How Cycling Impacted My Life

I am so fortunate to make cycling and training my job. It doesn’t feel like work, but I’m helping not only myself but so many people in the process.

Cycling helps keep people happier by promoting a healthy, positive shift in mental wellbeing. Cycling is a type of aerobic exercise that can increase levels of serotonin (our happy hormones) in the brain

Such emotions and sensations are very similar to those described by people addicted to other types of substances. If we make a break in a developed cycling habit, we start up missing something, which might be regarded as a withdrawal symptom. Endorphines produced by cycling convert into opiate-like peptides.

Cycling improves strength, balance and coordination. It may also help to prevent falls and fractures. Riding a bike is an ideal form of exercise if you have osteoarthritis, because it is a low-impact exercise that places little stress on joints.

Being able to teach 20 classes a week, mostly cycling, has improved my mental health as well as physical well-being.
