As a nurse, you know that exercise plays an important part in the overall health of your patients. And, it can also help your health as well! Biking is an ideal cardio activity that’s easy to get started in. As you continue to strengthen your body and increase endurance, you’ll be able to take on more challenging routes.
Here in the Shreveport-Bossier City area, we have access to paths and trails in a range of difficulty levels. If you’re looking for an easier or family-friendly path, check out the eight-mile Red River Bicycle Trail in the downtown area.2 Travel nurses with an affinity for mountain biking will love the Lincoln Parish Park in nearby Ruston, LA.3
