Top Benefits of Cycling in a Group
We always knew that cycling in a group as part of a cycling club has its benefits! Now we have proof, courtesy of the new Strava 'Year in Sport 2022' report.
It's full of interesting insights into the trends and achievements of the Strava community this past year. 🤓🚴
Here are a few benefits of group cycling:
Safety: Riding in a group can be safer than cycling alone, especially if you are cycling on roads with heavy traffic. When you ride in a group, drivers are more likely to see you and give you more space on the road.
Socialisation: Group cycling is a great way to make new friends and socialize with like-minded individuals. Whether you’re an experienced rider or a beginner, there is likely a cycling group that is right for you.
Motivation: It can be tough to stay motivated to ride when you are on your own, but cycling with a group can help you stay motivated and push yourself to ride further and faster.
Camaraderie: There is a special bond that is formed when you ride with others. Whether you are tackling a difficult climb or simply enjoying a leisurely ride, being part of a group adds an element of camaraderie and support.
Skill development: Riding with a group can help you improve your cycling skills, as you will be able to learn from more experienced riders and practice drafting and pacing techniques.
