Most cycle-commuters will tell you cycling to work is the best way to get to and from work and it's probably doing you some good. However a recent major study, published in the British Medical Journal, suggests that the health benefits are staggering, slashing the risk of heart disease and cancer. FTFA:
Research has consistently shown that people who are less physically active are both more likely to develop health problems like heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and to die younger. Yet there is increasing evidence that physical activity levels are on the decline.
The problem is that when there are many demands on our time, many people find prioritising exercise difficult. One answer is to multi-task by cycling or walking to work. We've just completed the largest ever study into how this affects your health.

So we'll see you standing on the shoulder of the highway, then, holding a giant sign that says "TURN OFF YOUR RADIO! CONCENTRATE ON THE TASK AT HAND!!!" and shaking your fist, right? Those people are moving geometrically more tons of mass at much higher speeds with a much, much greater kinetic energy than all the cyclists in the world taken together (and that's saying something given how many biking Chinese there are...).
