Cycling feels good…we pedal our way to better metabolism, coordination, flatter tummy… Healthy blood flows to brain and various other organs (😉). The emotional health is a definite mental benefit of cycling. It gives a spike in dopamine, which makes us happy, agile, and energetic.

We assimilated some cycling clips from a few famous English and Hindi (Indian) movies to take you down the memory lane.

- Crisp tarmac, fresh air of Salzburg, and invigorating conversations…all during a long stint in the saddle, during your dad’s absence… English Movie -The Sound of Music
- Bicycles held their importance during breakups, they provided reprieve from sullen situations and filled the ‘do naught’ time. Hindi Movie – QSQT
- Kids love it ….all shapes and sizes enjoy can mount and dislodge… Peppa Pig
