Why You Should Cycle to Work
Cycling to work pays off!
Fitting in training around busy work and family schedules is a challenge that many professionals need to face. In fact, in a survey from the European Commission, it was revealed that one in 10 Europeans are seated for eight and a half hours a day, and 42% say they are unable to train due to lack of time.
Sporty professionals set high standards in all areas of their life. They know they need to manage their time wisely to make the most out of every day. Incorporating exercise into a daily routine is easy when you use it as a mode of transportation. By cycling to work or school you can ‘train during transit’ and maintain an active lifestyle without sacrificing valuable work time and family time.
Garment bags are perfect for carrying your belongings safely in your bike commute.
