of the crank of the pedals. If we use the bicycle as a tool sporting what is valued is that strength that we printed on the vehicle is maximized.

Gear changes are designed to reduce the force required in the different positions of a plane up or down. The sprockets are sequential. From the smallest to the largest one you need to move one. Therefore, if you reach a traffic light at a moderate speed with a few teeth sprocket, when we resume walking we lay the whole weight on one leg so that it can overcome the so-called dead pedal. Ideally, when driving with external gear during braking should go putting it in top gear so that later we can have a softer start. If we compare with a car starting the race with the fifth gear set required to give a lot of gas to the throttle and it all goes into the engine vibration. The external gear can not change the sequence in static gear available.

For urban bike, stop and start where it becomes a normal routine as circulated very comfortable to have a shifter that being unemployed can correct the position of the same and thus start with the right gear, that is, with the least muscular effort. This possibility is offered by so-called ” internal changes “which have the advantage of not requiring lubrication maintenance. With an internal change can reach a speed corresponding to a small pinion boot without problem with a longer smoothly because the shifter is placed in the desired position without pedaling. Start running smoothly is the best guarantee to reduce the risk of injury not only muscle but also in the joints. Unfortunately, the internal changes are not only very little known as a technology in our country but many people often think they are synonymous with bicycle “toy”. By contrast in most countries of Central Europe for urban bikes are equipped mainly with internal changes precisely to avoid the risk to health posed by the roughness for all the muscles of the body that represents the traffic movement between a city.

3. Break the deadlock

One of the major mechanical defects of the bike is the crank, ie, the system can transmit the force from the equilibrium position. Still, upset this balance requires an exertion that does not seem unimportant when the bike is moving. The deadlock problem becomes evident when it comes to overcoming a rise and pull hard. The deadlock in pedaling has not been overcome by technological development until recently a few decades. Interestingly, in the market there are several technologies that seek to reduce the deadlock, but only one technology that really prevents and, therefore, provides comfort because it promotes more harmonious movement in the transmission of force. This harmony in the movement results in a safeguard for the joints and a general physiological improvement effort.

This mode of pedaling with the technology that avoids the deadlock is known as Rotor system and is one of the most innovative technologies that have developed since the advent of the bicycle as an invention does more than a century. This technology has also been developed first for professional racing cyclist. Logically, these are the people who most need “to care for your body tools.” However, by the same logic, the person who is an everyday user of the bicycle (which is different socio-ecological convictions) is who else is exposed to the risks of pedaling without requiring much effort as the sport is more irregular.

The pedaling system without neutral, entirely made ??in Spain by Rotor Bike Components , is also a very interesting technology for the urban cyclist. This company also has a policy of good practice by which money back pedaling Rotor kit if the user is not satisfied. Is clear evidence of how effective they are sure of this ingenious invention. The rotor is a technology that has enabled the bicycle is not a deterrent for elderly or impaired joint and 16% increases in muscle performance. The same company now manufactures the Q-rings which is a simulation of the rotor but it is cheaper and still enter a savings of cycling muscle strength of just over 4%. The rotor system that minimizes or prevents the deadlock in the pedaling is probably one of the best investments to preserve the health of your knees. Indeed, it is a very interesting option for people who do many miles a year per city.

4. Well does not mean sitting padded

For years the comfort on the bike has been associated with the principle of distributing the weight on the buttocks on a surface that force should be triangular positioning itself to take the position of sitting. Being comfortable has also been synonymous with involuntary unconsciously crushing delicate parts of our body related to the reproductive system. In the case of men improper use of the saddle can lead to problems or even infertility prostate. For women the friction of the different parts perineal infections can result from muscle injury to the genitals. When going by car the driver is lying as if on a couch and just move your foot, while the bicycle is the whole body is in motion, and thus the seat should be appropriate for this. The ideal position according to biomechanical research is to exert the necessary force of pedaling on a structurally rigid physiological part . This is the case of the ischia bones located at the end of the pelvis. Unfortunately, the traditional seat ergonomics but lately has attempted to encourage the airing of the parties perineal and to reduce the friction of the same on the saddle. However, the basic problem lies in these designs. A subject is sitting comfortably on the buttocks and the other is to sit properly when the whole body will move along this axis lying in weak muscular structures are the parts perineal or the reproductive system. As we pointed out the best way for a moving body to work with minimum risk is to do on bony structures such as the sit bones.

This approach of sitting on a hard bone structure, such as Ischia, is that technology developed by the Spanish company Duopower . Duopower saddles (which are available in Biohabitat ) are not the first experience that makes us think they are healthy because the sit bones require training before adapting to the new situation to bear the full weight of the body. Sit on the seat bones, however, the best guarantee not adversely affect a couple of crucial tasks: the reproduction, and also to adopt the more correct back posture. Yet it is important that each person values ??if a saddle ergonomic feel it appropriate to their physiology regardless of the technology manufacturer.

We can not forget that you have to put the seat at a height that allows us to your leg is taut, yet is below between about 2 and 10 cm from the handlebar. Many of the problems with the knees and tendons, apart from wear proper linkage because of the deadlock, have to do with the fact of riding with a saddle height correct. There is a truism that to go well and safely seated on a bicycle is required to play with your feet flat on the floor. Ergonomics tells us that we should just touch the ground with the toes of the feet when we are well mounted on the bike. When we stop we have to do is slide the seat and tilt slightly to the box and put us firmly on the ground. The importance of cycling with maximum comfort also requires a suitable seat of a bicycle adapted to our body measurements.

Bicycle or bike custom made recycled

Bicycle or bike custom made recycledLike any tool, it is not the same as this is intended for a professional when intended for amateur DIY. With the bicycle passes the same. Perhaps because it has traditionally been a vehicle for leisure and occasional use may not always have valued aspects of adapting it to the bio mechanical characteristics of the user.

In our country, in general, there is no comprehensive bicycle culture that exists in other countries where when you go to buy a bike is sold according to size of the user. This prevention in our country is still incipient. The merchant or the person who manages a clothing store not only helps to choose a particular design depending on the primary use of the piece but will advise on the quality of fabrics and particularly looks at the constitution of the person to that it can wear with maximum comfort. The same applies to the bicycle. This should be our size.

Therefore, in a bike shop is needed to help us choose the bicycle as most appropriate for our body, whether new or second hand. So you need to promote the daily use of the bicycle needs to assess aspects of comfort when mounted on a bicycle. Despite the problem of thefts that values ??need perhaps a recycled bicycle an attic is not the best option if this does not meet minimum standards of ergonomics and technology to help foster that unnecessary injuries to the user.

It is therefore to promote the bicycle when used as means of transport not only just the best economic value of the market, but needed to assess eligibility criteria, particularly with respect to aspects of ergonomics and facilities for cycling daily in order that this does not become the origin of certain biomechanical diseases.

The role of vendors is critical at the time to guide the buyer as some of them are unaware of the cycling world. So sellers of bike shops should first assess the constitution of the buyer, your needs when you use the bike in order not to become a cumbersome machine and end up being a deterrent to its use, and may even be a generating element of physical problems to the everyday user.

Still, there are also tips (not infallible) that can minimize undoubtedly also minimize the risk of theft which can be a disincentive to invest in a good or adequate bicycle. In this regard, the bike shops also have an important role. Marking the bicycle frame with methods such as bicycle registry is a safety element to be considered theft.

Put your bike health

Put your bike healthDespite the difficulties for driving in cities with dense automobile traffic, the number d’users who have made the bike its urban transport system has not stopped increasing. In other words, more and more people make cycling an act of civic solidarity and ecological to take the bike to get around. In addition, the bicycle plays an important role helping to improve the health of people. The bicycle is a source of health in every way, reduces the risk of heart attacks and negative cholesterol, increases good cholesterol, strengthens the muscles of the body and reducing back pain and discomfort, while improving the immune system, increases lung capacity and improves psychic. Moderate physical exercise on a bicycle usually involves an immediate health benefit rider, and the failure to provide more CO2 l’atmosphere contributes to cleaner air to breathe.

The culture of cycling in the city only recently in many cities. The general idea when you ride is enough to take a bike and pedal. Campaigns to encourage bicycle use and promotion based on “making health” and to promote the “ecology” have clearly had an impact in cities like Barcelona. Now is the time to convey the true “culture of urban bicycle use.” A culture should encourage civility in circulation and not to impair health by not using the bike properly.

The increasing use of urban bike has brought to the fore some issues between non-expert users, even when we have ergonomic designs and technologies that are healthier for the daily use of the bicycle.

Clearly much remains to be done about the civility of many cyclists but the fact remains that the increased use of cycling is necessary to encourage a new culture of cycling in the city, a culture that encourages health to the bike.
