1) It nearly "erases" my mind from a very bad day at work.
2) It almost always cures loneliness, because someone wants to go along with me sometimes. Or I meet new people while I'm out riding.
3) Many times I feel a lot more relaxed on a bike than in a car, even when I am riding in the big city.
4) I just love the positive psychological effect of knowing that I can go places that motor vehicles can't.
5) Other mental effects.............

Normally find it relaxing and like most exercise makes me feel better and invigorated at the end (once you've recovered!)
Unless you bump into a car or have a puncture - not so much fun. So on average on the mental side a positive A Plus!

Exercise stresses the body, and in turn your hypothalamus releases "feel-good" chemicals into your bloodstream that are very similar to opium. These chemicals make you feel relaxed, happy and calm, and are responsible for the so-called "runner's high."
In addition, regular cycling give you more energy, makes you more alert in general, lets you sleep deeper and boosts your mood even when you're not riding.
In 16 years of riding, I have never come back from a ride feeling sad or angry.

well it is proven that exercising causes your brian to release hormones that make you feel good or better about yourself !! cycling is a type of exercise so i imagine that it has the same or similar affect on your body and mind ...
if you think about it ... it makes sense ...because you are doing something that you know the results are going to make you happy so every day when you do your bits of exercise you feel better about yourself because you know you are doing soemthing that is good for you and in the end you are going to look better and feel better !!

cycling is very good for the mind. in a recent publication from Bicycling mag, cycling enhances your memory and reflexes. it also helps your eyesight, but most of all, its a recreational activity, so it helps clear the mind of stress.

I second the above, plus when I'm rolling along I have a feeling of freedom that I can't get from anything else.

It clears your mind, helps relax you. If I'm having a bad day at work, I'll go for a ride for "stress therapy".
