Impact of Cycling on Your Brain
Cycling nurtures your brain with increased blood supply and
improved transportation of oxygen and nutrients. This improves
performance of your brain and your brain cells grow to become
healthier and stronger.
Cycling also increases formation of BDNF, a protein
responsible for generating new brain cells. This increases
production of neurons and strengthens nerve cells.
Cycling ensures neutralization of brain functioning that
occurs with age. People who ride long and strong are least
susceptible to age-related brain disorders.

Impact of Cycling on Your Brain (Continued)
Cycling stimulates hippocampus, the brain core. This
improves memory.
Bicycling increases levels of happy hormone serotonin. This
works to pump norepinephrine which creates a blissful
feeling.
Cycling triggers formation of norepinephrine, endorphins,
dopamine, serotonin and anandamide which collaboratively
push you to ride longer and harder.
Cycling helps improve white matter, the subway system of the
brain. This improves communication of the brain with other
body organs.
