Mount Vernon Community Hall promoting Active Travel for everyday travel,  to help reduce the effects of  Climate Change, as well as the Health Benefits of regular cycling. 

​

Cycling is mainly an aerobic activity, which means that your heart, blood vessels and lungs all get a workout. You will breathe deeper, perspire and experience increased body temperature, which will improve your overall fitness level.

The health benefits of regular cycling include:

  • increased cardiovascular fitness

  • increased muscle strength and flexibility

  • improved joint mobility

  • decreased stress levels

  • improved posture and coordination

  • strengthened bones

  • decreased body fat levels

  • prevention or management of disease

  • reduced anxiety and depression.

 

Mount Vernon Cycling free sessions take place on a Friday between 10 and 12pm please send us and email : mvcycling@outlook.com if you would like to join us
