Cycling is highly effective for mitigating depression & the mental anguish that can result in Self Harm attempts. When you're on a bike your mind is focussed & you can safely face your demons. A bike though should not be only an escape from personal issues. Cycling is what I call Road Yoga & it's metronomic effect is calming. It boosts Serotonin (a calming neurotransmitter). It boosts Dopamine, which creates an elated effect & also Adrenaline which makes you feel energised. I work in the mental health field & also see the negative effects of Overtraining which can also cause depression due to the high cortisol levels that can trigger this. Paul has done his ride in a very positive way & everything he has stated makes complete sense.
Thanks for sharing this Marcus 🙏 you completely understand cycling from, not only the mental health aspect, but also being a cyclist who has bike packed across great distances. You get it 😀🚴
As someone with ADHD I have found cycling to be a gamechanger in my life. Thanks a lot Paul and Serafina for sharing your journeys, cycling celebrations folks!

Yes I get it & know that too much hardcore cycling is also bad for your mental health. The body works well with moderation
