CYCLING

Bicycles are commonly used by people seeking to improve their fitness and cardiovascular health. In this regard, bicycling is especially helpful for those with arthritis of the lower limbs and who are unable to pursue sports such as running that involve more impact to joints such as the knees.

Cycling on a stationary cycle such as our GRAMA BIKE is frequently advocated as a suitable exercise for rehabilitation particularly for lower limb injury due to the low impact that it has on the joints. In particular cycling is commonly used within knee rehabilitation programs.

The physical exercise gained from cycling is generally linked with increased health and well-being. It has been estimated that, on average, approximately 20 life-years are gained from the health benefits of cycling.
