Pedal for the Planet
Did you know that in Amsterdam there are more bicycles than people? Riding has so many benefits for our health and the environment.
Bike riding helps the environment by:
• Being powered by you and not petrol
• Reducing air pollution
For your health, bike riding:
• Improves balance and posture
• Increases flexibility and strength
• Heightens your mood
It is also a wonderful activity to do with friends and family.
Looking for your next place to ride?
You can use the Bike Map app, a free, interactive database sharing thousands of cycling paths around Greater Dandenong (and world-wide).
