With the whole world social distancing it\\u2019s high time to start cycling. But even aside from this frightful pandemic, riding a bike to work is one of the best decisions you can make! To get you in the right mood for the rest of the article, here are 4 awesome reasons you should change your commute to cycling:\\n\\u00a0\\n\\nHealth\\n\\nMaintaining a regular workout is hard. It doesn\\u2019t have to be! If you ditch the car or public transport, you can get 2 cardio sessions per day without wasting any of your valuable free time. After around a month of cycling to work you will start to feel more fit, your body (especially if you live a relatively sedentary life) will feel more toned and you will overall feel healthier and more alive.\\n\\u00a0\\n\\nMoney\\n\\nA car is expensive. All that money for gasoline, motor oil, maintenance, repairs and parking. Cycling to work can save you serious money. Estimates go up to 9.000 $ in the US per capita per year.\\n\\u00a0\\n\\nTime\\n\\nIf you are moderately fit, cycling to work can actually save you time. Traffic jams, roadblocks and parking spot searching in your car, canceled or delayed trains and buses and overcrowded subways for public transport \\u2013 you can skip all of that with a bike. Never mind the stress reduction. And depending on your fitness level for commutes of up to 8 kilometers you will often be faster if you ride a bike.\\n\\u00a0\\n\\nHappiness\\n\\nNumerous studies have shown, that regular exercise\\u00a0reduces stress and alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. But cycling can lift your spirits in even more ways. The ability to hop on your bike and using your own body can give you an enormous feeling of accomplishment, that a car can never give you. Additionally cycling triggers in many people an intense sense of freedom. Can you still remember biking in your childhood? Finally ditching the training wheels and riding your bike to school? Cycling to work can let you relive these experiences! And finally: cycling will make you more mindful. You will start to notice birds singing, the feeling of cold, warmth, the wind rushing past you. There are simply less distractions on your bike.\\n&quot;, \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sportstyle\/bicycle-the-short-guide-to-start-cycling-now\/\" })'  target=\"blank\"><\/a>\n            <a class=\"facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sportstyle\/bicycle-the-short-guide-to-start-cycling-now\/\" target=\"blank\"><\/a>\n            <a class=\"linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/sharing\/share-offsite\/?url=https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sportstyle\/bicycle-the-short-guide-to-start-cycling-now\/\" target=\"blank\"><\/a>\n            <a class=\"x\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.puma-catchup.com%2Fes%2Fsportstyle%2Fbicycle-the-short-guide-to-start-cycling-now%2F&#038;text=\" target=\"blank\"><\/a>\n            <a class=\"pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.puma-catchup.com%2Fes%2Fsportstyle%2Fbicycle-the-short-guide-to-start-cycling-now%2F\" target=\"blank\"><\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_quote\" ><p>Quiero montar en bicicleta.<\/p>\n<br\/><br\/>Freddie Mercury<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><span class=\"textStyle_intro\">\u00a1Es hora de empezar a ir al trabajo en bicicleta! Con todo el mundo practicando el distanciamiento social, es el momento ideal para empezar a montar en bicicleta. Pero, incluso al margen de esta terrible pandemia, ir al trabajo en bicicleta es una de las mejores decisiones que puedes tomar. Para que te animes a seguir leyendo el art\u00edculo, aqu\u00ed tienes cuatro razones fant\u00e1sticas por las que deber\u00edas cambiar tu forma de desplazarte al trabajo y empezar a ir en bicicleta:<\/span>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Salud<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<br\/>Mantener una rutina de ejercicios regular es dif\u00edcil. \u00a1Pero no tiene por qu\u00e9 serlo! Si dejas de usar el coche o el transporte p\u00fablico, puedes conseguir <strong>2 sesiones de cardio al d\u00eda<\/strong> sin perder nada de tu valioso tiempo libre. Despu\u00e9s de aproximadamente un mes de ir al trabajo en bicicleta, empezar\u00e1s a sentirte m\u00e1s en forma, tu cuerpo (especialmente si llevas una vida relativamente sedentaria) estar\u00e1 m\u00e1s tonificado y, en general, te sentir\u00e1s m\u00e1s sano y con m\u00e1s energ\u00eda.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Dinero<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<br\/>Un coche es caro. Todo ese dinero en gasolina, aceite de motor, mantenimiento, reparaciones y aparcamiento. Ir al trabajo en bicicleta puede <strong>ahorrarle mucho dinero<\/strong>. Las estimaciones llegan hasta los 9.000 $ en EE. UU. per c\u00e1pita al a\u00f1o.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Tiempo<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<br\/>Si est\u00e1s en forma, ir al trabajo en bicicleta puede realmente<strong> ahorrarle tiempo<\/strong>. Atascos, cortes de carretera y b\u00fasqueda de aparcamiento en tu coche, trenes y autobuses cancelados o retrasados y metros abarrotados en el transporte p\u00fablico: puedes evitar todo eso con una bicicleta. Por no hablar de la reducci\u00f3n del estr\u00e9s. Y, dependiendo de tu estado f\u00edsico, para desplazamientos de hasta 8 kil\u00f3metros, a menudo ser\u00e1s m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido si vas en bicicleta.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Felicidad<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<br\/>Numerosos estudios han demostrado que el ejercicio regular\u00a0<strong>reduce el estr\u00e9s<\/strong> y aliviar los s\u00edntomas de ansiedad y depresi\u00f3n. Pero montar en bicicleta puede levantar el \u00e1nimo de muchas otras maneras. La capacidad de subirse a la bicicleta y utilizar el propio cuerpo puede proporcionar una enorme sensaci\u00f3n de logro, algo que un coche nunca puede ofrecer. Adem\u00e1s, montar en bicicleta provoca en muchas personas una intensa sensaci\u00f3n de libertad. \u00bfRecuerdas cuando montabas en bicicleta de ni\u00f1o? \u00bfCuando por fin dejaste las rueditas y fuiste al colegio en bicicleta? \u00a1Ir al trabajo en bicicleta te permite revivir esas experiencias! Y, por \u00faltimo, montar en bicicleta te har\u00e1 m\u00e1s consciente. Empezar\u00e1s a fijarte en el canto de los p\u00e1jaros, en la sensaci\u00f3n del fr\u00edo, del calor, en el viento que te roza. Simplemente, hay menos distracciones cuando vas en bicicleta.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><strong>Empecemos<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Compra una bicicleta y ponte a pedalear. Suena f\u00e1cil. Sin embargo, muchas personas se ven frenadas por una serie de preguntas:<br\/>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00bfQu\u00e9 bicicleta deber\u00eda comprar?<\/li>\n<li>\u00bfEstoy en forma para ir al trabajo en bicicleta?<\/li>\n<li>\u00bfNecesito equipo adicional?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<br\/>\u00a1Abordemos cada pregunta por separado para que puedas empezar!<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 bicicleta deber\u00eda comprar?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Especialmente si compras por Internet, la variedad de modelos y marcas puede resultar abrumadora. Un buen consejo general es: compra en tiendas locales. La peque\u00f1a tienda de bicicletas cercana a tu casa necesita clientes y puede proporcionarte la experiencia que necesitas y ahorrarte horas de b\u00fasqueda en Internet. Pero un buen punto de partida son los tres tipos b\u00e1sicos de bicicletas: bicicletas de monta\u00f1a, bicicletas de carretera y bicicletas urbanas\/h\u00edbridas. La distinci\u00f3n viene dada por el tipo de superficie en la que piensas circular. Las bicicletas de monta\u00f1a se explican por s\u00ed solas: terrenos accidentados, bosques y monta\u00f1as. Si piensas circular principalmente por la ciudad, realmente no necesitas una bicicleta de monta\u00f1a. Las bicicletas de carretera est\u00e1n dise\u00f1adas para alcanzar la m\u00e1xima velocidad y rendimiento en carreteras asfaltadas. Si no has montado en bicicleta en a\u00f1os, estas costosas m\u00e1quinas de alta tecnolog\u00eda probablemente tampoco sean adecuadas para ti. Eso nos deja con las bicicletas urbanas y las bicicletas h\u00edbridas. Estas bicicletas est\u00e1n dise\u00f1adas para carreteras asfaltadas y sin asfaltar, desplazamientos diarios y fitness. Especialmente si est\u00e1s empezando, nuestro gran consejo es que no le des demasiadas vueltas a tu primera bicicleta nueva. Al fin y al cabo, todas ruedan muy bien.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfNecesito equipo adicional?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Hablando de comprar una bicicleta, \u00bfnecesitas alg\u00fan equipo adicional sofisticado? La respuesta f\u00e1cil es: probablemente no. Aparte de un buen casco (simplemente c\u00f3mpralo), la mayor parte del equipo y la ropa especializados son solo para aficionados y profesionales. Y si te enamoras del ciclismo, la mayor\u00eda de las compras adicionales se har\u00e1n de forma natural con el tiempo. Supongamos que vas en bicicleta al trabajo todos los d\u00edas y te encuentras con los primeros d\u00edas de lluvia. Empezar\u00e1s a desear tener equipo de ciclismo resistente a la intemperie.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfEstoy en forma para ir al trabajo en bicicleta?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>\u00bfNo te has levantado del sof\u00e1 en a\u00f1os? \u00a1No hay problema! El ciclismo ocasional es una actividad de intensidad relativamente baja. Y puedes elegir tu propio ritmo. Empieza poco a poco y no te excedas. Aun as\u00ed, tenemos algunos consejos para los principiantes absolutos:<br\/>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a1No te compares con los dem\u00e1s!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<br\/>Este es probablemente el consejo m\u00e1s importante para ti. \u00a1Simplemente ignora a las personas que van m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido que t\u00fa! \u00a1No intentes igualar su velocidad o frecuencia de pedaleo! Solo encuentra tu propio ritmo, escucha a tu cuerpo y encuentra el punto que te resulte m\u00e1s c\u00f3modo.<br\/>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a1Mu\u00e9vete!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<br\/>Intenta mantenerte activo sobre la bicicleta. Cambia la posici\u00f3n del cuerpo, mueve las manos, gira los hombros. La mayor\u00eda de los dolores iniciales al montar en bicicleta se deben a mantener la misma posici\u00f3n durante demasiado tiempo.<br\/>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a1Cambia estas marchas!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<br\/>Las marchas de tu bicicleta est\u00e1n ah\u00ed por una raz\u00f3n. \u00a1\u00dasalas! Intenta mantenerte siempre en una zona c\u00f3moda, sin pedalear como un loco en superficies planas ni luchar contra las marchas en las subidas. El ciclismo se basa en la fluidez.<br\/>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a1Frena con inteligencia!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Incluso los ciclistas experimentados pueden desconocer que los frenos delanteros detienen el veh\u00edculo m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido y con mayor fuerza. Por lo tanto, intente utilizar primero las pastillas traseras y luego a\u00f1ada lentamente los frenos delanteros.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><strong>Divi\u00e9rtete.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Como con la mayor\u00eda de las cosas en la vida: intenta disfrutar.

Con todo el mundo practicando el distanciamiento social, es el momento ideal para empezar a montar en bicicleta. Pero, incluso al margen de esta terrible pandemia, ir al trabajo en bicicleta es una de las mejores decisiones que puedes tomar. Para que te animes a seguir leyendo el art\u00edculo, aqu\u00ed tienes cuatro razones fant\u00e1sticas por las que deber\u00edas cambiar tu forma de desplazarte al trabajo y empezar a ir en bicicleta:<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Salud<\/p>\n<p>Mantener un entrenamiento regular es dif\u00edcil. Pero no tiene por qu\u00e9. Si te deshaces del coche o del transporte p\u00fablico, puedes hacer 2 sesiones de cardio al d\u00eda sin perder nada de tu valioso tiempo libre. Al cabo de un mes de ir en bici al trabajo empezar\u00e1s a sentirte m\u00e1s en forma, tu cuerpo (sobre todo si llevas una vida relativamente sedentaria) estar\u00e1 m\u00e1s tonificado y, en general, te sentir\u00e1s m\u00e1s sano y vivo.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dinero<\/p>\n<p>Un coche es caro. Tanto dinero para gasolina, aceite, mantenimiento, reparaciones y aparcamiento. Ir en bici al trabajo puede ahorrarte mucho dinero. Se calcula que en EE.UU. se gastan 9.000 $ per c\u00e1pita al a\u00f1o.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tiempo<\/p>\n<p>Si est\u00e1s medianamente en forma, ir en bici al trabajo puede ahorrarte tiempo. Los atascos, las retenciones y la b\u00fasqueda de aparcamiento en el coche, los trenes y autobuses cancelados o retrasados y el metro abarrotado en el transporte p\u00fablico... todo eso te lo puedes saltar con una bici. No importa la reducci\u00f3n del estr\u00e9s. Y dependiendo de tu forma f\u00edsica, para trayectos de hasta 8 kil\u00f3metros, a menudo ser\u00e1s m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido si vas en bici.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Felicidad<\/p>\n<p>Numerosos estudios han demostrado que el ejercicio regular reduce el estr\u00e9s y alivia los s\u00edntomas de ansiedad y depresi\u00f3n. Pero el ciclismo puede levantarle el \u00e1nimo de muchas m\u00e1s maneras. La posibilidad de subirte a la bicicleta y utilizar tu propio cuerpo puede darte una enorme sensaci\u00f3n de logro, que un coche nunca podr\u00e1 darte. Adem\u00e1s, el ciclismo provoca en muchas personas una intensa sensaci\u00f3n de libertad. \u00bfRecuerdas cuando ibas en bici en tu infancia? \u00bfDejar por fin las ruedecillas de aprendizaje y montar en bici para ir al colegio? Ir en bici al trabajo puede hacerte revivir esas experiencias. Y por \u00faltimo: montar en bici te har\u00e1 m\u00e1s consciente. Empezar\u00e1s a notar el canto de los p\u00e1jaros, la sensaci\u00f3n de fr\u00edo, de calor, el viento que pasa a tu lado. Simplemente, en bici hay menos distracciones.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":18788,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_top_article":true,"is_featured_article":true,"EasyPostViewCounter":973,"meta-headline":"Bicycle the short guide to start cycling now","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"class_list":["post-18787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sportstyle"],"fullData":{"ID":18787,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2020-09-08 13:49:17","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-08 11:49:17","post_content":"<!-- wp:puma\/row-post-header {\"image\":{\"id\":18788},\"headline\":\"Bicycle the short guide to start cycling now\",\"content\":\"Reasons, tips and tricks for changing your commute\",\"previewImage\":\"\",\"lock\":\"\",\"metadata\":\"\",\"className\":\"\",\"TrpContentRestriction\":{\"restriction_type\":\"exclude\",\"selected_languages\":[],\"panel_open\":true}} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;p\\u0026gt;I want to ride my bicycle\\u0026lt;\/p\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Freddie Mercury\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"style\":\"quote\",\"firstletter\":\"\",\"gradient\":\"none\",\"spacing\":true,\"previewImage\":\"\",\"lock\":\"\",\"metadata\":\"\",\"className\":\"\",\"TrpContentRestriction\":{\"restriction_type\":\"exclude\",\"selected_languages\":[],\"panel_open\":true}} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;span class=\\u0026quot;textStyle_intro\\u0026quot;\\u0026gt;It\\u0026rsquo;s time to start cycling to work!

An overall good tip is: shop local. The little bike shop near you needs customers and they can provide you just the expertise you need and save you hours of reading up online. But a good starting point are the three basic bike types: mountain bikes, road bikes and city bikes\/hybrid bikes. The distinction comes from the type of surface you are planning to ride on. Mountain bikes are pretty self-explanatory: rough terrain, forest and mountains. If you plan on riding mostly in the city your really don\\u0026rsquo;t need a mountain bike. Road bikes are built for maximum speed and performance on sealed roads. If you haven\\u0026rsquo;t ridden a bike in years, these expensive high-tech machines are probably not suited for you either. That leaves us with city bikes and hybrid bikes. These bicycles are designed for sealed and unsealed roads, commuting and fitness. Especially if you are starting out, our big tip would be don\\u0026rsquo;t spend too much thought on your first new bike. In the end they all roll along nicely.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Do I need additional gear?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Speaking of buying a bike, do you need any fancy additional gear? The easy answer is: probably not. Aside from a good helmet (just do it) most of the specialized gear and clothing is only for aficionados and professionals. And if you do fall in love with cycling, most additional purchases will come naturally at a time. Say you ride to work every day and catch the first rainy days.

An overall good tip is: shop local. The little bike shop near you needs customers and they can provide you just the expertise you need and save you hours of reading up online. But a good starting point are the three basic bike types: mountain bikes, road bikes and city bikes\/hybrid bikes. The distinction comes from the type of surface you are planning to ride on. Mountain bikes are pretty self-explanatory: rough terrain, forest and mountains. If you plan on riding mostly in the city your really don\\u0026rsquo;t need a mountain bike. Road bikes are built for maximum speed and performance on sealed roads. If you haven\\u0026rsquo;t ridden a bike in years, these expensive high-tech machines are probably not suited for you either. That leaves us with city bikes and hybrid bikes. These bicycles are designed for sealed and unsealed roads, commuting and fitness. Especially if you are starting out, our big tip would be don\\u0026rsquo;t spend too much thought on your first new bike. In the end they all roll along nicely.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Do I need additional gear?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Speaking of buying a bike, do you need any fancy additional gear? The easy answer is: probably not. Aside from a good helmet (just do it) most of the specialized gear and clothing is only for aficionados and professionals. And if you do fall in love with cycling, most additional purchases will come naturally at a time. Say you ride to work every day and catch the first rainy days. You will start to crave weatherproof cycling gear.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Am I fit enough to cycle to work?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;You haven\\u0026rsquo;t gotten off the couch for years? No problem! Casual cycling is a relatively low intensity activity. And you can choose your own tempo. Just start slowly and don\\u0026rsquo;t overdo it.

Just ignore people going faster than you! Don\\u0026rsquo;t try to match their speed or pedaling frequency!

Con todo el mundo practicando el distanciamiento social, es el momento ideal para empezar a montar en bicicleta. Pero, incluso al margen de esta terrible pandemia, ir al trabajo en bicicleta es una de las mejores decisiones que puedes tomar. Para que te animes a seguir leyendo el art\u00edculo, aqu\u00ed tienes cuatro razones fant\u00e1sticas por las que deber\u00edas cambiar tu forma de desplazarte al trabajo:\n\u00a0\n\nSalud Mantener una rutina de ejercicio regular es dif\u00edcil. \u00a1Pero no tiene por qu\u00e9 serlo! Si dejas el coche o el transporte p\u00fablico, puedes hacer dos sesiones de cardio al d\u00eda sin perder tu valioso tiempo libre. Despu\u00e9s de aproximadamente un mes yendo al trabajo en bicicleta, empezar\u00e1s a sentirte m\u00e1s en forma, tu cuerpo (especialmente si llevas una vida relativamente sedentaria) estar\u00e1 m\u00e1s tonificado y, en general, te sentir\u00e1s m\u00e1s sano y con m\u00e1s energ\u00eda.\n\u00a0\n\nDinero: un coche es caro. Todo ese dinero en gasolina, aceite, mantenimiento, reparaciones y aparcamiento. Ir al trabajo en bicicleta puede suponer un gran ahorro. Las estimaciones ascienden a 9000 d\u00f3lares por persona y a\u00f1o en Estados Unidos.\n\u00a0\n\nTiempo Si est\u00e1s en forma, ir al trabajo en bicicleta puede ahorrarte tiempo. Atascos, cortes de carretera y b\u00fasqueda de aparcamiento en tu coche, trenes y autobuses cancelados o retrasados y metros abarrotados en el transporte p\u00fablico: puedes evitar todo eso con una bicicleta. Por no hablar de la reducci\u00f3n del estr\u00e9s. Y, dependiendo de tu estado f\u00edsico, para desplazamientos de hasta 8 kil\u00f3metros, a menudo ser\u00e1s m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido si vas en bicicleta.\n\u00a0\n\nFelicidad Numerosos estudios han demostrado que el ejercicio regular reduce el estr\u00e9s y alivia los s\u00edntomas de ansiedad y depresi\u00f3n. Pero ir en bicicleta puede levantarte el \u00e1nimo de muchas m\u00e1s formas. La capacidad de montarte en tu bicicleta y usar tu propio cuerpo puede darte una enorme sensaci\u00f3n de logro que un coche nunca te puede proporcionar. Adem\u00e1s, ir en bicicleta provoca en muchas personas una intensa sensaci\u00f3n de libertad. \u00bfRecuerdas cuando montabas en bicicleta de ni\u00f1o? \u00bfCuando por fin dejaste las rueditas y fuiste al colegio en bicicleta? \u00a1Ir al trabajo en bicicleta te permite revivir esas experiencias! Y, por \u00faltimo, montar en bicicleta te har\u00e1 m\u00e1s consciente. Empezar\u00e1s a fijarte en el canto de los p\u00e1jaros, en la sensaci\u00f3n del fr\u00edo, del calor, en el viento que te roza. Simplemente, hay menos distracciones cuando vas en bicicleta.","status":"publish","password":"","name":"bicicleta-la-gu\u00eda-para-empezar-a-ciclar-ahora","modified":"2025-09-28 09:00:18","modified_gmt":"2025-09-28 09:00:18","content_filtered":"","parent":0,"type":"post","mime_type":"","template":"","category":[3],"datetime_local":"8 de septiembre de 2020, 11:49","date_local":"8 de septiembre de 2020","time_local":"11:49","slug":"bicycle-the-short-guide-to-start-cycling-now","url":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sportstyle\/bicycle-the-short-guide-to-start-cycling-now\/","featured_image":{"width":1140,"height":640,"file":"2020\/06\/bicycle_H.jpg","filesize":284191,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"bicycle_H-300x168.jpg","width":300,"height":168,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":11259},"large":{"file":"bicycle_H-1024x575.jpg","width":1024,"height":575,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":104876},"thumbnail":{"file":"bicycle_H-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":5410},"medium_large":{"file":"bicycle_H-768x431.jpg","width":768,"height":431,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":61870},"trp-custom-language-flag":{"file":"bicycle_H-18x10.jpg","width":18,"height":10,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":407}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"id":18788,"alt":"Man cycling over a hill in front of a sunset","caption":"","description":"","url":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/bicycle_H.jpg","title":"bicicleta_H","aspect_ratio":1.78125,"focalPointLeft":0.5,"focalPointTop":0},"headline":"Bicycle the short guide to start cycling now","categories":[{"term_id":3,"name":"Sportstyle","slug":"sportstyle","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":3,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":415,"filter":"raw","url":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/category\/sportstyle\/"}],"theCategory":{"term_id":3,"name":"Sportstyle","slug":"sportstyle","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":3,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":415,"filter":"raw","url":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/category\/sportstyle\/"},"isFeaturedArticle":true,"isTopArticle":true},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
