Time to Look at Those Mountain Bikes for Sale UK: Here is 5 Reasons Why Cycling is Amazing!

Have you been wistfully browsing the cycling websites, idly looking at the mountain bikes for sale, UK bike trails and what the best MTB tyres are, according to the experts?

If this sounds like you, it seems as though you're nearly ready to take the plunge and invest in your first mountain bike. Be warned though, once you start cycling, it's a bit addictive!

Still not convinced? Here's some reasons why mountain biking is the best sport going.

5 Reasons to Get Mountain Biking

1) You'll live longer. Yes, really! King's College London recently did an extensive study, examining 2,400 identical twins. They found that those who went on three bike rides a week were around 9 years 'biologically younger' than their twins. Dr Lynn Cherkas, who led the study, continues: 'Those who exercise regularly are at significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease, type two diabetes, all types of cancer, high blood pressure and obesity.'

2) You'll enjoy a better sex life. This applies to men and women, so females, it's time to invest in those ladies bikes UK-made too! According to Cornell University research, athletes generally have the sexual prowess of someone up to five years younger, and physical fitness also delays the onset of the menopause.

3) You'll get to spend time with the family. If you aim to buy a man's bike, ladies bike, UK children's bikes or child-seats, you'll be kitted out to take the whole family on a ride! It's a wonderful way to spend time together and reconnect whilst keeping fit and healthy at the same time.

4) You'll get those creative juices pumping. Believe it or not, plenty of musicians, businessmen and artists; including Sir Alan Sugar and Jeremy Paxman, use exercise to get their brains into action and thinking creatively. Going on a long bike ride provides the perfect opportunity to escape from 'normal' life and get some much-needed breathing space.

5) You'll get high (the legal way!). Once dismissed as a myth, 'athlete's high' has now been proven to exist by experts at the University of Bonn. When you're cycling hard, your body produces endorphins; also known as the 'happy hormones'. These flood your system with a sense of wellbeing and natural joy... though be warned, it can get a bit addictive!
