You may be asking yourself why Seton is even interested in cycling and in cycling safety. In our role as a healthcare network, Seton is committed to leadership not just in taking care of the sick and injured but as an active participant in growing efforts to keep the community well. As the area safety net provider, we believe it is in the community's best interest to keep its residents both in good health and injury-free.
Cycling is a healthy form of exercise.
Not only does it improve cardiovascular health, but it's relaxing and fun. Austin's extensive hike and bike trails make it attractive to riders of all ages and ability levels and provides an enormous amount of pleasure. Biking is good for everyone and a wonderful way to enjoy the natural bounty of the region in which we live. But cycling carries certain risks. Falls by bikers not wearing helmets result in head injuries several times a year.
