Busy schedule? Buy a fixie bike to get fit! | Single Speed Cycles

The average Australian is a pretty busy person. Work takes up most of our weekdays, as does waiting in traffic and commuting. Then there’s social obligations, housework, and various other activities that demand our attention. It’s no wonder that so many people find it challenging to get their daily dose of exercise. However, did you know that there is way that you can beat the queues at the petrol station and enjoy more free time in your day? The best part is that all you need is your two feet, a heartbeat and a fixed gear bike.

Most health experts recommend getting in at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise, five times a week, but many of us just don’t have the time. In between getting lunches packed, kids dropped off at school, sitting through meetings with clients, and back to back traffic, the last thing you want to do is venture into traffic again to hit the gym. Then there’s queuing to use equipment and showers on top of that.

A far better option would be to invest in a fixed gear bike and use it to travel to and from work as a form of incidental, but highly beneficial exercise. Bike riding is an excellent form of cardiovascular exercise that is great at burning calories. It’s also worth considering that the cost of buying a quality fixie bike is much less than what you would pay for an annual gym membership, and with its low maintenance needs, a fixie can last you years.

If the feeling of taking charge of your fitness and building your stamina doesn’t appeal, then the pleasure that comes from skipping traffic certainly will. There’s nothing quite like cycling past dozens of cars at a standstill to reinforce how your time could be better spent elsewhere.

You don’t have to be very fit to make the switch to riding a fixie bike. Just a fifteen-minute ride to and from work every day will be more than sufficient in meeting your weekly cardio needs, and as your fitness level improves, you might find you want to haul out your bike on weekends too.

It’s never been easier to buy a fixie bike online, so what are you waiting for?
