Is it possible?
The other morning I woke up so tired. I drank 2 cups of coffee but it wasn’t working. I needed to get some things done around the house and run a few errands. Since I felt sleepy, I figured I should just go back to bed and get another hour of sleep. However, the coffee I drank earlier left me alert and my mind was starting to wake up, but not my body.
Rather than risking getting anxiety attacks from an additional cup of coffee, I decided to jump on my bike and do some springs up and down my street. I figured the quick rush of the blood flowing through my body would wake me up. I did 20 second intervals and BOOM! I was awake!
Getting on my bike did more wonders for me than caffeine did that morning.
I find this to be the same case when bike commuting. When ride my bike to work, I typically don’t drink coffee because the bike does a better job in waking me up.
This is due to the heart pumping blood through out the body and releasing endorphins and oxegeyn giving you a euphoric high of happyness so to speak.
Basiclly your brain is telling you your happy to just be on your bike and your bike is saying “Thanks for taking me out for a ride!”
