When we are stuck in traffic we often envy those who ride their own bicycles or ride other cars and don't need to spend time on the road. Besides, cycling every day instead of riding or driving not only saves resources, but also protects the environment, and most importantly, strengthens the body. Let's take a look at the benefits of cycling.

There are generally three parts of the body that come into contact with the car during cycling: the palms of the feet, the palms of the hands and the hips, in that order. Chinese medicine believes that the palms and feet have the corresponding points of the internal organs of the human body, the cycling process is the massage of these body reaction points, can help unblock meridians and blood, strengthen the physique and prevent the body from aging.
