To your (mental) health

So we know that biking or walking instead of driving whenever possible is better for the environment. And it's pretty obvious that it's better for your physical health, too.

But have you thought about the benefits of walking or biking to your mental health and happiness? Exercise has been proven to elevate the mood, reduce anxiety, and help cope with depression. When you make biking to work, for example, part of your daily routine, you are measurably helping your body and mind, as well as your planet.
