I think that bicycle riding is good for mental health

Especially if one has symptoms of depression because the sunshine helps to generate vitamin D which is good and bicycling is good exercising often taking one away from depressive thoughts. I know that in winters I am more depressed than in summers, of course it can be any outdoor activity such as walking.

Yes. Studies have shown aerobic exercise is good for schizophrenia.

not when you hallucinate. 2 years ago i rode 40 miles the whole time with auditory hallucinations. it was exhausting not physically but mentally. it was awful to be truthful. i haven’t rode that far sense.

Yes i love bicycling with my headset listening to music it very calming for me

Yeah I snowboarded with auditory hallucinations it’s very distracting

it’s not distracting it’s stressful and exhausting. hearing negative mean comments for 4 hours while biking is not fun. I wouldn’t say distracting is the word i would use.

I’m sorry if i sound crabby i am.

Yeah it’s a bit of both. But hey gotta deal with cards your dealt.

i’ve heard hallucinations daily for a couple years now. I"ve attempted suicide because of them. your right i got deal with the cards i’m dealt.

Hey man were all in the same boat. I had auditory hallucinations for years as well. Sorry to hear you’ve attempted suicide. Hopefully you get the right help you need. Things can get better.

Yes. Exercise works well for me. Reminds me I need to put a tube into my old crappy mountain bike for some different exercise. Riding is good!
