That means that not having enough glucose in your blood to fuel the system has mental and emotional affects in addition to physical affects. However, the muscles won’t completely shut down before the brain begins to be affected and the mental and emotional consequences of bonking can be more dangerous to the cyclist than the physical consequences.
