Bicycling is pretty great for people to feel happier. Along with a strong safety net, I think great bicycling culture is what makes the Danes and the Dutch super happy in the annual happiness surveys. Every day I ride my bike to work I usually feel the happiness boost. Each day I choose not to ride in I feel grumpy. Agreed with Karen. Bicycling is pretty great for people to feel happier.

They're not in a sporty rush to get anywhere. Thanks for sharing. New York cycling seems very mellow too. They're not in a sporty rush to get anywhere. Thanks for sharing.

Pedestrians also incur benefits 1 - 10, but bicyclists have six times the range. Perhaps bicycles should start being included in everyone's emergency preparedness kit?
