“Cycling offers fitness training that is easy on your muscles and joints.  If you suffer from joint pain or have problems with impact sports, then cycling is the perfect avenue to increase your fitness,” says Sovndal. However of course there is an inherent risk from being on the road, so don’t forget your helmet. Plus, if you do get hooked, cycling can be expensive.
