The Unexpected Benefits of Winter Cycling
Winter cycling is not just another workout in the gym or yet another pointless ride in Zwift!
Cycling outdoors in the winter largely changes the rules of the game.
Pedaling in the cold offers a unique combination of physical and psychological benefits.
Benefits that far exceed the limitations and boredom of indoor training in front of another screen.
In winter, the cold, short days, the temptation to stay comfortably at home – all this makes us less active in one way or another, which in turn inevitably leads to more isolation and a decrease in mood.
But here's the interesting part: winter cycling is not only one of the super effective sports, but also ATTENTION (a surprising fact): there is a much lower likelihood of injuries in winter cycling compared to popular winter sports like cross-country skiing and alpine skiing disciplines.
