Cycling helps to reduce air pollution while also helping you to stay healthy and protect you from getting sick. You can cycle all year round, and it’s especially fun during the warmer seasons.

Driving a car emits ten times more carbon than cycling, contributing to climate change. In cities such as Antwerp and London, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter pollution decreased when more people started cycling. Compared to private cars and public transportation, cycling does not emit pollutants, allows you to avoid traffic jams, and improves the function of the heart, lungs, and other organs.

Take the pledge to cycle more and protect your and your loved ones’ health.
