Bon Scott Rule of Biking

Pronunciation:
bon skot rool uhv by-king

Definition:
A performance hack where listening to highly enjoyable, high-energy music makes physical effort feel easier, causing you to move faster without consciously trying.

Based on the idea that when the brain is sufficiently engaged and rewarded (via rhythm, nostalgia, or pure hype), it downregulates perceived effort and increases output.

In simple terms:
If you’re vibing hard enough, your body forgets it’s tired.

Mechanism (unofficial):
Dopamine + rhythm synchronization + attention hijack = accidental overperformance

Warning:
May result in unintentionally setting personal records.
“Dude I was late as hell, threw on some AC/DC and hit full Bon Scott Rule of Biking. Got there in half the time.”

“Wasn’t even trying to go fast, just accidentally Bon Scott’d the whole ride.”
