I always knew it was doing this to my brain! 54 years of it!

Wow! Couldn't have said it better. It's worked for me for my 61 1/2 yrs. of riding.

Yes! This is why I still ride as much as I can at 76 years old. Started at 19 with my first bike and have never been with out one ever since.

Weird AI generated video. One of my friends participated in this study some years back:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33482998/
TL;DR
"Riding increased epinephrine levels, increased heart rate, and decreased the ratio of cortisol to DHEA-S. Together, these results suggest that riding increases focus, heightens the brain's passive monitoring of changes in the sensory environment, and alters HPA axis response. More generally, our findings suggest that selective attention and sensory monitoring seem to be separable neural processes. "

Definitely an addiction,makes zero practical sense,nice to hear it is good for us.

My translation has always been:

"Just like a dog riding in a vehicle with their head out the window."

How weird that the AI voice was loaded with breathless excitement!

The internet is a constant sales pitch.
