    Cycling’s rhythmic, cyclical nature is very beneficial to the lungs. While cycling, the lungs are constantly supplied with fresh oxygen, and the higher breathing rate develops the muscles around them. A healthy lung can absorb more oxygen-rich air because it circulates more air across the lungs. Image Credit: AFP
