Top reasons to cycle early in the day

The question of whether it’s better to cycle in the morning or afternoon has stirred debate in cycling circles for years, but the answer really boils down to your own individual preferences. To help you figure out whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, here are some reasons why it might be beneficial to cycle in the morning or afternoon, based on how you feel physically and mentally.

Should you ride in the morning or evening? Or should you cycle at lunch time? This article will give you the top reasons to cycle early in the day, so read on to learn more! 

1) Save time

Cycling has been shown to be an efficient way of getting from A to B. The morning commute, however, is typically a time when commuters are facing heavy traffic. By cycling in your spare time before work and leaving your car at home, you can save hours of your time per week. If you’re considering making a change or starting out with cycling, consider doing it earlier than later! Especially if you’re going through North Wales...which we highly recommend.

2) Stay safe

One of my favorite times of year is autumn. I love bundling up and riding through North Wales when it’s crisp out. But when you do, there are a few things you should know before heading outside. First, always stay with your group, no matter how close or far ahead they are. Even if you don’t see them anymore, they may be waiting for you up ahead so that everyone stays together safely.

3) Save money

If you're commuting by bike, you won't have to pay for parking. If you drive into a busy city especially, those parking fees can add up quickly too! Cycling North Wales also gives you a great workout meaning that you no longer have to spend your hard-earned cash on the gym and have extra time in the evenings if you ride to and from work. It's a win-win situation.

4) Avoid traffic jams

If you want to avoid traffic jams, don’t cycle during rush hour - this can be difficult if you decide to ride to work. Morning or evening are both good times of day for cycling; you can get a lot done before peak travel hours and avoid getting stuck in traffic. Getting up earlier is worth it if it means saving time and avoiding stressful situations. Don’t forget about safety, though: your route should be well-lit and free of hazards like storm drains, potholes or uneven road surfaces. Always make sure someone knows where you’re going—it never hurts to have an extra set of eyes keeping an eye out for you.
