Default More evidence of the health benefits of cycling

Clean living way to beat cancer:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7908675.stm

"Over 40% of breast and bowel cancer cases in rich countries are
preventable through diet, physical activity and weight control alone,
experts say. Simple measures like cycling to work and swapping fatty
foods for fruit can make all the difference for these and many other
cancers, they say."

Good stuff.

"There is no magic bullet, no one single fix to the problem. If we are
to tackle the situation we need individuals, business and government to
work together to encourage healthy lifestyles by promoting things like
cycle lanes and food labelling."

Oh dear.

Do you know that someone using the name Roger Thorpe
impersonates you from time to time?

Helmets are not beneficial to cyclists - unless the evidence forces them to a dramatically different conclusion.
