Why Cycling

      Although the weather in Tulsa can change from hour to hour, spring has sprung, trees are blooming, and allergy season is upon us, yet outdoor activities are building to an all time high.  Statics say Oklahoma is one of the unhealthiest states in the nation. Not having access to the data I won’t argue the point, I will however suggest they take another look at Oklahoma, specifically Tulsa and surrounding areas. At LEGENDS BICYCLES AND ACCESSORIES cycling is booming.  Bike sales, bike repairs, Individual and group coaching, and group rides five days a week are changing the lives of Tulsans’.

      Why Ride a Bike

      An exercise for people of all ages, the benefits of riding a bike extend from increased cardiovascular fitness and strength building to increased balance, flexibility, endurance, stamina and one of the most important – increased calorie burn.  Many riders report a reduction in stress, feeling more relaxed, more energized and happier with themselves and their surroundings.

      Biking and the Environment

      Whether you believe in global warming or not, we all agree emissions from cars affects the environment. You need look no further than our large industrial cities and their clean air challenges. Biking puts fewer cars on the highways – it’s a fact!  Short trips to the train, bus or subway station can make a difference.  Look around!  More and more people are doing it. Cycling is fashionable, environmentally conscience and saves money.

      Why LEGENDS BICYCLES AND ACCESSORIES

      Why YOU

      I have heard story after story of fitness club burnout, of boredom jogging in circles on a dirt or concrete road or track. Of seeing the same trees, fences, buildings, people day, after day, after day.  It’s time to change the routine, break the habit, find something new, refreshing and exciting. Time to explore your community, take old dirt roads, discover places cars can’t go, feel the wind at your back, wave to a friend, talk to a kid, share a new experience with interesting people you otherwise might never have met.  It’s time to consider cycling – if not for any other reason, for the fun of it.
