An immune boost

Cycling, like all physical activity, stimulates the heart and reduces cardiovascular risks. Each pedal stroke, at a moderate pace, improves cardiac endurance, does the whole body good, and helps prevent disease and infection. The immune system gets activated, standing ready to defend the body more effectively.

A rise in morale

The secretion of endorphins, triggered by physical activity like cycling, results in a form of psychological relaxation, both during and after exertion. Stress and anxiety gradually disappear to make way for a feeling of pleasure and intense happiness. When you cycle in Alsace, you do much more than just exercise, you take care of yourself on all levels.

Cognitive stimulation

Cycling oxygenates the brain and increases the cyclist's cognitive abilities. Oxygenation promotes better concentration, improves memory, and enhances reasoning. Getting around by bike becomes a stimulating moment for the mind and a great opportunity to push the limits of reflection.
