Is cycling good to health?

Unless you get run over, yes.

A stationary bike is perfectly safe and does not ruin your knees. Outdoors I've done a few thousand miles in 10 years. A few close calls.

I cycle outside,
one day how many miles should I cycle?

**spidergoat** · 05-07-12, 06:06 PM

A little bit. And then more.

**Tero** · 05-07-12, 08:53 PM

go with 10 miles, then 20 when the seat and legs do not hurt, then 30

its more an issue of cadence (or how fast you peddle ... which is usually determined by the gear you are in)

Generally its recommended that you keep on about 70-90 rpm's on the flats (since having a low cadence usually means you are putting unnecessary strain on your knees)

If you are cycling too much your body will be the first one to let you know. Having a properly fitted and sized bike makes all the difference. Drop or butterfly handle bars are good since the wrists appreciate having several different positions to shift between

Cycling in the morning or evening is better?

Doesn't matter. Either way, you will still swallow just as many bugs.

And Honora is spamming. A mod will grab a swatter soon enough...

I like to jog in the mornings and cycle in the evenings after dinner. I've tried cycling in the mornings. I'm not sure why, but I it's the habit I've fallen into.

Cycling is good for your heart. Cycling is associated with improved cardiovascular fitness, as well as a decrease in the risk of coronary heart disease.
