Want to Be Happier? Ride a Bike

Want to be happier? Be in better shape?  Have more money?  Just ride a bike.  It's easy, because literally 40% of all trips Americans take are two miles or less, the perfect distance to ride a bike. It's fun, of course, and good for you in all kinds of ways you already know.

In case you need any additional inspiration or explanation, just check out this terrific animated video, "Riding With Sophie" with that exact message. Just two minutes long, from the Cascade Bicycle Club of Seattle, Washington.
