Default Cycling to work can cut cancer and heart disease, says study

The biggest study into the issue linked using two wheels with a halving
of the risk of cancer and heart disease.
The five-year study of 250,000 UK commuters also showed walking had some
benefits over sitting on public transport or taking the car.
The team in Glasgow said cycling took no willpower once it became part
of the work routine - unlike going to the gym.
The five-year study compared people who had an "active" commute with
those who were mostly stationary.

And it's so *easy* to walk to work, isn't it?

For instance, my last place of work was only just over ten miles from home.

Not like when I used to travel 34.1 miles from home to office car-park,
which would have necessitated a trot rather than a stroll.

I had a couple of colleagues who cycled to work, they always came in either drenched with rain or pouring with sweat. Not really nice for the rest of us. Then they'd take half an hour to get changed, and it'd need another half an hour to air out the office.

That's why cycling was mentioned.

I have many colleagues who drive to work. The stench that comes off them after their gruelling 200 yard walk from the car park is nauseating. Then there is the smell from the dozen microwave cheeseburgers they each need to revive themselves after their ordeal.
Fortunately I have my own office, RHIP.

No, if they cycled they would be fit and not sweat on something as low energy as a commute.

Cyclists who commute tend to cycle very fast, so they sweat.

I just took a leaflet out of my mailbox, informing me that I can have sex at 75.
I'm so happy, because I live at number 71.
So it's not too far to walk home afterwards. And it's the same side of the street.
I don't even have to cross the road!
