Experiencing a pleasant stimulus makes humans want to experience it again. Even if it's easy, if I can do something that I've worked on, I try to do more. Psychologically, being stimulated with pleasure in the reward system makes us want to experience that experience again. Even if it's a simple thing, when you can do it yourself, motivation is born. However, if it is too difficult, you will lose the motivation to tackle it, thinking that it is impossible anyway. If it seems that it can be done easily at this level, it seems that you can work on it without being too conscious.
Cycling is a tool that is easy to do and gradually increases fun and usefulness. When I was watching TV the other day, I heard that bicycle commuting is increasing in Indonesia and other countries, and that it is helping to reduce traffic congestion. Of course, the number of people commuting by bicycle in Japan is increasing. Since coming here, there have been voices saying that the productivity of employees who commute by bicycle is increasing. The activity of cycling activates the sympathetic nervous system. From the active state of the sympathetic nerves, you can immediately shift to work. Companies are starting to see health maintenance and promotion as an investment rather than a cost. Some companies have set up shower rooms and encouraged people to commute by bicycle.
To promote better health and better production, societies are required to put in place several mechanisms. This tip is in London, England and New York, USA. In 2008, Mayor of London Johnson (former Prime Minister) put in place the Supercycle Highway. He created bike lanes and paved roads to make it easier to use bicycles. Times Square in New York used to be crowded with private cars and yellow taxis. Currently, in front of Times Square, a bicycle path is maintained as an open cafe. In Europe and the United States, including these cities, the environment has been developed so that even one person can move around. Such regular exercise promotes better health and reduces the risk of lifestyle-related diseases. In developed countries, about 30% of medical expenses and about 60% of deaths are caused by lifestyle-related diseases. The construction of cycling roads is intended to improve health, reduce the risk of lifestyle-related diseases, and reduce medical expenses.
