Cycling can ease feelings of stress, depression, or anxiety. Focusing on the road while you are cycling helps develop concentration and awareness of the present moment. This may help take your focus away from the mental chatter of your day. If you find yourself feeling lethargic or listless, get yourself on your bike for at least 10 minutes. Exercise releases endorphins, which in turn help you feel better while lowering stress levels. You may feel more confident and content once you make cycling a regular part of your life.
