Cycling is incredible; it will help improve so many aspects of your life.
- Cycling to work can mean you have a 45% lower risk of developing cancer, and a 46% lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
- If you cycle regularly in adulthood, you will enjoy a level of fitness equivalent to someone 10 years younger.
- If all cycle journeys increased from the current level of 2% to 25% by 2050, the collective benefit would be £248bn.
