People who drive to work generally do not want to sweat, which is why the <\/span><b>load intensity <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can be <\/span><b>described<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as moderate. The scientific classification for this is provided by the researcher Barbara E. Ainsworth from Arizona State University: For this purpose, she has rated numerous everyday and sports activities via the metabolic equivalent (MET) in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compendium of Physical Activities<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bicycling, to\/from work, self selected pace<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; is rated there with <\/span><b>6.8 MET<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and is thus in the midfield (walking 3 MET, running &gt; 10 MET). 500 MET minutes equals the recommended 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week. Converted, this would mean<\/span><b>5 days a week, about 15 min commute to work<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by bike. Doable, right? These even short travel distances of 3-5 km are sufficient to cause a significant increase in fitness in previously inactive subjects. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cycling<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is thus considered very <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">healthy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There is also an urgent need for this: 44 % of adult women and 40 % of men in Germany are considered to be sedentary, measured by the official benchmark of the World Health Organization (WHO). This advocates a minimum amount of exercise for health maintenance of 150 min of moderate or 75 min of intense aerobic activity per week. With regard to widespread diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer or type 2 diabetes mellitus, the <\/span><b>lack of exercise as a risk factor plays without<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a doubt in the same league as smoking, high blood pressure or obesity. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cycling<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> prevents lack of exercise, ensures fresh air &#8211; a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">healthy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mix. One simple option to address the problem of physical inactivity and its health consequences is to incorporate more physical activity into our daily routines, for example, by cycling to work. Commuting by bicycle is associated with a <\/span><b>lower risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and mortality from all causes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Celis-Morales et al., 2017). Incidentally, a longer commute to work by bicycle is associated with a higher subjective health status and a lower body mass index (Echeverr\u00eda et al. 2022). The morning commute to work is also the source of the <\/span><b>good mood<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through the release of happiness hormones such as serotonin. Pedaling on a bike thus increases the well-being of employees and is the optimal ingredient for a relaxed and cheerful start to the workday.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18d7b57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"18d7b57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Risks for bicycle accidents<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6974c4e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6974c4e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Facts and figures<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9abc69d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9abc69d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The total number of <\/span><b>bicycle accidents<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has increased in recent <\/span><b>years<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is largely due to the growing popularity of pedelecs.

In the case of non-motorized bicycles, the number of accidents involving personal injury fell from 76.643 to 67.931 over the same period. From a seasonal perspective, it should be noted that the cycling season has become longer and less pronounced only in the summer months.

The parties responsible for the accident can all be road users. Classic examples are cyclists disregarding the right of way, using bike lanes in the wrong direction, or running red lights. Drivers, on the other hand, are not attentive when turning and overlook cyclists. The sudden opening of car doors is also typical. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the German Federal Statistical Office, incorrect road use, inappropriate speed and mistakes when turning are the most common errors committed by cyclists in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bicycle accidents<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with personal injury (2020).

To do this, they summarized the literature on air pollution, traffic accidents, and physical activity using systematic reviews and supplemented them with recent key studies. Impacts on total mortality were then quantified for the scenario if 500.000 people in the Netherlands switched from cars to bicycles for short trips every day. Effects on mortality were expressed in years of life gained or lost. For people who switch from car to bicycle, the <\/span><b>positive effects of increased physical activity estimated to be much higher (3-14 months gained) than the potential mortality effects of increased inhaled air pollution doses (0.8-40 days lost) and increases in traffic accidents (5-9 days lost).<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The societal benefits are even greater, with modest reductions in air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and traffic accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Health risks associated<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with higher exposure to air pollutants and an increased risk of accidents on busy roads, especially in large cities, <\/span><b>cannot significantly reduce the health-promoting effect of bicycle mobility according<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the current state of <\/span><b>research<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the results of a Dutch research study should be mentioned, which analyzed the relationship between cycling in commuter traffic and absenteeism due to illness, as well as the possible dose-response relationship between absenteeism and distance, frequency, and speed of cycling in commuter traffic. The mean total duration of <\/span><b>absenteeism was more than one day shorter for cyclists than for non-cyclists.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Compared to people who cycle a short distance (&lt; or = 5 km) three times a week, people who cycle more frequently and longer distances are absent on fewer days on average. Riding a bike to work is associated with less absenteeism. The more often people bike to work and the longer the distance traveled, the less likely they are to call in sick (Hendriksen et al., 2010).<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08c743f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"08c743f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What can employers do to prevent accidents among cyclists?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-377c5df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"377c5df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer your employees:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seasonal <\/span><b>Safety checks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (mobile workshop service) for bicycles or service contract with bicycle stores for maintenance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Company bikes <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that you lease (incl. maintenance)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Discounts in bike shops<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or bike online stores<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Secure parking facilities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for bicycles at the place of work (roofing)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Professional cycling training<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for road safety<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Information\/ Communication<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or seasonal focus actions on safe cycling<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(e.g. lighting &amp; visibility in fall).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further useful suggestions can be found in the handbook &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bicycle-friendly employer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; &#8211; an initiative of the EU and the ADFC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although employees have no authority to issue instructions regarding their commute to work,<\/span><b> the analysis of commuting accidents<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another possible preventive approach.
