One reason could be that physical activity causes the body to release so-called ‘happy hormones’ (like endorphins, dopamine and serotonin). This helps positively change our mood, making us feel less stressed and better able to manage anxiety and depression, and cycling can bring about a feeling of greater self-esteem, self-control and the ability to rise to a challenge – making one feel good about himself and the world around him. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the fresh air and discover the great outdoors.
