#1 Biking reduces stress
Unfortunately, seven out of ten American people have been complaining about experiencing stress at least daily. This is an extremely high number, and therefore this is a problem that has to be addressed.

Biking especially in Los Angeles will reduce your stress and improve your daily life.
#2 Biking reduces anxiety
Anxiety has become a problem that a lot of people are dealing with these days. Although we all have some anxiety every now and then, having to deal with anxiety on a daily basis can have a real and lasting impact on the quality of someone’s life. A 2001 study found that exercise, either low- or high-intensity exercise can have a positive effect on reducing anxiety, as well as reducing your sensitivity to having anxiety! Either one of our biking tours would be amazing to help you beat anxiety!

Of course we all are aware about the positive effects that biking and exercising can have on your physical and mental health. But exercising outdoors is even better! So stop working your ass off inside the gym, and take your exercise outdoors! Studies have shown that being outdoors will not just lift your spirits; it also increases the feeling of revitalization, energy and positive engagement, while decreasing tension, confusion anger and depression. What else could you possibly want?!
