1. I'm interested in how cycling changes my body; blood pressure, muscle development, overall ability, etc.
2. I have trouble sleeping if I don't get enough physical activity throughout the day.
3. Endorphins are good for mental health, and biking keeps me happy.
4. Like almost everyone these days, there's a family history of diabetes, and cancer, (but not heart disease yet) and I'm hoping to avoid those by being preventative with nutrition and cycling.
