You always feel better after a bike ride

Here’s a seven-word miracle cure: “You always feel better after a bike ride.”

A bike ride provides near-instant relief for crabbiness, fatigue, stress, or all three. No treatment is 100% effective, but it’s rare to feel worse after a stint on two wheels.

If you don’t have a bike or know how to ride one, substitutions aren’t just allowed — they’re encouraged. Everyone has their own version of “bike ride.”

The criteria are loose but important: it should involve doing rather than consuming, body more than mind, and it shall be done alone, because this is medicine.

Learn your dose, and you’re never without a cure.
