March is Florida Bike Month!

Beginning this March 1st, everyone is invited to join the Tampa Bay Bike Challenge, a fun, free competition to get more people riding bikes.

While we deal with unprecedented global challenges, riding a bike is a good way to ensure you are getting your daily dose of fresh air and fun as well as an easy and safe way to travel from A to B while avoiding crowds. Riding a bike can help:

  • Improve your mental health, helping to make you feel happier and more connected to your surroundings and less prone to depression than other forms of transport
  • Reduce stress and anxiety – any form of physical exercise is good for reducing stress. Biking can help take your mind off problems or give you a chance to think about things calmly.
  • Give your immune system a boost in the short and long-term. Physical activity helps to flush bacteria out of your lungs and airways reducing your chances of getting a cold or flu. The rise in body temperature when riding a bike also helps our bodies fight infection better
  • Cut the risk of cancer and heart disease by 45%

For the Tampa Bay Bike Challenge, it doesn’t matter if you ride every day or if you haven’t been on a bike in years. You only have to ride for ten minutes to take part and you will also be rewarded for encouraging others to ride. Indoor rides count, as well!
