THE VÉLOTAF
The vélotaf has many advantages! Hugo tells you about his experience!
The transition to cycling for commuting or business trips can sometimes seem daunting, perhaps because the many benefits of cycling are not always sufficiently highlighted.
With the proliferation of alternative mobility solutions encouraged by current environmental challenges, it is essential to highlight the many benefits of the bike.
The benefits of the bike go beyond the simple practice of sports. By using the bicycle as a means of transport, you can feel a real connection with your environment. You are more aware of your journey, you notice the changes in your neighborhood, you breathe fresh air and you enjoy the surrounding nature. This can have a positive impact on your mood and energy levels throughout the day.
Benefits
Why do you have to ride a bike?
Stay healthy
Practising the bike is a great way to stay in shape. By burning about 300 calories per hour, it helps achieve the recommended 10,000 steps per day. It also reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by half, even in urban areas.
Reduce the carbon footprint
Pedaling pollutes less than driving or taking public transport. By opting for cycling, a motorist can reduce CO2 emissions by 700 kg per year, while reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Save money
Cycling is one of the most economical modes of transport! Compared to the average 0.25 cents spent per kilometer by car, the associated costs are minimal. In addition, companies can compensate the bike with up to 0.25 cents per kilometer traveled, up to 400 euros per year.
Save time
In the city, transportation and traffic jams are a major concern. The bike can reduce this time, being faster than the car on trips of 1 to 8 km. This frees time for yourself or for others!
