Bike to Work: how to make it a beautiful and healthy habit.

After an initial moment of initial enthusiasm, enthusiasm for bike to work can wane until it becomes sporadic.

The reasons are different: the arrival of the cold, commitments, lack of time.

For the bicycle to become our faithful companion in daily travel, it must become part of our habits, so that it is not a momentary choice but a real lifestyle choice.

First of all, it is important to say that willpower is the driving force behind bike to work: this means that you will have to get on the bike even when you don't feel like it.

However, there are small precautions that, if implemented, can make everything much simpler.

Preparing clothes the night before, for example, can be of great help: finding the clothing already available, avoiding opening the wardrobe to choose clothes, shortens the time and eliminates the first hesitations.

Equipping the bicycle the night before is also an excellent habit to "force" us to get on the bike to go to work.

Often the fact of having to load the bike with the necessary things can make you change your mind and prefer means such as the car. Preparing everything the night before, in addition to saving time, encourages us to use the bike because everything is already prepared for the day.

Furthermore, finding commitments outside of work can be a good habit to encourage us to use the bike every day.

Finding small commitments such as an aperitif in the city center or doing the shopping, for example, are simple and quick things to do by bike while they would not be if done by car due to traffic and lack of parking.

Even weighing ourselves can be a great boost to our motivation.

However minimal the movement may be, cycling represents a cardiovascular activity that burns excess fat and dries out the body.

Especially in the first few weeks, the weight loss is evident in how much liquids have been expelled except for water retention, so constantly weighing yourself will make us understand how beneficial biking to work can also be for our physical form.

Finally, challenging yourself and setting long-term goals are excellent aids in finding the right push to adopt bike to work as a healthy and beautiful habit.

Reducing the travel time from home to work, finding new shortcuts, enjoying the city with different eyes and ways and not getting stressed about morning traffic, are all excellent aids that come to the rescue even on "NOT" days.
