October the 10th is World Mental Health Day, so why not get on your bike. Whether you want to raise money/awareness for the cause by cycling or if you are currently experiencing mental health issues, a bicycle ride can be a great way to get a spot of fresh air and clear your head.
Here’s how cycling can help with depression, stress, anxiety and other health issues
- A bike ride allows you to clear your head and get some fresh air.
- You can take a bad day out on a bicycle, pedal fast, push hard and you may find your stress reduces.
- Getting involved in the cycling community can help build new friendships. It’s always good to talk.
- Cycling improves fitness and health, you may find yourself feeling more positive about yourself due to your changing physique.
- Regular riding is a great way to exercise and that burnt energy is more likely to help you relax and get a good night’s sleep.
