Should We All Switch To Cycling?

Whether it’s to boost your fitness, health or bank balance, or as an environmental choice, taking up cycling could be one of the best decisions you ever make. Not convinced? Here are some of the benefits:

You’ll get there faster

Sleep more deeply

Look younger

Boost your bowels

Increase your brain power

Beat illness

Live longer

Save the planet

Avoid pollution

So do we have you convinced? Great! So now it’s time to buy a bike – but which one?

There are two types – carbon or steel frames. The carbon versus steel argument really boils down to is durability. You’re shelling out a significant chunk of change for a bike. This is a bike you will be riding every single day (optimistically) and racing a few weekends per month (even more optimistically). If you have a finite amount of money like most normal people in this world, you want a bike that can deliver durability and reliability to last as long as possible, so at a minimum, when you’re done with it, you can sell it to someone else with a clean conscience knowing it will provide the next owner years of enjoyment.

Shanghai Metal manufactures the steel wire used to make bicycle wheels with advanced processing facilities ensure its long-lasting life. To find out more, please visit our website, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. Or you could try our new mobile app by scanning our QR code.
