Bi cycles are commonly used by people seeking to improve their fitness and cardiovascular health. In this regard, bicycling is especially helpful for those with arthritis of the lower limbs and who are unable to pursue sports such as running that involve more impact to joints such as the knees. Furthermore, since cycling can be used as a form of transportation, there can be less demand for self-discipline to maintain the exercise because of the practical purpose of the activity. Cycling while seated is a relatively non-weight bearing exercise that, like swimming, does little to promote leg bone strength. Cycling up and out of the saddle, on the other hand, does a better job by transferring more of the rider's body weight to the legs. This latter style of cycling is considered less energy-efficient, and can cause damage to the knees.
