Now it needs to have a motor because you can’t manage your time and you need to squeeze in a ride before sunset? THIS IS NOT MY PROBLEM. The world does not owe you a good time. Maybe take a lesson from the roadies you’re always making fun of and *ride your bike in the morning* like someone with a life.

When you run or do other physical activities, your body produces more of them.
Areas of the brain that regulate the stress response, including the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, are rich in receptors for endocannabinoids.
So when endocannabinoid molecules lock into these receptors, your stress levels go down. They also tend to decrease pain, improve mood, and set off positive neurotransmitters like dopamine and endorphins, further fueling that feeling of euphoria and optimism.
