All three of these things are super beneficial to people. As I previously stated, biking is able to decrease stress levels, but it can also reduce anxiety and depression. Many people struggle with all three of these, so it is good to know that biking can help combat all three of these problems. Another physical benefit to biking is that it strengthens leg muscles. Although this may seem obvious, it is good to know that it can strengthen leg muscles without overstressing your joints. Another physical benefit of biking is that it can lower cholesterol levels.
