Need another reason to get on your bicycle?

Wednesday, September 29, 2004

Need another reason to get on your bicycle? Here are five, from An Argument for Bicycle Commuting by Joseph Sandone:

A person who cycles as a commuter consistently can expect, according to a report released in the American Journal of Public Health, to
live longer than those who don't
be less likely to develop coronary heart disease
have lower incidences of stroke and colon cancer
have a reduced likelihood of back injuries
will maintain a higher level of functional independence in old age.
